Not that I use Facebook all that much, but it's putting garbage like this high up in my feed much more often lately.

“2025 is on pace for fewer fatal aviation accidents compared to the last several years, despite the I'll-just-drive vibes lately.” via @alexjamesfitz.com www.axios.com/2025/02/21/i...

“We’re trained to respond to medical emergencies, to fight fires, to respond to a decompression… major severe turbulence — all kinds of emergencies. That is really the reason that we’re there.” Listen to cabin crew, it could save your life. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social @nataliecompton.bsky.social

Alright, NHL: Forget the whole "four nations" concept, and just do an annual USA-CAN bragging rights game.

Good context: There have been 13 fatal aviation accidents so far in 2025, per NTSB. There were 31 by about this time in 2024, and 28 in 2023. This is only a measure of incidents, not fatalities — but good to keep in mind when it seems like the planes are falling from the sky.

Two things that are bringing me great delight these days: - a 2019 video game, UNTITLED GOOSE GAME. You play as a goose and cause gentle mayhem -- like stealing a farmer's lunch. - WHOLESOME, a Patreon-only podcast, where friends tell each other about things they like. patreon.com/wholesome_pod
