i was just thinking, you've got to have at least patchy video to accompany, because there are just so many aviation nerds who prep constantly for exactly a moment like this. Could be talking rotor configuration and location, engines, landing gear, pouring over details of a grainy night time video

GO BACK TO DOING PRODUCTION ON THE FLY WEEK TO WEEK WHILE WRITING IS STILL HAPPENING

THE PITT LEADS THE WAY
The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

I often think of a different LBJ call.

"And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence."

that's not even the abbreviation for assistant, everyone knows that's "association"
Is there a different way we could abbreviate "Assistant Editor?"

This man lead an armed occupation of federal land, in which one of the occupiers who joined him was killed in a convoy he was a part of. He’s not some shitposter with a podcast.

Whatever he is though, he is for the love of the game. Not an opportunist. Violent extremist. But a genuine one.

Firing up “Becoming” the Michelle Obama doc on Netflix. It’s trending in the top 10 this weekend. Only number 8 though.

8 is good, but people, if we want to protect the reputation for pettiness, it’s moments like this that are make or break. Don’t just dream of great pettiness. Live it.

it's like watching a number one receiver make a catch in the end zone wide open. like... how does he end up uncovered? how do they let THAT GUY get open? Triple cover him and at least make someone else beat you.

I remember, said the dragon driver
When there wasn’t a rule number 3
The dragon world seemed safer and kinder
And little dragons could travel in peace

Antebellum northerners never *liked* southern slavery, but they didn’t get angry enough to destroy it until it sent armies and spies into their cities to serve as kidnappers
