We do! Unlike a certain general counsel turned associate turned press secretary. 😁

I mean, you can't expect a former senator and attorney from that state to know the law, right? That's silly talk.

That's honestly what I was wondering. What's the point in time comparison and was it before or after the data center attack?

Well, true, but makes me wonder what the order covered and how the agents/judge worked around it.

I haven't followed all the twists and turns of this story. What order was ignored?

He was in Texas for Paxton with his weird backhanded endorsement. Really hoping for an L there, too.

Agreed. I didn't think about it until I read about it but it absolutely makes sense.

I don't like bibi AND I think this was an outside attack. The agreement flydubai had with Israel limited which pilots (by nationality) could fly into the country. Oman was one of the prohibited countries. There are a lot of unknowns still.

I've seen a little bit of mixed reporting on the second crew. What I did learn is that most carriers in the region have been flying with a second flight crew on board so that if there are missiles and they reroute, pilots won't be timed out.

That question has been addressed. Flydubai and other mid-east carriers will often have a second pilot team on board because of regional instability. If they have to reroute, it's cheaper than having to go to ground in an unplanned stopover.

I haven't looked lately but for once he might not be wrong. But what he didn't mention is that wealth is in fewer and fewer hands.

It is an emerging story. I've seen all sorts of speculative reasons, none of which I will repeat until things are substantiated. What has been released is that the thwarted pilot is from Oman. Whether he wanted hostages or to crash or weaponize the plane is unknown.

There are a lot of unreal things that are real nowadays. One of the first reports that something was wrong was from a site that tracks airplanes. They released the timetable, from the 1st broadcast of an emergency to the unlawful event broadcast to the dramatic change.

I know that now. The original reporting I saw said less.

tmerm.bsky.social @tmerm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
So read the other reporting. What we know from firsthand sources. Pilot 1 stabbed pilot 2. Plane began an uncontrolled descent before passengers and crew intervened. What we don't yet know is what was the intent - to crash into the ground, into a location, etc.

tmerm.bsky.social @tmerm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I believe the firsthand accounts. The plane went into a 4,000 ft dive before the additional pilots asserted control.

When people cut me off, I will often say something like may they soon experience the same courtesy they've shown me. So in that spirit, may he soon have an opportunity to experience the same "not so bad" conditions.

I have to admit that keeping up with Met finances has not been high on my agenda, but it surprises me that they would need to turn to a foreign government for funding. With all the arts cuts, maybe it shouldn't.

I think it says a lot how hard the right is working to smear candidates. But look on the bright side, at least he wasn't accused of being a vegan. 🤣

As much as I love a good snark, my educated guess is that due to a medical condition or medicine, he's more sensitive to cool temperatures. We see that frequently with older adults.

Thanks - this helps. You have been one of my most trusted news sources and I get you can't put a lot of details in a post but without context it sounded like a talking point. I believe he'll look @25th amendment come January, so he's raising his profile now.

We got that question from our kid once - we gave gold dollar coins - why was our tooth fairy so cheap when friends received more? I think we said that they take into account how much their parents spoil them all other times. Then we moved countries. That was fun....

I almost ran into Thurmond (literally!) during a youth lobbying day in the early 2000s. He was still walking (barely shuffling) and clearly not all there. Like with him, I wonder who's really voting.

I totally missed this and can't find the original post/comment you're referring to. No, it's up to Canada to decide what Canada wants as official language and to have laws enforcing what businesses need to do to be in compliance.

Even the banner headline is misleading. Let's assume for a moment that a staff member was in some way involved. Asking teachers to call a child by a preferred name is a far cry from "treatment" as the word is being used here.

Because the more we talk about stuff like this, the less we talk about Iran, the economy, innocent people being rounded up, etc.

Also, I learned today that the player in question is an American citizen because his mom was denied boarding their plane back to England. So if the admin had its way, this player wouldn't have been considered American. The irony - fighting for someone you tried denying citizenship to.

The head of FIFA put out a statement that it was an independent committee that made the decision. Even if it was truly independent, a call has tainted everything.

You know what I see? I see a diverse neighborhood school, what Republicans used to call local control. I see diverse families entrusting their kids to the public school system. I see something to be celebrated, not vilified or politicized.

The math isn't fully mathing. Does that mean that almost a quarter of Americans are unsure? If they're unsure after everything that's happened over the last year, I'm worried.
