I talk a lot about aviation and law. Firm believer in democracy. Not ready to live in a kakistocracy. Southern California based. Too many dogs and a loving spouse.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.

The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Every day I watched workers climb bamboo scaffolding to work on the high rises they were building around us. I wondered if this might be part of the problem.

In the "sad news" category, but glad for Specter.
Phew, glad I got it last night.
It appears the #Lego Ro Laren Shuttlepod bonus gift is now fully sold out and unlikely to return to stock, as it was a "while supplies last" item.

The #StarTrek Enterprise-D set is available on backorder with expected shipping in February.

I was in my teens and 20s and my friends were dropping like flies. I remember, even if many do not, and I love Matthew for all of the boys I loved who did not make it.
Throughout my 20s, I wore an AIDS awareness red ribbon pretty much everyday.
My friends were dying. It’s what we did.
AIDS is not over.
630,000 people died of it last year.
1 December is #WorldAIDSDay.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

If you are queer, transgendered, gay, lesbian and you need a parent to love you during the holidays in place of the one(s) that may have rejected you, then DM me. I'm your new granny.
New: If you're queer, you know that the holidays can be rough. Maybe you have a bad relationship with your family and holidays carry painful memories. I spoke to LGBTQ+ Texans across the state about how they find community this time of year: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

POS attacked a woman. Such a manly guy, this Sergeant Frink.
Racist Marine Sergeant retains his position after assaulting two female hotel employees after they told him there were no available rooms. The first woman he assaulted was under 5ft tall; the other one took no shit and knocked him out with a lamp, so kudos to her.

We lived on the 10th floor of a 20-story building when we lived in Hong Kong. I pray for everyone.
The death toll from the fire in Hong Kong has risen to 36, and 279 more are missing.

In a battle for my soul between the Pope and Peter Thiel, I know who I'm going with. And I'm Jewish.
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

I'm not moving to Ohio, no matter what (sorry Ohio ... love Akron but I live in California let's get serious), but if I did, the only reason would be to live in NE Ohio RSD's service area. Even if you aren't a wastewater nerd like me, their account is worth the follow.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Ukraine relations get even more chaotic. Two factions - Kushner/Witkoff and Vance/Driscoll - are both freelancing to set US policy: cutting out the State Dept, pushing Ukraine to surrender, then leaking to press to claim they are official. Why? Putin is desperate and has called in his assets. A 🧵 1/

Another Russian asset within the White House. I would go so far as to call him a Russian agent because clearly he puts Russia first.

Not wearing heels, stockings and a dress to fly. Really hard to wear a kneeboard and messes with the rudder.
A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.
