this is absolutely wild.
Ahmedabad police say there is at least one survivor from flight - media reports - Hannah Ellis-Petersen Ahmedabad police have said there was at least one survivor from the flight. According to media reports, the sole survivor of the crash was 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British-Indian, who lives in London and was in Ahmedabad visiting family. He said he had lived in London for the past 20 years and had travelled to India with his brother who was also on the plane “Thirty seconds after take off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” said Ramesh, speaking to the Hindustan Times. He said he “impact injuries”, including bruising on his chest, eyes and feet but was otherwise lucid and conscious. Ramesh, who still had his boarding pass, told Hindustan Times: When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital. Earlier, Ahmedabad police commissioner Gyanendra Singh Malik told the Associated Press (AP) that there appeared to be no survivors from the plane crash.

not the point, which i 1000% agree with, but this section shows how devastatingly ill-equipped these soldiers are to participate in any of this in the off chance that any of them even want to.
The LA operations are also sparking safety concerns because of complications inherent in pairing military and domestic police officers, advocates say, since they are trained very differently and use different vocabulary to handle emergency situations. In one infamous episode during the 1992 Los Angeles riots - the last time the military were called out to restore order in southern California - a police officer on patrol turned to his marines counterparts and said "cover me", meaning be ready with your weapon to make sure I stay safe. To the marines, though, "cover me" meant open fire immediately, which they did, unloading more than 200 M16 rounds into a house where the police had a tip about a possible domestic abuser. By sheer luck, nobody was hurt.

andrew cuomo is an incompetent, vindictive sex pest whose so-called achievements as governor were cosmetic, flawed, and self-serving. he regrets none of his many errors + transgressions, a number of which harmed + killed people, and he’s lived in the city for five minutes. new york, don’t rank him.
that Cuomo rarely even read policy memos, agreed. Cuomo and his senior staff were obsessed, said several sources, with the annual "State of the State" book, which showcased task forces, pilot programs, and funding commitments, some of which were only tenuously rooted in reality. "The whole endeavor seemed to be about size," said one person who worked on it. "Like if you have a big book, it shows you're going to do a lot of things." She said that the notion that "governing was about solving problems and making people's lives better was not what drove people inside that building ... but when you objected to the shoddiness of a job or refused to do something unethical, it was because you couldn't hang. I was like, Fuck you. It's not that I can't hang. It's that you all are terrible people." NEW YORK - Andrew Cuomo is pitching himself as the only New York City mayoral candidate competent enough to manage a sprawling bureaucracy. A series of campaign trail missteps, on top of serious questions about his handling of Covid and infrastructure projects, threaten to undermine his case. In recent weeks, the frontrunner in the Democratic primary botched paperwork that cost him millions of dollars in public matching funds, misspelled the names of two labor leaders in a press release about their endorsements of Cuomo and issued a housing plan with typos that critics also seized on for its ChatGPT-fueled research. The former governor's team blamed those mistakes on voice technology used by a staffer who is missing an arm. Cuomo raided the MTA's coffers over and over again in his time as governor: • In 2011, he teamed up with suburban Republicans to cut regional hundreds of millions of dollars in payroll taxes slated for the MTA - promising to replace the money with state funds that ultimately totaled less than what the tax should have raised. • In 2013 and 2014, he took a combined $70 million from the MTA operating budget to cover the state's agreed-upon portion of the authority's debt. In 2014 he also lowered tolls on the MTA-run Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge as a handout to Staten Island drivers. • In 2015, he took another $121.5 million from transit operations - this time to pay for capital projects, which are supposed to be funded by an entirely separate budget. Cuomo's Jedi Mind Trick approach to public narrative undergirds his ongoing feud with New York's WFP. The minor party - which is allowed to cross-endorse candidates, creating pressure from the left without having to run spoilers - has been critical of Cuomo since his first term, when, after running as a progressive, he enacted corporate-friendly economic policy, obstructed Mayor de Blasio's attempt to tax the city's wealthiest residents, capped property taxes at 2 percent, and, many of his critics alleged, tacitly allied with state Republicans and the Democratic Independent Conference (IDC), a cabal of conservative Democrats, to keep the State Legislature out of Democratic control. It was an arrangement that - along with the tax caps that kept shrinking the state's budget - permitted Cuomo to blame the stagnation of progressive initiatives on a snarled Legislature. (Cuomo has long denied that he supported either Republican or IDC control of the Legislature).

