Fuel surge threatens Spirit Airlines bankruptcy exit, raises liquidation risk Spirit Airlines' bankruptcy exit plan is ​under renewed pressure after a sharp rise in jet fuel prices undermined key assumptions behind its restructuring.

Yet another side effect of a war we didn’t have to fight making our lives a little bit worse.

In addition to $40 tickets, Spirit’s low prices keep the economy tickets of major airlines like American Airlines lower, too.

I only use Facebook for marketplace and occasionally neighborhood groups. Logged in today to update a listing and somehow my algorithm is tuned into nothing but Matt Walsh and Artemis II truthers. Make it stop.

More AI slop. Artemis II sent some of the most incredible photos seen by humans and they’re posting garbage.

1. Artemis II got nowhere this close to the moon.

2. The Orientale Basin is fascinating! And looks nothing like this. You can read about it on NASA.gov

I’m a sucker for cultural histories hidden behind the objects we encounter day to day and the words we use to describe them.

This thread tells the really neat history of chino pants!

It’s so good that JD Vance was able to introduce Pope Leo to Just War Theory. Now just wait until the Supreme Pontiff hears about St Augustine! It’ll be huge.

OUP tells me I should share this. And publicise my book. So here it goes. Please read my book. It has a pretty cover. It's cheap (for an academic book) and you can have this discount! Also please review it, somewhere fancy if possible!

Indeed. Even then, strange way to get attention when (as you note) they could just post any of the hundreds of photos NASA has made publicly available.

It’s not. There are a few tells, but the biggest ones are in the AI image the parachutes are fully expanded at splashdown and the lines attaching the parachute are shorter (which make the capsule look larger in relation to them). Here are a few authentic images from NASA.gov for comparison.

Melania is a bad person. We could write a book about all the reasons why without insulting her accent or saying she can’t speak English. I’ve seen a dozen takes like that today and it makes you sound like MAGA.

I love looking at these photos. They make it clear how vibrant the moon really is. Not just some static rock, but a vast history with each texture that’s still be written today. These photos make that salient.

I get frustration with American people

People forget USA’s massive size: Seattle to Miami is further than Reykjavík to Istanbul

Then as a whole we are starting fresh.
For 45 years, ways for average people to mobilize (unions) have been broken

When combined…

This is an explanation, not an excuse

Go to Capital. Stand on steps, demand that Mike Johnson brings the house back in session. Mike Johnson isn’t reading Bluesky… yelling at him to do the right thing here is useless and performative. I’m not in congress, but almost anything is better than vibe posting.

I love that democratic congress members—the body that could end this all today—are just vibe posting into the void.

Not to sound cynical but I don’t think Speaker Johnson is reading Bluesky posts.
