While listening to "adventure aviation" aircraft dive-bomb our Las Vegas suburb, I began to look into actions others have taken against nuisance aircraft, and this one really is the best: reuters.screenocean.com/record/922975

No lasers required, but it helps to have a bowl of water & a puppy.

Hopefully, they won't waste a huge amount of these doing air-bursts over deserted runways, the way Trump spent our armory during his last term. You don't have to be a Nobel prize winner to know these would have been the better choice, but DJT wanted to spend our $: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matra_D...

Lev Parnas served a year in fed prison for bribing a MAGA candidate for AG in Nevada. We were never told about the money he gave to the AG in his *own* state, and since she refuses to tell us about Homan's cash, I assume she took other people's bribes as well. Florida GOP are dirty as fuck.

Umm.. nothing for the state of Illinois, and one text line for Nevada. Let me know when this is workable.

Remember when Eagle Dynamics sold Americans a sim version of the helicopter this was based on. Yeah, the same company that pretended to have an authorized version of the F-35. We'll never find out about the connection between Saddleback and stolen aviation secrets, thanks to NaziTrump.

Religious leaders denied request to deliver Communion to detainees at Broadview facility

Meanwhile, two days after a judge ordered the removal of a fence erected by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, barricades were being put up in front of the fence on Saturday.

Watching @vivekramaswamy run into, and being rejected by, the very bigots he embraced in Ohio is satisfying.

I'm so old, I remember when WLS-TV had their broadcasting antenna on top of one of the Marina Towers.

Despite a huge ivory penis erected 30 years ago on the banks of the Chicago River, NBC probably has more "journalists" working in Philadelphia than they do in Chicago, because the Roberts family made their money from rural PA cable subscribers 50 years ago and now they think they rule the world.

I'm going to bet Perry's Nexstar didn't do a thing to help their employee. Remember, Nexstar owns KLAS in Las Vegas while Nazi-loving Sinclair owns the NBC and WB affiliate in town. They will repeat Israeli and Trump lies.

With a fuzzy look down to see the purse still there, I saw the bat-wielding youth running away. Several years later, my cousin was shot in the head at an El station. Yet the most afraid I've ever been in Chicago was of Chicago cops in the '60s. Don't make me come back and fight you. Fuck ICE.

Sweet home, Chicago. Not far from where that photo was taken, I (19) was sitting on a Grant Park bench with my Polish girlfriend (18) with my glasses off when I heard something behind me & I ducked. Something whizzed over my head and my ankle felt her purse's strap snap tight. Pop went his shoulder.

Channel 4 is owned by Sinclair, who fully supports fascism.
Fuck Sinclair. Boycott any advertiser who buys commercials in local news or any Sinclair "newscast."

Golf courses. Want to get rich white men who don't care about anything but themselves angry? Fuck up their golf courses.

Remember that FM radio, with "new" improvements like stereo and vastly improved high/low frequency reproduction, allowed many of the earliest progressive rock artists to gain recognition AM radio (king of the previous 4 decades) could never have provided. WLS-FM in Chicago, owned by ABC was pioneer.

I cannot hate Bezos more. Now, when trying to read a gift article, the Nazis@WaPo make you give them an email address with a link to the article that you already clicked on. Since I use FUCKBEZOS as my email address, they aren't getting much, but I fucking hate how they want to track what you read.

Sorry, Janet. Once we hit out 70's in today's world, it's time to let the adults who will still be alive in 40 years to run things. By then, there will be no middle class, just peasants and wealthy. You & your children will parboil in the toxic stew yr parents spurted out while you played vid games.
