this is clickbait garbage a) it wasn't ~dronez~ stuff, it was the same vanilla GPS jamming that has occurred at WSMR for decades b) a crew should *absolutely* be capable of conducting a nonprecision approach to an ILS, *ESPECIALLY* if there's a NOTAM out for PNT jamming
Katie Drummond@katie-drummond.bsky.social · 6d agoA routine medical flight, on a clear night, ended with a plane crash that killed all four people onboard. Investigators say it's the first known US civilian plane crash tied to electronic warfare. This won't be the last story of its kind. A must-read from @jeffwise.bsky.social for @wired.com
My Monday Mantra thanks to @effinbirds.com. Not like I have my shit together every other day Mondays are particularly chaotic
I keep seeing Facebook Marketplace postings from a friend who was recently killed in a car accident, and it's creating a weird spin on grief. Like "I know Jerry's dead, why's he selling motorcycle parts on Facebook?" "This message is from a deceased crawler" 🥺

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank
2 seemingly contradictory things that are true: 1) farts are funny 2) if I meet the artist who recorded the "Mommy Farted" song, or the person who introduced my kids to it, I'ma do a crime.
Zoo train ride lady just said "Canadian Geese." Fingernails on a chalkboard for a bird nerd like me. You could fail Dr. Morris's Ornithology class over that. (they're *Canada* geese, not Canadian. I can deal with it from the general public, a zoo guide should know better) Pedantry over. For now.

Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 7d agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
Working an extra 12 hours, which I think entitles me to buy some stupid shit. So I ordered this for the bathroom 😂
Ordinarily I'd say this is just racist bullshit, but I'm willing to be open minded about it. How about we start with one particular white South African and see how things go after that?

Security managers hate scientists working on classified projects, because they all want so badly to talk about the cool stuff they've discovered / are working on
ScreamingMD@screamingmd.bsky.social · 2w agoThe thing is have you ever gotten a scientist to stop talking about their field of work? A nephrologist to stop talking about sodium? We are nerds who love our speciality so much we will not stop talking. We want you to know and are excited to share.

Yes. It's the "hidden knowledge," "what DOCTORS and SCIENTISTS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!" aspect that attracts so many people
Dru Stevenson@drustevenson.bsky.social · 2w agoI think there's also an element (for the MAHA fan base) of how intoxicating it is to feel like they've become an "instant expert" after reading some stuff on social media, so they know more than thousands of scientists and doctors who have years and years of specialized education and specialization.
The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

PSA: Summer is a tough time for the blood supply as regular donors are traveling and schools (where drives occur) are out. At the same time, accidents requiring massive transfusion are more common. Only 3% of the population donates yet any of us could be in need someday. Donate if you can!
