In the Michael Chabon novel “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” an old Houdini-like character advises a pupil to worry less about what he’s escaping from, and more about what he’s escaping to.

@oscarpiastri81 These guys are cowards. The entire grid recognizes what a dirty, dangerous driver Max is, but they clam up when they have an opportunity to say so be cause they're terrified of Max's rabid fanbase, and, honestly of Max too.

@RobinUnger22 @Gerashchenko_en This looks like a Light Sport Aircraft (the US FAA designation) manufactured by Aeroprakt in Ukraine.

They're available for purchase as normal, two-seat airplanes. The Ukrainian armed forces appear to have made extensive use of LSAs as unmanned, explosive delivery systems.

@AndyKimNJ Idiots and operatives are now shining lasers at ordinary aircraft because of you. You're either a useful idiot for the Kremlin, or you're one their payroll. Either way, you're a threat to America.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@GovLarryHogan It stretches credulity to assume you're so stupid you don't appreciate all of this. So, then what? You're deliberately sowing civil unrest?

You're either a useful idiot for the Kremlin, or you're one their payroll. The result is the same.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@GovLarryHogan Now your constituents are shining lasers at airplanes. Dozens, or even hundreds of events reported already.

You did this.

Some people are going to go to prison for years. If it doesn't stop soon, a pilot will be blinded, the plane will crash, and many people will die.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@GovLarryHogan People of Maryland, aliens have eaten your Governor's brain.

Or maybe he's just an irresponsible dumbass who's never looked up to see stars and airliners overhead.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@MCCCANM ...for the Kremlin and the Trump family - e.g. The National Inquirer. Why? Also hard to say, but it's unlikely to be for a good cause.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@MCCCANM The old-skool, right-wing online cesspool is awash with this garbage. I don't have a Truth account, but I imagine it's much the same there.

It is a dangerous, deliberate disinformation campaign intended to stoke mass hysteria. Who's responsible? Hard to say, but the pros work..

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@thenewarea51 Spot on.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@tokyotimes I'd love to see you on Mastodon.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@davidfrum Good for you, but Republicans in the 1980s were busy deregulating, refusing to constrain monopolies, and running cover for an administration in bed with Iranian terrorist Mullahs and nun-raping gangs in El Salvador, plus shitting all over the Constitution. So, yeah, nah.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@KyivIndependent Odds that Ukraine reduces Red Square to a smoldering crater this year? The incentives seem strong.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@SpiesVespers Very, very rarely visit Twitter anymore, but always happy to see your tweets when I do. Wish you were on Mastodon. Understand why you're not.

@AndyKimNJ When some yahoo shoots down a Cessna with a family on board, that'll be partly on you.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@MickWest @AndyKimNJ Good on ya.

A US Senator should know better than to throw gasoline on a fire when an extinguisher is at hand and easy to use.

Every second of attention this gets is a second not devoted to something real.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@spartanannie @AndyKimNJ Bingo.

Except crop circles were deliberate pranks by bored, but clever farmers. These "drones" are ordinary airplane traffic, with a little normal commercial drone activity mixed in. Dumbass "influencers" aided by dumbass Senators are creating this hysteria on their own.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@ErikSperling @AndyKimNJ They're ordinary airplanes doing ordinary airplane things. Solved.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@AndyKimNJ Stop. You have become the National Enquirer of legislators. You're watching ordinary airplanes doing ordinary airplane things. You're making an in-kind donation to the Trump kakistocracy by contributing to mass hysteria that distracts from real, important things.

Just stop.

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@rao2z Miss you on Mastodon!

[Goober Pyle @GooberPyle5]

@rao2z Please come back to Mastodon. I'm deleting my Xitter account today, and I'll miss you.
