Discrimination against Nazi viewpoints is good, actually.

We need to not only discriminate against anti-democracy viewpoints, actually, but to burn them with fire.

Fascism always need an enemy. That's why they keep turning allies into enemies until there's just one guy in a bunker under Berlin shooting himself in the head.

Tristan da Cunha: The busiest place you’ve never seen Photographer Julia Gunther and writer-filmmaker Nick Schönfeld chronicle the rhythms of daily life on Tristan da Cunha, the world’s most remote inhabited island.

Loved this NPR story about life on the world's remotest inhabited island.

Seems like a nice alternative...

America needs this, too.

A Manned NASA Rocket Is Headed to the Moon. There Are Questions on Its Safety. Artemis II is scheduled to blast off this week, but a former astronaut and heat-shield expert has major concerns.

As NASA counts down to its first manned Moon mission in a half century, one man is waging a lonely online campaign to warn that the astronauts' lives are in danger.

His name is Charles Camarda, and he's faced that danger himself.

At the time that the movie was made, no. I think that viewed today that case that she's making -- that he shows borderline characteristics -- is plausible enough that the joke lands

I think the film was trying rather artfully to make the case that his character had affinity's with Hoffman's. Though "Rain Man" has the disability, it's the Cruise character that undergoes the healing arc to find human connection.

By the standards of the day, the Tom Cruise character wasn't autistic; at the time the term referred to rare and severely impaired who were sometimes "idiot savants" w abilities like Raymond's amazing card-counting skill. Only later came "spectrum" & the concept of widespread mild impairment.

Well, wherever you work, you’re full of shit

You're lying. There are numerous videos online of people walking around in the E/E bay giving tours of the space. It's a work area, that's what it's for. You're trolling right now.

The reason the hatch is unlocked in case someone needs to go down there, to pull a circuit breaker or whatever. The dangers you're summoning are completely fictitious.

"No one can just pull the carpet." Yes, anyone can pull the carpet, as long as no one is in the galley. Not hard. "And climb down the narrow ladder." Right, if you weigh 400 lbs this would be hard. "Anyone who tried that on the ground knows what I mean." No one knows what you mean.

You're trying to change the definition of what we're talking about. The OP specified "air traffic controllers," and was wrong.

There's plenty of real things to despite Trump and his minions for, you don't have pile on fictional things as well. It doesn't help the cause.

F.A.A. Plans to Hire 8,900 Air Traffic Controllers but Still Expects Shortages

The OP said that the Trump administration fired air traffic controllers, and that just didn't happen. They've been trying to boost numbers, but it's very challenging.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

It's not enough to Google the story, you have to read it. "The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance," not air traffic controllers. The administration, which sucks, has been ramping up the hiring of controllers.

Air traffic controllers and why there aren’t enough of them | Brookings Dorothy Robyn details how shutdowns, hiring shortfalls, and training limits have deepened the FAA’s controller shortage.

Your snark is cute, but you're misinformed. The firings referred to in the piece you link weren't air traffic controllers. Under Trump the FAA has been ramping up the hiring of controllers. www.brookings.edu/articles/air...

I'm no fan of this administration, but it simply isn't the case that they fired air traffic controllers.

I would treat anything sourced off of Claude as a starting point to begin sourcing information, not as a source in itself. But the claims about the transponder switch being manually turned have reached such a saturation point that I feel like I have to look into it.

By no means do you have to hand it to him, but...

At least he has the cojones to say what he thinks.

The majority in the US who aren't MAGA should say the same: the greatest enemy America has is Trump & those who enable him.

We're in a death match between democracy & autocracy. Let's act like it.

Yes, totally.

How To Cyberjack a 777 (Imagining the Impossible, part 3) YouTube video by Jeff Wise

For 12 years, investigators have been convinced that MH370 could only have been hijacked by its own captain, because the only place you can fly a plane from is the cockpit.

In today's episode, I show that that's false.

The case needs to be rethought from the ground up.

Mueller was one of many who had the power to stop the collapse of democracy & the rule of law but decided to hope that someone one else would step up instead. And no one did.
