@AXMXHX @cnnbrk Not for a tax exempt charitable organization which laundered the funds thru fraudulently established bank accounts

@EchoesofWarYT Madison mostly remained intact, probably bc the mayor was anti secession and, as a former member of the House, was friends with Sherman's Senator brother.

I took a tour of the antebellum district once; it's quite nice and they are proud of it

What does a total solar eclipse look like from space?

Taken from the Mir Space Station #OTD in 1999, this photo shows the Moon's shadow on Earth during a total solar eclipse.

@LiveAncestral The US has been adding this to flour for a while now, and it is claimed to reduce birth defects related to spina bifida

@ChrisMartzWX The "news" coverage of 3 Mile Island was hysterical, and that accident amplified the Jane F*nda anti nuclear film "The China Syndrome" which came out about the same time

@FrankBr05713205 It's aggravating that GM spends billions on stock buybacks but cuts corners on engineering.
What will the stock be worth when people quit buying their products

@RodDMartin Good post. But G Wallace always ran as a Democrat, except once as an independent in the 68 presidential

@NewsHour However the trials showed a higher rate of side effects compared to the current flu vax

FDA's own file on Moderna's new mRNA flu shot, in one chart.

- 3 in 4 adults 65+ had a reaction.
- Day-stopping reactions, 4x the comparator.
- Deaths of unspecified cause: 23 vs 9 — with zero autopsies performed.
- Benefit: 137 people switched to prevent one case of flu-like illness.

All FDA's numbers. Including their caveats.

Sorry, can't train more doctors. People in charge of training doctors says it's not allowed

Best we can do is import doctors who couldn't get into American medical schools while we tell 80% of our best students that they're not allowed to be doctors

This piece from Futurism shouldn’t be making the rounds because it fundamentally misstates the findings of the NTSB preliminary report and attributes the recent loss of a King Air medevac near Ruidoso, NM to GPS jamming from the U.S. Army.

This crew launched planning to either fly a visual approach on a zero illumination night in mountainous terrain or to fly one of two instrument approaches that weren’t authorized due to equipment outages.

GPS jamming is common near some installations. It was noted in the NOTAMs this crew reviewed. They identified it during the flight and ATC requested the Army to shut down the jammer, which they did.

Even after having received GPS interference the crew requested to fly the GPS based RNAV 24 approach. Why would you ask to fly an approach with equipment you just saw was unreliable? At night. In mountainous terrain.

The crew then proceeded to call the field in sight and proceed visually with no instrument backup. They descended below a ridge line in the Capitan Mountains and impacted terrain. A tragic, yet classic, controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) scenario.

IMO this flight should never have been dispatched. But given that it was, shooting a visual approach with no instrument backup at night is poor judgement. Even more so in mountainous terrain.

This crew lacked the training and judgement to assess the situation and respond. The Futurism article is sensationalist and fundamentally misrepresents the sequence of events.

@EricLDaugh They're gonna get another Susan Collins, I fear.
Now, Collins is prob the best we can get from Maine but Carolina can elect a proven conservative instead
