BREAKING: Jacksonville Airport is on fucking fire.

The parking garage is engulfed in flames and sources are pointing at a Tesla explosion as the ignition point.

Fell to my knees in agony at my first sight of the court at the Big 12 Tournament, which is covered baseline to baseline in the Roman numeral “XII” thousands of times
A grey basketball court with tiny white Roman numerals XII, each about one foot in length, written over and over and over and over again, covering every inch of the court A zoomed in look at the XII pattern, which, I cannot stress this enough, covers every inch of the court

ICYMI, the NBA has officially joined Bluesky @nba.com. Needless to say this is a HUGE deal, and it's very important that not only as many people as possible follow it, but that as many people as possible follow the current team accounts on here as well - because that will 100% be a determining factor in terms of how many other big NBA/sports accounts migrate over here. If you're like me - if you'd like to live in a world where Elon Musk and his circle of freaks no longer has a role to play in your favorite sport's online fandom anymore - supporting these accounts and the other people in the starter packs legitimately helps, because the more followers certain accounts get, the more their dependence on X weakens and the more this community grows. So lets follow some people!

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee

Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires

It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role
Dear Senator I am writing as a constituent, former FAA air traffic controller (26 years) and current Airline Transport rated commercial pilot. On Friday, hundreds of FAA technicians and engineers were terminated. These technicians and engineers maintain every piece of equipment that keeps flying safe, from the radars to the ILS, to ATC automation. They were identified as "probationary" and there is a reasonable speculation that Al was used to "find" probationary employees, assuming that meant that they were new hires. That is not an accurate assumption. A newly hired federal employee is probationary and may be subject to at will termination, but the term "probationary" is also applied to promotions, to describe not that you are a probationary employee, but if the promotion or transfer is not successful, the employee would return to the pre-promotion position. That allows the government to retain needed expertise. However, even that is not the case in these positions as workers were indeed succeeding in their new roles.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Trump says he’s fired the chairman of the Kennedy Center and named himself chairman.
Trump: At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP! Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP. The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! 438 ReTruths 1.5k Likes

The AC got absolutely butchered. Getting rid of draft is one thing, but in general the structure is just horrible, tiny number of swiss rounds into much of the field playing a single match for a pt invite. Really sad to see
