In northern VA we have a softball tournament on Father's Day weekend also known as punishment weekend for all the bad things you did up above on Earth. The temps and humidity get pretty nuts. The winning team is the one that manages sun exposure and heat exhaustion the best.

I had a similar experience this summer driving the Pacific Coast Highway. I doubt my life ever moves me there but, that experience was amazing. Remember, Michigan summers are superior to any summer anywhere else.

Does anyone remember how torqued Bill Bonds got over the DTW Northwest airlines crash? That was him at his saltiest.

posts Super Hans video from Peep Show Obviously sarcasm.

I remember a poster cheering for a bunch of govies to lose their jobs over DOGE.

a bit strong.

seconded but...this does at least seem to be at risk given the obvious badness of this group of three.

AI nurses are better than doctors....consider that statement in light of this event. Calm ATC dealing with a normal situation on a normal night and we had this.

I would hope they would delay the nomination hearings out of respect. It is important that people see how dangerous these nominations are.

48 Hour rule doesn't apply because this doesn't involve the gun lobby.

Please be true The New Republic: "Senate Republicans are wary of Tulsi Gabbard, putting her confirmation as director of national intelligence in jeopardy." — Bluesky

if government is the target of DOGE...this is your evident that "efficiencies" designed by self-interested oligarchs are never a good idea.

Chatting about this on bsky last night...the SNL music special was amazing. Highlights: the incredible music history lesson that watching 50 years of supremely diverse performances is the Rage Against the Machine/Steve Forbes events the previously not seen by me: Dad's band at daughter's wedding sketch

The most obvious narrative for your editorials from the crash is: "government experts are probably useful for something"

Man...almost as if it would be hard to believe her.

Let that sink in. Being sick is really a matter of choice. Let that sink in. Is Healthcare a right? Would not answer. Let that sink in. Government by and for rich jackasses who think very little about the proles and outer party.

I fly out of there on Palm Sunday in April. Its been a while because we live much closer to Dulles. I do remember when I was younger we would do a circuit on our bikes around the Mall, the Potomac, and across the various bridges to the park right by the end of the runway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravelly_Point. Great airplane watching location. Horrible tragedy. I have seen some numbers on local tv of victims.

Military helicopter involved.

One can imagine some David Hyde Pierce character standing in front of him having to explain why these things are not being received better by "his people".

Imagine if you will that the man who said "**** it pardon them all" not having the stomach to fight legal battles in the weeds over every sweeping order he issues from his magic desk.

Against familiar narratives Brandon Wolf: "A necessary reminder that the first step to beating Trump is rejecting the idea that he is inevitable or invincible." — Bluesky The Washington Post: "Breaking news: The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a new memo obtained by The Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash." — Bluesky

They put a nutcase sociopathic dilettante who thinks we deserve it if we get Cancer on the same day as Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard because they thought Kash and Tulsi were so strong?
