ALSO, if you have come to tell me that the quote is from Steel Magnolias and not Fried Green Tomatoes. I noticed the error and changed it immediately while yelling OH SHIT!
"Frankly, this level of chaos is inspiring. Get ready girls, because we are in our Boeing era — screws loose, dangerous to be around, and lacking any and all accountability." CRYING and also 100% accurate.
Thanks again to everyone voting in the Dingus Madness bracket poll! The good news is that half of the Dinguses were eliminated in round 1, so when you vote this week you only have to prove your humanity to the free bracket poll tool 8 times instead of 16.
Here are the Sour 16 match-ups:
* Mike Johnson vs. 118th Congress
* Alex Jones vs. Lindsey Graham
* Matt Gaetz vs. Lauren Boebert
* Mitch McConnell vs. People Who Think Drag Shows are Hurting the Children
* Everyone Banning Books vs. The Supreme Court
* People Outlawing Trans Girls from Sports vs. Greg Abbott
* Elon Musk vs. Ted Cruz
* Andrew Tate vs. Ken Paxton
Some seriously tough choices in this round. How do you choose between Musk and Cruz? Or Gaetz and Boebert? You can vote as many times as you wish in any or all of the match-ups, and the results will be revealed within the poll on Monday at 12pm eastern.
Not for nothing, there's some chatter in Avgeek circles that the LATAM incident was caused when the pilot adjusted his seat to eat and inadvertently knocked the control column.
That said, Boeing has now given us textbook examples of the pitfalls of outsourcing, 'continuous improvement,' and what happens when your business goes from one that's run by engineers to one that's beholden to driving shareholder value.
To be fair, the invisible hand of capitalism was supposed to have tightened those Boeing bolts, but it was condemned by Republicans as unnecessary government socialism and was promptly thrown out.
Side note: is it not perfect irony that this post came the same day I’m flying back home for the weekend?
I just read the Scientific American article. Boy, do I love it when implicit (and explicit) gender bias of ‘science facts’ is revealed. I will never stop recommending Emily Martin’s classic in this genre, The Egg and the Sperm.
As a grad student I was fortunate to hear her present an early version of this paper as a conference talk. It remains the best academic presentation I’ve ever seen
Okay. I don't care who does or doesn't do it, and maybe I'm a kink shamer, but eating ass just isn't on my bucket list. Or any of my lists. Gack. But I'm on the Ozempic and a lot of things make me nauseous. As the Crooked media kids say, what a week, Lyz! I saw your interview with the Today gang and it was great! Your book has been spinning in my head ever since I listened to it, and it has spurred much conversation.
The last report I read (sorry, no link) said that there's no verification that the door's bolts were ever present. I don't know what was holding it in place before it flew off - duct tape?
I watched the clip of your interview with Hoda and Jenna. You were great! Well done. I noticed that you chose not to utter one word of blame or criticism about your now-ex-husband. I sense that he was not the easiest person to collaborate with in relationship and this must have contributed to your feeling the need to get free. But you didn’t go there in your interview and I think it takes real discipline to keep out of that place. You stayed focused on your message. Congratulations on the success of the book!
I watched the baby fox video and 1) I don't know that the creepy mask is really all that necessary because it's not like they SMELL or SOUND like foxes but anyway and 2) WT absolute F is the reporter wearing?????? She looks like an Imperial officer on a Star Destroyer

Lyz - 1 million points, Boeing - 0

There absolutely were intense meetings about that Boeing em dash!!!!

I am sideways on the floor laughing at the idea of Alex Jones eating ass the way Donald Trump eats pizza! Thank you!!!!
"But what do I know? I am not a captain of American industry because I don’t like killing people."
This really is the answer to why I will never have silly money. I have too man ethics and morals for that.

Has Netanyahu been a dingus yet? I mean...

Your interview on the Today Show was PURE GOLD!!!!! So was this Dingus essay, as always! xo
Cats can be jerks! But, I still love my cat (and all cats!) ^. .^
I don’t think I voted in last year’s bracket (I know, I know) but DANG a lot of these today were close.
