I literally can't figure out if she's advocating for or against the EC, because the people of one or two states choosing the president is the system we have NOW.

having encountered a lot of justifications for the electoral college over the years “to avoid cannibalism” is by far the most persuasive

7/17/23 Even a half-assed #AvGeek like me must visit YQX when in Newfoundland. The restored international terminal and the exhibits within it are great. The aviation museum in town is informative, but a bit rough (they are seeking funds for a new building).

I cannot emphasize enough that straight reporting in the NYT should be verified elsewhere if you want to be sure about it. The standards are appalling.

I’m going to start with the absolutely jaw-dropping news that The New York Times deceptively edited a quote to make it appear that JD Vance opposes a national abortion ban. — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

Announcing that less than one half of one percent of your passengers are paying extra for SAFs is an interesting flex. But also more or less inline with industry averages, I think. #AvGeek

If you’ve written a TV show or movie that includes trans or other LGBTQ+ characters, Project 2025 wants to send you to prison for being a “purveyor of pornography.”

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

I've not yet read all of it, and expect that I won't understand most of it. But the FAA publishing a draft update to the ODA process/qualifications program documentation for the first time in a decade seems like a big deal. #AvGeek www.regulations.gov/document/FAA...

Unhoused person slain at national gathering of political party tied to Supreme Court justices who just criminalized living unhoused.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

Ohio police officer shoots, kills person in Milwaukee outside of RNC perimeter, sources saywww.jsonline.com The man killed by Ohio officers near the RNC on Tuesday was well-known in the neighborhood, several witnesses told the Journal Sentinel.

I get that the entire thing is an effort to carve up the government and give it to supporters, destroying public services. But these companies already get the weather data for free and repackage it. Managing/maintaining the observation sites is massively expensive. Why would *they* want that?

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

PR people: Do Not Do This.

Just encountered a new, extremely cursed PR strategy. A PR person emailed "Hi Rose, Just sending over a reminder for today's interview at 4:30 EST. See you then!" I panicked thinking that I had double booked myself or something. Turns out we never scheduled an interview, she just WANTS TO DO ONE.

and the most common cause of death of pregnant and immediately postpartum people is MURDER because it's such a common time for abusers to kill. So ALREADY it's a huge additional cause of death given all these new abortion bans. Add more barriers to divorce? God help us.

this is particularly alarming in light of his intention to make abortion unobtainable - pregnant people are at increased risk for partner violence, and reproductive coercion and abuse is common among people seeking support during pregnancy.
