Hi.
I’m a father of two, software engineer (BSEE, MSCS), private pilot (ASEL, IR, AGI, IGI), and author. I’m also coordinator of the IMC Club Nashua chapter and a former IETF regular.
I’m here because Twitter has become less inviting than the flaming dumpster floating by on route 51.

Honored to join the MA High School Dems Summit this weekend. Thank you for leading the way. The fight ahead won’t be easy, but together, we will win.

I just accidentally dropped a small plastic lid on the floor and it landed interior side up. I feel like I should have good luck all day. Not quite like Dick York in the “A Penny For Your Thoughts” Twilight Zone episode, but close.

Been reading this lately. Definitely a good read for CFIs and PPL applicants.
Pilot Workshops does really good in general so was not shocked they are still doing well with this ACS breakdown.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Last night, I was proud to once again cast my vote for @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution. Going to war without consulting the people is what monarchies and dictatorships do. Strong democracies must be willing to debate these issues in the light of day.

All I ask is that you don’t act like an ass in the replies. That’s too much for some.
I get the impulse, but it’s not really possible. First of all, many of those are either contract towers or untowered airports. Second, it takes a long time to train and qualify a controller for a new position. You can’t just “move” them. They’ll be trainees at the new site.

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

A must-read for anyone concerned with proper civilian control and oversight of the military. This piece is well written and dead accurate.

Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs
Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
