(It’s very likely sloppy language, further showing how this man should not be in charge of anything more complicated than a little league team. But what if he didn’t? What if they are going beyond temporary training? This needs so much clarification.)

$12 billion deal may bring hundreds of Qatar, US Air Force members to Idaho base BOISE – The U.S. Air Force may soon bring 170 members of Qatar’s air force to live on the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. They would be coming to learn to fly the newest model of the F-15 fight...

The training of international pilots has been planned for a while. Although you bring up a good point here … will it be more than training and a little extra temporary housing, or did Hegseth just misspeak? www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

But you knew about the plans for it, yes? It looks like the training agreement was a thing in place already. www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

I’ve been trying to get this exact info out here. Hegseth is either using sloppy language or has brokered some kind of additional deal. www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

It’s not an airbase. It’s a training facility, and they may add extra housing if the pilots want to bring g family during their temporary stay. The framing of this based on Hegseth’s misspeaking… www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

?? I don’t understand the comment.

Just a heads up - this training facility plan had been in the works already. So unless this is a new deal, the statement is a misdirection. And it’s still our facility, unless Hegseth has actually ceded property in Idaho with this new contract. www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

This is apparently an ongoing project. www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

This just … I have no words.

Ok I do have words. Projects like this keep America strong. Lower energy prices, less reliance on foreign oil and domestic fracking, generally a good idea. This administration is destroying it from within.

Oh wow.

I am living this right now.

I’m seeing a dance flash mob in Portland’s future.

Would love to know what the vote breakdown was.

@jennyja.bsky.social Wondering if Southwest knows of more staffing problems at Burbank.

Southwest is offering $$ to people who switch their flights from Saturday afternoon to Monday.

Southwest is offering cash for people flying out of Burbank on Saturday afternoon to change their flight to Monday.

Curious.

As a teen I thought I wanted to go to an Ivy League, that there was something special there.

Glad I didn’t get in, because their special-ness is kind of repugnant. (Yea for land-grant state schools!)

Update: they changed it real quick as this post went viral. Then they were accused of a word-salad lede. I missed it but still relish in calling out the short-term unconscious bias.

I just can’t get over how a headline and summary about a new bishop never included her name.

Good summary article about the pickle the military brass is in-as well as anyone serving, really. (Understatement of the century.)

And @radiofreetom.bsky.social appropriately called SMiller’s actions fascistic! Maybe now he can unblock all those folks a week ago involved in the vocabulary skirmish?

When they talk about that older couple, they mean those nice folks with the diner around the corner that got hit during COVID but survived; they mean the 60 year olds with one taking care of their grandkids and the other teaches at a private school; they mean the heart of some communities.

Whoa - a helicopter crash lands on a busy section of freeway in Sacramento at 7pm (Hw 50 at Stockton Blvd). The three on board are alive and no one on the ground was hurt. Medical copter from north state returning after dropping off a patient at UC Davis Med Center.

Yep - immediately for our communities where Spanish and English are spoken. It’s gut-wrenching.

I think of Argentina, Chile and Brazil as I read.

How quickly characters go back to trying to live their normal lives is kind of amazing … and utterly human, I’m realizing.

This is an interesting perspective. I think the thing that will make a difference will be do people feel safe to vote for who they want to vote for? (Sides towards blue) Or do people feel unsafe going to vote (sides towards red).

I’m in the library and arts world, so feels familiar … but you’re obviously waaaay closer here.

Yes. I read “Not even MAGA believes Miller” w/o thinking of context of main point - that the media has gone bug nuts, the amount of work they are doing trying to make the insane lies seem plausible.

The frog is awesome. I’m hoping for a dance flash mob next, maybe zombie Thriller.

The dictionary is being funny again.

I hope you’re right, because this is some wild fantasy crazy here.

Holy crap, this is such insane lies. Like bug-nuts crazy lies. Do people really believe this stuff?
