Imagine being a commercial pilot flying into JFK for the first time. 312 NOTAMS.

DXB, by comparison, has 21. HKG has 19.

one of my favorite things i've read about JCM - and the moment of insight he must have had when he realized what (mu_0 * epsilon_0) ^ (-1/2) worked out to, numerically:

this is letting the offender off lightly, btw. lasering a plane should net you one attempted murder charge per person on board the aircraft.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

... i have a slight variant on this, which is that i have to pat the airplane on the outside (just to the right of the door) a couple times on the way in (to say hello) and on the way out (to say good girl, thank you for getting me here safely)

i chose the trains on my current trip in part so that i could get on four different types of rolling stock (two different Italo trains, then two different Frecciarossas)

attn: @greenleejw.bsky.social - eel content from the Metropolitan Museum of Art today
Salomon van Ruysdael
Drawing the Eel, early 1650s
Oil on wood

Against a wintry sky and bare branches, this village road becomes the setting for a cruel pastime: a live eel strung on a line is plucked down by young people charging on horseback. The contest provides the pretext for a festive gathering, allowing Ruysdael to combine his eye for local color with an evocation of limpid winter light and its reflection in the frozen skating pond below.

Turing Tumble is the only thing I can recall where I saw one ad on Twitter and was like "yes I *will* buy this product I had no idea existed before seeing your ad"

there was one context in which that joke was actually funny, and it was when Sean Astin and Elijah Wood were at Dragon Con during the SAG-AFTRA strike and couldn't promote struck work, so Sean talked about the time they made that movie about a backpacking trip through New Zealand
