Context: ATC continues reduced number of take offs/ landings per hour, resulting in delays. Also don’t have data to back this up, but VIP helicopter movements (like Marine One) seem to result in more delays than they used to. Runway 15/33 is back open though. I will be flying Dulles more for a bit.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

when the crowd cheers for the Nazi salute, what you have is a crowd full of Nazis

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

It’s kind of extraordinary that he has no handlers of any kind who can prevent him from stumbling on stage like Ziggy Stardust.

Hard to argue with him

I thought people were making this up, but

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

[criticism redacted upon the demand of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia]

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

History is watching

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

Elon musing about prosecuting schiff isn’t mere politics, it’s a lot more than that. I wish Schiff would explain a little bit more of what a norms crusher this is.

Never give up. Never surrender. #СлаваУкраїні #SlavaUkraini

It's genuinely wild that people think an American failstate is more likely than a realignment

All those people raising their right hand...they're just waving to their supporters right? Right....? Right ..........????? 😬😱😨

Reminder: When you look at the Weather Channel App and it talks about Warnings, Watches, Advisories, Outlooks active in your area. Those are all done by @NOAA @NWS the National Weather Service. The Weather Channel does NONE of that stuff. Carry on...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

There are people under general anesthesia right now who aren't this loaded up with controlled substances

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

It never ends with these people pushing Russian fakes.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Another "deep state" operative found by DOGE. Wait...no...just a dedicated disabled veteran. www.nevadaappeal.com/news/2025/fe...

This is why sending people to Auschwitz/Holocaust museums when they are antisemitic shit bags doesn't work. It's all a joke to them.

We need you now more than ever, don’t leave us alone, we need you💙💛

I really hate the "put up with the grime, it's a city" mindset, but I hate this sort of declinism more. A country that gives up on public transit bc it's scary, and crams more people into cars, is a failure.

Wow, finally happened: The average wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs has now broken $8, per USDA.

🇰🇵 Budanov: "Our officers interrogated captured North Koreans. They complemented my picture of what autocracy and totalitarianism are, perhaps in their most terrible manifestation. These are misanthropic approaches that create not even obedient people, but biorobots."

👏👏💪💪

im sorry but video games just aren’t profitable….. call of duty only made ceo doug duty 20000000 dollars this year so you can see why we have to fire everybody

We may not have kings but we do have a mighty khan

Just amazing racial politics here - if the Second Black Mayor of New York City were removed from office, his replacement would be the Third Black Mayor of New York City.

This seems less than ideal

Tell this guy 10 years ago that he’s gonna be in a standoff against 2 psychopaths with nukes

It's hard to say that it's a shock we ended up here when even pre-Trump right-wing media looked like this
