The cars could, but apparently not so much their drivers.

Barely more sentient than the stupid Waymo, it seems.

Unless they were actually seeing signs of interference, in which case, having everyone shut off their devices is a best-guess method to try to eliminate the cause.

It definitely used to be a thing, and there’s still some small possibility of interference, but with all the WiFi and electronics on airliners today, it seems vanishingly unlikely.
The only interference issue of late has been 5G with radio altimeters, but that’s a network, not on board.

So, @purpal9.bsky.social - maybe London?

Poor Joe. Just couldn’t take seeing it all over again.

I dunno. Watching Colin Powell speak to the UN about WMDs and yellowcake, I felt I was watching the worst sort of soul-level sellout.

Alaska would like a word…

Good.

The bills he signs are largely to our detriment anyway.

It’s not even as good as a ball cap - it’s a cheap plastic snapback trucker cap, almost certainly made in China, and tawdry promotional trinket of his campaign. It’s an ever present and continuous Hatch Act violation of its own, and the height of disrespect.

“Alternate Crop”…

Fox is growing medicinal cannabis now?

If it was my kid in a box, being unloaded at Dover, I’d be the one yelling “take off your fucking hat!”

I love him so much. 🥲

Honestly that’s so much better than hearing it in his own voice. I’m might have to do that from now on, even though my survival technique up to now has been to hear it in Mayor Quimby’s voice.

Like if Amazon bought Versailles.

Bonfire of the Vanities got nothing on this, baby!

“Come Out Ye Black and Tans” flooded my brain the moment the ICE goons started their attacks on us. Wouldn’t go away. Still there. 🇮🇪

“Homeland” was the terrifying harbinger of an overarching security state. It rings the same as the Soviet Rondina (Motherland) or the Nazi “Fatherland”, as grim as the implications are.

When they trotted that out, there was no doubt where we were headed.

And while I like him okay enough, Crockett has PROVEN she’s tough, smart, agile, and capable.

While I’m disappointed in the outcome, I hope he can pull off a W.

No waivers above $1MM AGI - if your family is rich, in you must pitch!

I’m really tired of the “least worst” choice being all we’re left with. Citizens United may have created an absolute Frankenstein monster of the GOP, but it deeply worsened the Democrats as well. The corruption and oligarchical capture is breathtaking.

It doesn’t even matter to what this is referring. It’s just invariably true and inviolable, like gravity.

We run around like children, arms outspread, aching to fly, hoping to find that one instance where it doesn’t apply, but our feet remain planted in its truth.

I diverted in that neighborhood years ago. Landed in Termez, Uzbekistan. My first call was to my security coordinator back in Denver. His take was sanguine - “Well, you’re only 15 miles from the Afghan border, but the Intercontinental Hotel there is very good…”

Oh, fear not - she’s still there all the way to the bunker scene.

I’m voting for that, except the one who cleans out airplane toilets, because they’re above your head and sometimes you get doused with the “blue juice” 🤢 when the hose doesn’t connect properly.

I’d take the o-rings out of that hose before her every shift.

Spot-on, really. No notes.

What a tool. Like he’s going to man a Patriot battery or something? How, precisely, does he envision himself “defending” Dubai from missiles and drones? Sitting in a hotel room, drinking champagne, and tweeting dumbass memes?

Not the hero we need, but the one we deserve?
