pretty much

i think it's important to write these pieces still. it's just that they have to be grounded in the reality that this admin doesn't want debate, doesn't want good or provocative ideas, unless they advance trump's financial or political interests.

it just amazes me that people still write think pieces about what the admin should or shouldn't do without acknowledging that normal, rational, national-interest thinking (as hollow as that even was) has nothing to do with the way this admin views things.

yikes.

on one flight from dushanbe to fergana the pilots invited me to join them in the cockpit the entire trip. cool but can you imagine?

if they could get me from
nyc to LA fast, i’d be on ‘em

this is really unfortunate news to read while waiting to board a ua flight at ewr.

harrowing actually. started with a near miss. a third of the seats were non operational.

congrats! impressive!
