By the iron law of Boom-enomics, wherein each supply chain failure forces a company-wide pivot (aircraft --> engine --> stationary power), now Boom Supersonic is an AI data center company. techcrunch.com/2026/09/25/c...

What's amazing about the chemtrails conspiracy is that it's both completely true (aviation emissions change the climate and impact your health) but completely misdiagnoses the cause (fossil fuels, not "spraying"), therefore leading absolutely nowhere.

screengrab from @atrupar.com's clip from FoxNews, showing a split screen: Trump to the left and the audience to the right. One man in audience is giving the double bird to the stage (Trump), another, in front of the first, has his back to the stage, and his t-shirt reads "Kill Your Local Pedophile".

Fairly tautological, but if the Trump administration wants to move from a ban on overland supersonic flights (guaranteed to protect the public from the harms of sonic boom and supersonic air pollution) to a performance-based approach, it needs to have a solid definition of performance. (🧵)
