My hot take for the day. Switched outlets, hard no. In all seriousness who freaking uses them? Is it that difficult to get up and flick the switch on the light as opposed to go across the room and flip the wall switch.

Also theirs is differences when it comes to the chocolate being used. Cocoa Butter percentages, sugar, and such. I am not talking about the cheaping of the American product but the higher use of oils and such. There is a regionalized taste differences in products.

IE the Mars bar (which I don't think is sold in the US anymore) the European version is pretty much a Milky Way or 3 Musketeer like. The US version was more like a Snickers.

Every candy in the US that has a cousin in Europe is generally different, and the differences run from ingredient to an entirely different product.

If any democrat votes to approve funding for ICE or wars, we must do everything we can to get them voted out.

Federal Judge Slams DOJ’s Attempt to Seize Trans Youth Medical Records from UPMC A federal judge in Pittsburgh just handed the U.S. Department of Justice a very public, very pointed rejection, and the language she used? Not subtle. Chief U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon ruled Monday that the DOJ cannot force UPMC to hand over records, even anonymized ones, for minor patients who received gender-affirming care at UPMC. And in her four-page order, she didn’t mince words.

A federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked the DOJ from forcing UPMC to hand over records of trans youth who received gender-affirming care. The ruling called the government’s stance “callous” and warned of overreach.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

This isn’t just erasure of African American history, it’s abject lies about white American history

Is today some sort of weird holiday that I was not aware of. I mean Presidents day snuck up on me.

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Otherwise made the left at St George. Was hoping we’d follow the 15 down for the strip parallel landing. Instead we came in from the east over Henderson.

Zion National Park on January 14, 2026

So I suspect we came in north of Grand Canyon. And being I was on the opposite side of the plane, didn’t see it, but did see the unmistakable Zion National Park in the distance. Looks better in person.

At some point I did spy a marina. So I figured we were over Lake Powell near either Page, AZ or Bullfrog, UT (it was probably one of the ones at Wahweap, tbh)

White Canyon of the Colorado River with Mt Hillers, Cass Creek Peak, and Mt Pernell to the left

At this point i sort of lost track what I was looking at. But was certain this was the Colorado River. This is looking into White Canyon, just to the south of Canyonlands. The snow caps to the left are Mt Hillers, Cass Creek Peak, and Mt Pernell

Crazy how the landscape abruptly changes. Go from the snow caps and green of the pines of the Rockies. To the deep reds of the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.

The snow capped Rockies. Around the Telluride / Silverton, Colorado area.

Pikes Peak, January 14, 2026

The southern edge of South Park valley just below the wing.

Pikes Peak. But I wasn’t certain at first as Colorado Springs had enough of cloud over to obscure at Air Force Academy. But then I spied the South Park valley.

A different flight passing underneath my flight.

A plane below us that crossed underneath. I think it’s another American plane, many headed to Phoenix?

Above the Mississippi River, January 26 2026

Above the Missouri River, January 26 2026

Things cleared up as we got closer to the Midwest. Enough to id the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers respectively, crossed both to the north of Saint Louis and Kansas City respectively. It was still a bit hazy.

Forgot that I took a bunch of photos from the window seat on the trip out west. I do it to sort of quiz myself on can I identify this settlement or feature. Don’t always get it right. Initially is was very cloudy. But though the clouds were giving interesting shapes.

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

Signed ticket stub, framed - front

Signed ticket stub, framed - rear

Also got my ticket stub from January framed up, mainly to protect the signature.

Caught my first Waymo in the wild today. Not sure if it was autonomous or humans driven. Was on O’Donnell coming out of the Canton going up the ramp to 95 north.

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”
