A flight attendant is about to hand you a snack when suddenly she floats up to the ceiling. You're in freefall -- & pretty sure you're about to die. The plane pulls out of the dive. And for weeks, investigators are stumped as to what happened & why. My latest for @nymag.com
New York Magazine@nymag.com · 2d agoWhy would a perfectly good plane suddenly go rogue? The answer was disturbing enough to ground 6,000 aircraft, reports Jeff Wise.

Trump was a kindergarden-level civics test the American electorate failed miserably, and the rest of the world now quite rightly regards us collectively as a toddler stumbling around with a Glock rather than an adult one can deal reasonably with.
Fascinating story from @jeffwise.bsky.social about a tragic crash a few months ago in New Mexico. It should be understood as a warning www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

The Trash Theory of American Politics: There is a significant electoral constituency for which Trump’s stupidity, vulgarity, and racism are big assets, because if a guy like that can be president, you too have permission. The irrational hatred of Fauci is basically the flip side of this.
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 7d agoAside from its many other problems, the idea Fauci was America's power-abusing covid dictator is somewhat complicated by the fact that he never had the power to do the things they're mad about. His recommendations bound nobody and were not particularly rigorously followed by the actual policymakers.
I've talked to subject-matter experts from around the world to understand the evidence that will let us solve MH370. I've also set forth some ideas that some people disagree with vehemently. Today, the roles are reversed & I'm the one in the interviewee chair www.deepdivemh370.com/p/in-the-fir...
It's hard to believe that 12 years after MH370 disappeared, it could be possible to uncover a trove of data from that fatal night. In today's episode I talk with Dr Jean-Yves Royer, who explains why the data remained hidden, & we discuss what it means for finding the plane youtu.be/3AM3dN40pP4

One of the advantages of covering a particular aviation mystery obsessively is that sometimes people come to you with leads to astonishing information. In this case, a podcast viewer led me to hydrophone data that had been lying hidden for a decade. www.popularmechanics.com/flight/airli...

Looks like they were turning back when something very bad happened. Reported GPS altitude went from 35,000 feet to 1000 feet almost instantly. I don't recall ever seeing anything like that kind of descent, I wonder if the data is accurate.

The way that the US responds to the current period of lawlessness will determine whether the next Trump who comes along thinks, "Might as well" or thinks: "Damn well better not."
If you say "the missing plane," most people will assume you mean MH370, the Malaysian airliner that vanished in 2014. But there's another jet that disappeared in the modern era: a Peruvian 727 that vanished in 1990 w 16 people aboard. I discuss w Ed Dentsel www.deepdivemh370.com/p/the-other-...

MH370 wasn't the only modern jet to disappear over the open ocean, never to be found

If this is what it seems to be (a list of influential people who belong to a secret society of fascists) it's like that scene in "They Live" when Roddy Piper puts on the sunglasses.

In the past I've been quite critical of other people's claims about MH370. Now the shoe's on the other foot. A popular YouTuber called Aviation Files has published a detailed critique of my work. And it goes deep. Here's my response: www.deepdivemh370.com/p/i-respond-...

For my latest episode of "Finding MH370" I talked with former CIA officer Sean Wiswesser, who points out that Russians have a different of conspiracy from those of us in the West. Check out his book, "Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin's Secret War"
"Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."
Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social · 3mo agoTrump and his supporters continue to push re-runs of their greatest hits from the 2020 Big Lie. "Ballot drops" are a normal part of the counting process. They only look suspicious b/c people want to believe they are... and everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.
Discrimination against Nazi viewpoints is good, actually. We need to not only discriminate against anti-democracy viewpoints, actually, but to burn them with fire.
Fascism always need an enemy. That's why they keep turning allies into enemies until there's just one guy in a bunker under Berlin shooting himself in the head.
