If you're in Citrus, Collier, DeSoto, Dixie, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Jackson, Levy, Marion, or Nassau Counties, it's time to GET OUT THE VOTE y'all! Early voting starts today! #AngieforFlorida

I went FLYING today! 1st time in a tail-wheeled, joystick controlled aircraft. Such a good time in my happy happy place. This American Champion Citabria 7ECA is a real joy to fly - she practically flies herself.

Witnessed the Falcon 9 launch from our front yard - 81 miles away. Pretty amazing. The bright white spot is the actual rocket, probably already close to Africa. (See Alt txt for more)

It's a great day for a GOOD story. I know I certainly needed this. Inject it into my veins!!! 😍

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

🧵🧵🧵 on the Cornell Seven. I didn’t write this and I don’t know who did, but it perfectly sums up how I feel and how I’ve felt for a very long time. (If you see this and you wrote it, please speak up. I don’t want to be credited with something I didn’t write)

"People either try to forget them or find others to blame. Attributing the pandemic to fate or random chance isn’t satisfying; a lot of people need a villain, even if, in this case, the villain is a man who helped end the pandemic that was ravaging the world..." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

There is nothing that demonstrates the entirety of Donald Trump's life, ambitions, talents, projects and skills more than the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. His whole life story writ large in 2,000 feet of beauty turned to crap...

Well, it is done. We are now Florida residents, for better or worse. Looking forward to getting active in the aviation community here, As well as exploring the diverse ethnic cultures and foods here. Oh, and yeah, see what I can do joining the local Dems

So I'm just casually minding my own business, waiting for my fish sandwich, when I notice my service number. Holy crap - this place is trying to KILL ME!!! Someone call Tod Blanche!!!

A #caturday photo of our Boo Cat, contently enjoying a scritch. This guy adopted us in 2003 and was the best cat ever (until our current cats, shhh!) Sadly we lost him to disease in 2018. But, this face!!!

Today I worked in our county's Voting Machine verification process, in prep for elections here. Having also worked as an election judge during elections - I can tell you that the system of checks, rechecks and double-triple checks in our voting system is awesome, and safe. There. Is. No. Fraud.

#nathancavanaugh - please don't share this hashtag or video because, well, please DO share/post this...

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

So very many peeps and pundits saying that “one person (Trump) is responsible for…X” is too easy. He was voted in. Twice. The courts (HELLO Supremes!!! And lower courts too), and most especially a Congress, so-called, that has bowed, knelt and given away the store. THAT is how this happen/ed/s…

Ah! So, CECOT-USA. Gah!!!

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people. Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Bought myself a Christmas present. Haven’t ridden in 35 or more years. Spent some quality time this morning running around the block and doing figure 8’s and relearning my body how to do this… MUCH fun!

Meanwhile - our new KJEF tower is moving right along. Hope to have her open/operating by August to 2026. Equipment arrivals pending... #airports #atc #aviation #avgeek #jeffersoncitymousa

Very worth the read...

tl;dr this is, as I've been screaming into the wind about for a week now, not just illegal as shit but fundamentally means the Constitution as written is no longer in effect That said if you want an even deeper dive on the subject than I've done, this is a very good thread

Jesus and WTF they stand around like they are some kind of social media influencer with the phones, then all decide to run away. Don't get me started about the dude with the tactical stick lol #russia #nafo

A unique operation by the Lazar unit: a drone with explosives lands on a Russian BUK air defense system on the move, tracks its route, and ultimately explodes.

And don’t read this and think “oh, it’s Idaho” and ignore the FACT that there are local, state and federal off-year semi-normal elections/votes happening in YOUR fair city, county, state. NOT voting is a good share of why we are where we are now. VOTE! IT MATTERS!

Cliff Hohman@cliff-for-idaho.org

The November 4 elections are coming up fast. Maybe you didn't even know there *were* elections this year, but there are. In these these off-off year elections, turnout is very low. That means a small number of people showing up who normally stay home can swing the whole thing. Voteidaho.gov

This time last Sunday I was very happily sweating my ass off at KJEF during our annual Show Me State Air Show. It was soooo freaking hot out there on the ramp, but man is it fun directing these beasts. Occasionally, I cop a ride. Yeehaw!! #aviation #avgeek #warbirds #flight

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.” My latest in @thenation

thenation.comThe Supreme Court Just Gave the OK to Racial ProfilingThe court’s ruling allowing ICE to resume its indiscriminate round-ups of LA’s Latino residents can only be described as one thing.
