This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Ok, NOW the US is doing war crimes.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

@airlineflyer.net I just confirmed and CLT uses them in tbe cab but not the radar room.

I think a guy I know at CLT said they have them? But that was a while back. Also he only works the radar areas of the up-down, not anything up in the actual cab.

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

"why are you against progress" I yell confidently as my sloppily-implemented algorithms prematurely murder your grandma

maybe we can talk about this once it’s the common dem position to affirm the humanity and rights of trans people at least as directly as he has

Jesus Christ these people are monsters.

President’s Day is a good reminder that the best thing we could do with the office is abolish it.

I just keep thinking about all those years - centuries! - in which women have been barred from power because we are too emotional.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Yeah, that’s how you handle the complexity of aviation regulation - you aim way down low for “good enough”.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

There are half a dozen things about this that should each trigger an immediate international response as well as the 25th Amendment

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

People aren’t talking enough about how the “agents” are intentionally giving mixed directions to people. Go! Get out of the car! Keep moving! I said out of the car! They’re intentionally confusing them so someone can claim they’re not following orders (because they can’t follow conflicting ones) /1

/2 I assumed ”ICE took his phone and sold it” was a typo or something.

Nah bro. Thug THIEF scum.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

i know this isn't exactly mindblowing but i'm fucking mad that it's easier to become an ice agent than to get a us visa slate.com/news-and-pol...

Remember who you are, American.

Part of a nation that proudly went to war against the kind of fascists who embrace stupid white supremacist slogans like "one homeland, one people, one heritage"

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

I know airline economics isn't really your milleu, but I wonder how different the trip cost of a 50-seat Saab really is versus a more modern 70-seat ATR (based on the props in the photo I'm just assuming they have the -600 model). Maybe utilization and capital costs of newer a/c would outweigh that.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

This is absolutely fucking bananas the way that these people are *so close* to getting it but still manage to miss it by a fucking mile.

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."
