American Airlines has 77 regional planes sitting in storage because they can't find pilots to fly them. The expected U.S. pilot shortfall in 2026 is 24,000. Training a new commercial pilot takes 2-3 years minimum and costs six figures.

So American found a loophole. Partner with a bus company, brand the bus "American Eagle," sell the seat on https://t.co/mcPOsfKjK5 with a flight number, route passengers through TSA, let them pick a seat, check bags, earn AAdvantage miles. The entire experience is designed to feel like a flight in every way except the part where you leave the ground.

The economics are staggering. A regional jet on a 90-mile route needs two pilots ($100K+ each), a flight attendant, jet fuel, FAA maintenance requirements, and an aircraft that costs $20-30 million. The Landline bus needs one driver and a highway.

South Bend to Chicago O'Hare is 90 miles. That route doesn't make money with a regional jet anymore. It barely made money before the pilot shortage. The bus lets American keep selling connections through O'Hare to every destination in its network without operating a single flight.

This is what the pilot shortage actually looks like. Not cancelled routes. Not smaller airports going dark. The airline just quietly reclassified a bus as a flight and kept charging accordingly. The TikTok exposing it has 13 million views because the passenger cleared security, sat at a gate, and watched her luggage get loaded onto a coach before it merged onto the interstate.

The word "bus" appears once during booking in small text. Google Flights lists it with a tiny bus icon. The airline says customers are "transparently informed." 72% of U.S. airports have already lost an average of 25% of their flights to the shortage, and Landline is expanding, not shrinking. Philadelphia, Chicago, and now five regional airports are on the bus network.

American Airlines is solving a $28,000-per-pilot-shortfall crisis by removing the pilot from the equation entirely. The bus is the product now. The flight number is just packaging.

[Brian O'Shaughnessy @BrianOSh]

One of my persistent asks, why hasn’t there been a definitive film on this historic moment yet?

Berlin, 1976–79.
Three men ran from themselves and collided with a city already split in half.

Bowie came to disappear.
Iggy came to survive.
Eno came to listen.

This wasn’t a “creative period.” It was a controlled burn. Cocaine
Heroin, paranoia, synths, concrete.
A city where the Wall wasn’t metaphor, it was instrumentation. You didn’t express yourself in Berlin. You reduced yourself until only signal remained.

I understand the derivative Hollywood instinct as these Berlin years resist biopics.
There’s no hero���s journey: only discipline, friendship, and voltage.

Music as architecture.

Identity as something you dismantle, not celebrate.

The film that should exist wouldn’t explain anything.

It would feel like Taxi Driver shot by a German DP, edited like Run Lola Run, hallucinating through Liquid Sky.

Minimal dialogue.
Eyes doing the talking.
Music leaking into rooms like gas.

The ending wouldn’t be triumph.
It would be Bowie leaving Berlin quietly, because once the work is done, you don’t mythologize the lab.

You lock it.
And walk away

But its time to open the vault.

Many pawns of paradox,
small chess sprites slipping across the grid
like quarks with someplace urgent to be.
The rook blink in binary,
a knight snaps reality’s spine with one L-shaped hop,
and the queen hums with dangerous superposition.

We’re not moving pieces.
We’re rearranging the subatomic.
Each pawn is a fuse,
each square a doorway,
each move a quiet detonation of the old world.

Push one pawn forward.
Hear the universe flinch.

When you’re serious about scaling quantum computing systems, you need serious cryogenics.​

We have now installed two helium cryoplants which will be integrated into a dual 180W @ 2 K cooling systems. These plants, built by our partners at Linde, will support our new site in the South Bay.

@AaronKlein The useful one, the useless one, the one that changed me. The first two are the same, transactional and likely both could be emails. The latter being unexpected outlier. It’s more often than not, in person. It’s unanticipated and therefore a pattern break, a spark.
