Air traffic controller at The World’s Busiest.™️ Rated “intellectually deficient” since 2025! Not allowed to swear on frequency, so I’ll have to do it here. Looking forward to watching leopards eat faces. He/him. Ally. Union proud. 🥄

😫 tired + 😣 persevering =

BREAKING: Despite Elon Musk's support, far right AFD party set to come in second place in German elections and will likely be shut out of government in a major loss for the far-right. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Yes, I did get the email. I did as I've been taught (repeatedly) and reported it as phishing. I also submitted a safety report to ATSAP for the distraction it is and the stress it's causing.

I say again: Gargle my balls.

Updating Pi-Hole to v6 broke everything on my home network. Yay.

Gargle my balls.

Definitely not perfect, but the closest thing I’ve been to consistent in years. 🙃

Thank you Delta for setting the record straight. The rumours circulating on social media are awful.

This severance edit is why they wanted to ban tiktok 🤣🤣🤣

Seems like a good day to use the Mutuals tab.

NEW, from @telliotter.bsky.social and me: SpaceX engineers have already been onboarded at FAA - an agency that directly regulates them www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

awwwww shit y'all, the flight attendants have entered the chat 🤘🤘🤘

In other news, my friend 3D printed a replacement box for Azul Mini. The original cardboard box started coming apart almost immediately. The lid of the new box also doubles as the "factory displays" for the game instead of the clear plastic insert. I'm really happy with it! #boardgames #3dprinting3

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.

I swear, I saw this back in the '90s when VW made the Harlequin Golf.

What the fuck kind of response is this?

Not gonna lie. The Blitzkrieg of Bullshit is getting to me. I hate that it's working as intended. Waiting for the next stupid thing of the day to happen is exhausting.

Shut up and take my money.

A brief review: 1. Count seats to 2 nearest exits. 2. Have your phone in a coat pocket on your person so you don’t think twice about grabbing anything. 3. Have your shoes on for TO & ldg FFS. 4. Listen to the FAs & PAs. People survived bc the CRJ is a tough MF & they listened to the crew. #DA4819

Aviation’s first responders save lives. Listen to your Flight Attendants.

From one of the largest unions in the FAA on firing of probationary employees. This group represents Tech Ops, Aircraft Certification, Aviation Safety Specialists, etc. Basically, without these folks the aviation industry & ATC will not function.

I'm as concerned about firings/changes at FAA as the next pilot, but let's be clear: Those things don't cause a plane to wind up on its backside in Canada.

holodeck games where you punch nazis

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

So wait…why is DOGE touring the Command Center on a Federal holiday? 🤨

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

And there it is.

We hung up a large Pride flag at the library last week, and some little mini-flags. Had one of our staff approach me when I was leaving yesterday and thank me for putting them up, said that it meant a lot. Good way to end my work week.
