I follow the news about the Royal Family in French because I learn so many new words & expressions to describe horrible acts & people. I also recently came upon the verb foutre—a veritable treasure trove of slang phrases that would be very familiar to the ex-Prince Andrew if he had been born French.
Selon Jean des Cars, spécialiste des monarchies, qui vient de publier « La Malédiction des cadets », les turpitudes du frère de Charles III s’inscrivent dans une litanie de numéros deux catastrophiques dans les royautés.

As always with this administration, the cause of the out-of-scale disruption is—barely—legitimate.. A casual, clumsily-managed upending of other ppl's lives is more than a hallmark—it's defining. We saw J.D.Vance take an army of baggage, personnel, trucks, food just to go get booed at the Olympics.

The counter drone testing includes high-energy laser technologies, which pose risk to aircraft.

DoD also gave the FAA notice about deploying its counter drone systems, but it lacked enough details that made the FAA comfortable on the operations.-Politico
An aviation industry official said that the restriction was put in place because the Defense Department has been using drones & testing some counter-drone techn in the airspace, which neighbors Mexico, without sharing critical safety info on such operations w/ the FAA.-Politico

@chadbourn.bsky.social there's a pilots' chat forum where they're discussing this & exchanging information. pilotsofamerica.com
general consensus is that it's bizarre & unprecedented. & incredibly poorly handled b/c it was issued with no notice, such that passengers arrived to a closed airport.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

Billionaires have never been less popular. & large cities—always mostly blue cities—are at their breaking point. yet this crap continues: nimaginably wealthy team owners, still out there, cap in hand, extorting cities into building new stadiums for them. every few years.

this thread crystallizes for me the thing about MAGA that bothers me the most. I don't criticize them for being upset at not understanding the words. I blame them because they will never in a million years ever DREAM of bothering to look them up. or find a translation. or god forbid, learn Spanish.
