The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

CFP: A Time of Monsters

The monster has been here all along. It is a historical constant that manifests in wildly different ways across time, place, and culture. Whatever form it takes, the monster claws at categories; it un...

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Hey, you guys?

Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 3d

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?

Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker

Immergut: You're a lawyer

In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

#HATM Managed to find a good clip of Jerry Orbach in Chicago. Wish I had been able to see him in this. Richard Geer was great in the movie. But this has a rougher touch. Plus, pure Fosse. youtu.be/XhM8qq5rLN8?...

Enjoyed watching with everyone, even if it was a slightly disturbing watch. Thinking too much about what I was conditioned to think of as a romantic ideal as an '80s child. #HATM

"I only did it on the day I shot it," said Grey. "Never rehearsed it, never done it since. I don't know how all these people who reenact it have the guts to throw themselves into the arms of anyone other than Patrick Swayze. It's insane!" #HATM abcnews.go.com/Entertainmen...

"I [Lisa Houseman] wrote it. I wrote the story of the spoiled brat living in the island. I can't remember whose idea it was [to make the song] a hula." The "Hula Hana" is an earworm that does belong in the late 50s, early 60s #HATM ew.com/movies/dirty...

In the 90s, family members worked at lodges for the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). They became great at cooking for large numbers #HATM
