American Airlines flight 5342 (CRJ) collides with Army UH-60 at DCA.
I live on the Wharf. It’s fucking siren city rn. I’ve landed that runway probably 100 times. I see Marine One almost every week. I know about the helicopters. They shouldn’t be over DCA.

Fuck. All. Of. This. GODDAMNIT. If you live in DC, We all have status on American. It’s basically a mini hub for American. I’ve spent probably 10% of my life on CRJ700s, as well as Embrear’s and MD-90s. HOW THE FUCK WAS THERE A BLACKHAWK IN DCA AIRSPACE.

No. No. Didn't you get the progressive memo about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good? This sort of compromise and incremental change won't do. It's Swedish Style Socialism on Day 1 and hairshirts for all of America's historical evils. Otherwise I'm staying home.

My father died last night.
I'm so sorry, brother. I never really knew my father, so it makes me happy that you had such a warm and close relationship with yours. Gives me faith in the men of our troubled world.

Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs vs. Eagles
THis is a classic "will watch until the game gets out of hand/is boring, then I will grudgingly (but actually happily) let my wife talk me into putting an International House Hunters on" Super Bowl.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
I don't, but my Son's childhood best friend goes to St. John's in Minnesota and LOVES it. Granted, he went to a Benedictine High School, but they offered him a ton of need and merit aid. The St. John's Football Corch back in the 80s and 90s was kind of a legend for being a good dude and the opposite of a Bobby Knight style asshole.

Every Carleton grad I’ve met is fucking smart and cool.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
I’ve made this joke before in this thread, but when Oregon played Colorado, that’s a lot of rich California kids who didn’t get into their first choice UC school.

True. Texas State and North Texas are D-I. OTOH, if you aren't going pro and looking at business, law, or medical school post graduation, would you rather have paper from: Bowdoin or North Texas?

Surly kids who can't get into UT
A school like Middlebury, Tufts, or Bowdoin, which are near impossible to get into academically, will give A LOT of preference to a top tier athelete who can pass the academic sniff test.

I've said this many times, depending on the school, the price isn't usually the price when talking D3 schools, depending on your income. If you are middle class, after need and potentially merit aid, the cost is often 1/2 to 2/3 less than the listed price. Don't look at that sticker and immediately swear off a school. It's worth reaching out to the coach, having a conversation, throwing in an application, and seeing what the school offers you. Your child doesn't have to be resigned to the Greek IM field at second tier state U.

Australian Actors mostly end up going back to Australia. Same for a lot of New Zealand actors. Outside of the odd Mel Gibson, they all go back. Pearce eventually left Melbourne and moved to Amsterdam with his second wife, a model, but 90% of the time when an actor from down under doesn't have the career you thought they were going to have, it's because they hated Hollywood and left.- Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds

With Societies, it depends on whether they are charity based or science focused. A charity based society should either be funding research or charity efforts and most of that money should be going out the door. A scientific society usually is a member based organization that also publishes/runs conferences to help cover the cost. Doesn't mean the executives aren't well paid, but their primary mission is more internal focused than external. There's a big difference between the American Chancer Society and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.- Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds
I'd roll Doctors without Borders for international. The real green light moment for me was during the Indonesian Earth Quake when they basically said: We have enought money, send it somewhere else. They caught a lot of shit for turning away donors, but that's just how they roll. Also, they are the canary in the coal mine on international situations. When they announce they are leaving or call for intervention you know its about to go down. Their work in Rwanda in 94 is fucking legend.- Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds
The Red Cross is well known in the DC non-profit community for inefficiency, wasteful spending, and other shady practices. World Central Kitchen is on the ground in LA if you are looking for a national non-profit with sterling ratings/reviews/reputation and don't have the time/energy to sort through local relief orgs.- Can we talk about Zuckerberg?
My only differences is vintage car and truck content. As Jerry Wayne Longmire puts it: If you can't find an agreeable woman to while away an afternoon in a vintage camper with a bottle of Old Crow, I'm not sure we can be friends. That kinda sums up my algorithm as well.- Surly kids who can't get into UT
For those with kids who excel in sports and grades: I am imploring you to look East towards quality Div III programs. They are desperate for quality athletes and the coaches can get preferred admissions. Do you have a child who is National Merit and also All District or Region? Good enough to not get stomped by Div. I athletes, but not good enough to get an offer to a school that is up to academic snuff? The New England Small College Athletic Conference would very much like to make their acquaintance.- Can we talk about Zuckerberg?
I see you have the same instagram search page that I do.....- Can we talk about Zuckerberg?
No, No. I think the solution here is MORE social media. - A Spy Among Friends (Damien Lewis, Guy Pearce) MGM+
