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

A 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

The billionaire who owns your favorite baseball team? The one who isn't interested in that team being good? They're also not interested in hiring good front office people. Or they're not smart enough to see ability. Either way, it's a skills issue, and a salary cap isn't going to improve that.

Just now seeing this from Tigers president Scott Harris, defending the Skubal deal. If I was doing a deal with him I'd make him think he was really fleecing me too. I'd tell him I had to go and clear it with my boss and everything, because we normally can't do deals this good for just anyone.

Scott Harris defending the Skubal trade: ""There wasn't any need to stretch it any further," Harris said. "The organizations that were involved were extremely aggressive, and they put in what I believe to be their max offers. And then they added to those offers also and got to the point of almost audible pain when they actually produced their best bold offers, and they gave it to us and we pulled the trigger. The notion that we should've waited 24 or 48 hours later and extracted more value -- that's garbage. That's not how these negotiations work."

Dr. Charles Joseph Smith has been one of Chicago's most recognized faces and least-known composers—a paradox that Sooper Records' reissue 'Collected Works and the War of the Martian Ghosts' is now, belatedly, beginning to resolve. A Monument in Plain Sight — Charles Joseph Smith's Chicago:

There's a lot to learn about things like books and music entirely outside of mainstream cultural assumptions if people would just look and listen a little more

yes, the Tiresome Literature Boy could be exhausting at parties when he tried book mogging you while looking down his nose at you over his bottle of Vermont craft beer but you could feel reasonably confident he wasn’t going to unhinge his jaw and attempt to devour you in the name of proteinmaxxing

The political posters who lament the lack of culture posting really need to step away from their keyboards for a while and take a look at the actual culture posters, at the very least it would improve both their mediocre taste and their snotty attitudes
