‘Marshals’ is stupid. Taylor Sheridan has out jumped The Fonz.
Another United flight, another 3 hour delay. United Airlines has become the absolute worst airline in the country.
I would be remiss in not noting that it's been 9 years to the day that we lost this icon of rock music.
Elmo's just mad because he can't build stealth aircraft. He only builds shitty products and a shitty stealth aircraft wouldn't work.
Gerry Doyle@mgerrydoyle.bsky.social · 4d agoelon musk on: stealth aircraft (for the record: everyone involved with low-observable aircraft is acutely aware that they are not "invisible," they just have an rcs so small they can't be effectively detected until they are close enough to have already launched weapons and that is super useful.)
Apparently nobody explained to Lady G's sister what a Special Prosecutor is.
@ollie209.bsky.social I'm watching this video even though I knew, going in, that it would piss me off. I was not wrong. She keeps referring to the trip as a "cruise". It's not a cruise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivk5...

Just think there's someone who has yet to be born that'll be preforming with Madonna at the VMAs someday.
If the next words out of Tapper's mouth weren't, "No, we're really not" then he should be drummed out of society.

Happy Boston Breakout Day to all who celebrate (which I'm pretty sure is only @radiofreetom.bsky.social).
Every time I see this video I have 2 thoughts. Paula White is a lunatic. What’s with the guy walking back and forth across the stage?
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 2w agoMarco Rubio: “Iranians are radical religious lunatics.” Also: Have you met Paula White, the White House faith advisor?
Dear God, he’s completely gorked. It’s just wrong.
Outspoken™️@out5p0ken.bsky.social · 2w agoMitch McConnell spent 3 hours at work today and learned how to make a peace sign.
What a fuckin moron. It’s 3 different things. He has absolutely no clue.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "You call it United Kingdom, Britain, they call it sometimes England. They go back to the old. It's got more names than any other place in the world."
Of all the things Trump doesn't understand, he doesn't understand AI the most.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoBessent: "There's one AI czar, and that's President Trump"
I don't know about you folks, but I'm 'concerned' about this.
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2w agoNYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
Kid3, Esq’s rescue kitty has apparently gone bad.
ICE now says the Doordash delivery driver was shot because he tried to flee. People need to go to jail. Cops aren’t allowed to shoot people for the simple act of running away.
It's worth pointing out that the rapid and extreme escalation in diesel fuel prices are going to add to the increase in gas at the pump.
Word on the street is today's latest ATC debacle was caused by what we in the tech industry refer to as a "backhoe-induced fiber cut".
The attitude exhibited by big, fluffy tuxedo cats is near unmatched.

Nothing to see here folks - just Ukraine not having any cards.
PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakes.bsky.social · 2w agoIsn’t this the same war Trump said he would end within 24 hours?
This will not stop until every ICE agent is glancing up nervously at every rooftop, wondering if their time has come.
Seriously?@trump-tracker.bsky.social · 2w agoIf high grocery and gas prices aren't enough to get you out to vote, remember that ICE is still shooting people.
This administration simply can't help tripping over its own dick, day in and day out.
Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social · 2w agoProtestors are gathering in Austin, Texas, following a shooting by an ICE officer, as the mayor calls for an independent investigation.* *There is nothing wrong with the sound, I cut it half way through when I couldn't take the bananas Fox narrative anymore.
All the comments in this thread and not a single one of them suggests a knowledge of what the system actually does. It looks at weather conditions and projects possible routing alternatives. It's an analytics tool. It's doing the sort of thing AI systems are best aligned to be successful at.
Eoin Higgins@eoinhiggins.bsky.social · 2w agoYou’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?
Some pretty strong messaging from Core Trump Country.
