"Text MERCH to 71776 to receive a link to the TPUSA merchandise store." That's a real interesting choice of a heartwarming message to have in the lower third crawl during a broadcast of a funeral service.

Hot damn I can't wait for the Gestapo to see my Chinga LA Migra sticker on the back of my truck next to a scared looking ice cube while I'm flying a drone in DTLA. PLEASE fucking hassle me.

Did I just use a drone to see why the entire freeway is completely stopped about half a mile ahead? Damn right I did. (Bad accident, no I didn't take a picture, because that's disgusting.)

Drones are at maximum operational temperature limits (105°F), so looks like we're doing good old fashioned ground surveys without aerial support. At least the air quality is great! Party on!

It also says "Extreme Caution" and "Oppressive", and I can tell you that it ain't lyin'.A local UV Index report showing that there is a high sunburn risk from 11am to 2pm.

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhere—thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.

Filmmaker and Star Trek genius Jesse Gender was suspended from Bsky for wishing "ill will" on transphobic JKR. Wishing ill will to JKR is NOT against the Bsky Community Guidelines that state: "Do not glorify violence or harm." Negative thoughts are not harm. Fix this now, @moderation.bsky.app

The Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, who's quals for the position include reality TV and being a lumberjack put forth a new directive about the usage of drones. One part partially relaxes the regulations for flying over people (that'll be LOTS of fun) but also changes rules for BVLOS.

"Ok. Why do you need such a huge chunk of airspace?" Because the survey area is just over 1.5 nautical miles wide. So, technically my request of a .5 radius won't cover all of it. I can reduce it to .25, but I'll have to make three times the requests. "That's a lot. I'll get back to you."

Thursday July 31 FBI: We have no intention of extending the TFRs after they expire today. Me: Great! That it'll make it easy for us to fly commercially. FBI: Fly safe! Sunday August 3rd TFRs back up, extending until OCTOBER 31. Me: Um. Two months? Seriously? FBI: Yeah, sorry.

Had a white guy with a backwards cap and sunglasses in a red Model 3 pace me just so he could call me a f****t, tell me to fuck off, and flip me the bird. Then his car autobraked, freaked him out, and he merged angrily onto the 134. It's a sticker dude. Relax. But thank you for proving my point.

People seem to get very upset at a sticker.

Here's a couple more of those NGL things while I'm waiting for Big Blue to get an oil change. Well, week went ok. Finally stopped getting calls from the FBI about TFRs. Everything is going as well as it is (which is, honestly, not totally awesome), and tomorrow I'm inspecting roofs with the drone.

A great example of "cancer brain": I went to my water filter to refill my water bottle (OCD. I only drink water if it's from one of my bottles). I turn on the filter. Wait for it to get cold. Can't figure out why I can't unscrew the cap. That's because I was holding my phone, not my water bottle.

See? All good. A few boats bumping into their slips down in the marina, some extra waves onto the beach, no real damage to speak of. Bit of a more energetic high tide. Still, stay out of the water for a bit longer today. These events last quite a while, and currents can still be a little wonky.

There's a really cool site in San Pedro that we have really great records of. A tsunami hit the area sometime during the Late Pleistocene that created a two foot thick shelf of what we call fossil hash — a hardened, sedimentary rock of crushed and tumbled marine fossils. It's really, really cool.

Hey LA: A tsunami isn't always a hundred foot tall wave. A tsunami is a very specific term describing (usually) a geological effect on displacement that causes a series of long, fast deep water waves. As those waves get closer to shore they are compacted and slow down, and then start peaking.

Spoke with Surena, checked in, and I’m only going to say a few things. (Even if she did say I can let the chopper sing) The only reason I’m saying anything is because while everyone wants to step away “until they have all the facts”, that didn’t stop many people from spreading the lies via texts.

I did not expect my job to require calling the FBI to inform them when and where I'm flying my drone for surveys and construction. Seven separate anti-drone TFRs (Temporary Flight Restriction) to prevent the press from taking aerial photos and video. Only commercial non-media waivers are approved.
A map of the Greater Los Angeles Metro Area showing 8 red circles over specific areas representing areas under Temporary Flight Restriction. Seven smaller ones are over Westwood, Downtown LA, Paramount/Compton, San Pedro, two in Seal Beach/Los Alamitos, and Santa Ana. 

These specific TFRs created by the FBI to prevent media from taking drone photos and videos of protests against ICE.

Other commercial uses (such as construction survey, etc.) are approved for waivers only with strict conditions, such as calling local field offices and telling them when and where you will be flying.

Every media waiver has been denied.