every single paragraph more disqualifying than the last.
For much of his reign, Cuomo presided over a divided government thanks to a group of renegade Democrats, the Independent Democratic Conference, who caucused with Republicans in the state Senate. Cuomo frequently used this coalition as evidence of his own political prowess-he could make divided government work, as few could!—but it was all a sham. As The New Republic reported in 2017, Cuomo himself perpetuated that divided government by supporting the creation of the IDC in 2011. His reasoning was as simple as it was malevolent: He wanted to stymie New York City Democrats, who he believed would push progressive legislation. For a new governor with presidential ambitions, that simply would not do, so he propped up what was effectively a Republican majority in the Senate that held until 2018, when the benevolent governor ordered its dissolution. When examined closely, Cuomo's record of competence is similarly less impressive. As Politico's Nick Riesman wrote in a damning account of the governor's long record of mismanagement in late April, "His team has asserted his consistent polling advantage is based on his reputation as an effective manager, but as he vies to oversee the nation's largest school district, trash collection operation and police force, he is glossing over his mistakes and betting voters won't remember." Some of the infrastructure projects Cuomo presided over were far less impressive than they seem. The Mario Cuomo bridge was plagued by issues — bolts were reportedly flying off it around the same time its namesake's son celebrated its completion. At first blush, the completion of the Second Ave subway—a project decades in the making-was definitive proof of Cuomo's singular prowess as a manager. But his obsession with finishing the line helped exacerbate a crisis in New York City's subway system that led to months of brutal delays. "Shifting the MTA's priorities and accelerating construction of the Second Avenue Subway led to a system-wide subway crisis in 2017," wrote Philip Mark Plotch, in his book The Last Subway. Indeed, the MTA's longstanding funding crisis was aided by Cuomo, who deliberately underfunded mass transit in the city: If anyone deserves blame for the shambolic state of city's subways today, it is him.

love that! apparently during his time it was also stylized eastern airlines (and of course just eastern). but i say keep it as three separate words :-)
print ad for eastern air lines, featuring frank borman. “There's nothing special about a pillow unless it's not offered.' Frank Borman, President, Eastern Airlines What we re really saying is that Eastern is an airline that tries to anticipate your needs. This attitude holds true whether it's a pillow, a blanket, a second cup of coffee, a hand with your hand luggage or just a question answered about connecting flights. These things aren't superficial. These are the things that make or break an airline. We know you pay good money to sit in one of our seats and you expect a lot in return. You expect to know that when you make a reservation for a seat it will be there waiting for you. That it won't be given away to someone else. And when you do sit in it, you expect courteous prompt service. The point we're making is quite simple. We know what it's going to take to get you to fly Eastern again and again. It's personal service. The kind of personal service that helped win us 2 million more passengers last year than the year before. Obviously, we're succeeding. But we won't stop here. Because if we want you to fly Eastern all the time, and we do, we have to earn our wings every day. Every day. EASTERN THE WINGS OF MAN "The Wings of Man" is a registered service mark of Eastern Air Lines, Inc. print ad for eastern air lines, also featuring president frank borman. *The Wings of Man™ is a regstered service mark of Eastern Air Lines, Inc "All airlines fly at the same speed but bad service can make a flight seem longer." FRANK BORMAN, PRESIDENT, EASTERN AIRLINES Airspeed isn't a good reason to choose one airline over another. The quality of personal service is. Eastern Airlines employees are committed to giving you good, hassle-free service. Your flight seems quicker when things go right. Like being greeted as you board the plane. Or being handed a magazine, instead of having to hunt for one. Or getting a good, hot meal and a second cup of coffee automatically. Or just having a friendly, helpful flight attendant for your section of the plane. It's all the little things we do for you that affect your loyalty. And not just the things we do in the air, but on the phone and in the airport as well. When we're helpful on the phone, when we're careful with your luggage, when we try to honor your request for a specific seat, it all pays off for us. Our philosophy is that our people can't just do a job. They have to really put themselves out for you. And it's helping us win over new passengers and win back old ones. For the second year in a row, we've flown almost two million more passengers than we did the year before. We realize there are other airlines out there you could fly besides Eastern. So if we want you to fly Eastern all the time, and we do, we have to earn our wings 50 every day. EASTERN THE WINGS OF MAN
