I never use to use strips til I got here. Now they bring me comfort. Keep me organized. Keep me from repeating myself.

Sad to see CT3 go.

Bonuses for academy grads and new hires. Bonuses for those eligible to retire. Fuck all for the bulk of us in the middle.

They’re worried about retaining controllers. They’re forgetting that controllers can and will quit before they hit eligibility! We all have our limits!

We need to ban stock trading for members of Congress.

Sun dog.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

So yeah, even after a bunch of accidents that highlighted FAA staffing shortages they still went ahead and fired FAA staff. They don't know what they are doing.

three fights and we're not 10 seconds into the USA-Canada 4 Nations Face-Off game this is the most lit thing i've ever seen

Toronto and Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

I’m going in March.

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.

Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.
