I just watched a couple. Holy shit. A bunch of people went into the water. Lucky no one died or was seriously injured.


It also impacted craft trying to land, at least in the afternoon they were being told to circle but I’m not sure how long that lasted.
The worst part of this roller coaster is that it turns out the US Transportation Secretary is a former Fox “News” host

Sean Duffy, the current secretary of transportation, had co-hosted FOX Business program The Bottom Line before Trump tapped him to join the administration, and his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, also a former co-host of Hegseth’s, continues to host Fox & Friends Weekend.


It appears that the US transportation secretary is a former Fox News host. I’m not saying that he’s directly to blame but I’m noticing a trend of former Fox News hosts being put in charge of Federal Agencies that then do terribly.


My money’s on incompetence rather than sabotage although it could be incompetence that made sabotage possible
The main thing I’ve learned today is that the US Transportation Secretary is a former Fox News host
That a radar system can even be nation wide sounds like a design flaw. Like, you’d expect at least each airport should be able to access the local radar set.
See, should have swarmed Area 51 in a naruto run after all


That’s a bizarre theory, I can’t imagine two ideologies being more dramatically different than anarchy and monarchy
I wish the brown note was real
I wish I had an instrument that played the brown note
I wish I was immune to the brown note


Not just tankie but in denial tankie


It’s called Campism. They take the side of anyone opposing the US even if those countries are objectively shit. It’d be one thing if they had a “the enemy of my enemy” attitude but they go full apologist instead. Russia has a Far Right nationalist government run by a dictator with a Far Right Ultra Nationalist powerbase but people will pretend they are the spitting image of Leftism in a way that even the USSR was not.


There’s alot of potential for the US to betray NATO by sharing intelligence and Troop positions/movements with Russia


“The Ukraine” is just a linguistic quirk of English because we say “The US” and “The UK” and “The UAE” and “The USSR”. If Ukraine started with any other letters than “Uk” it never would have been a thing. People injecting a bunch of meaning into it ala “that implies Ukraine is just a region not a country” are just wrong.


I mean, even Russian meddling aside the Left has always been rife with Campism and MLs in denial about the USSR. Putin’s powerbase is Far Right Ultra Nationalists and some communists still support Russia because “the communist party is still popular there”.


I like moving towards a stateless classless future but I’m not so naive as to deny that Russia is actively pursuing Nationalist conquest and directly opposed to a stateless classless future
Cue the Road Warrior intro
their leaders talked and talked and talked
but nothing could stem the avalanche
their world crumbled
