@flightradar24 Is there a way to set up alerts for specific aircraft that lack identifying information such as in the below screenshot?

In Belarus if you can't find a taxi you can just shout 'DEMOCRACY' & their police will provide transport.

Could you pass cognitive test Trump took?

Now’s your chance.

This is wild.

The @WHO chat bot appears to have been programmed to ignore Taiwan, and only Taiwan, as a query

[Rich Lowry @RichLowry]

Hey, look—another largely peaceful protest

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

No.

[The Hill @thehill]

Sec. Mike Pompeo: "This administration appreciates and knows that our rights come from God, not government. Can I get an amen to that?"

[Tom Karako @tomkarako]

A fine move. Now please sanction the Turkey-Russia axis for those S-400s.

Why does Turkey keep getting a pass?

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

More likely, Misrata

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

Presumably #Turkish C-130 and A400 heading from Instanbul and Konya, respectively, together in the Med. heading to #Tripoli?

.@USAfricaCommand reports that Russian mercenaries are illegally placing landmines around Tripoli in Libya, as part of Russia's effort to support the military campaign of strongman Khalifa Belqasim Haftar

In case you didn’t already know, the foundation of pharma development is farming a prehistoric species and draining its blue blood to test for bacterial endotoxins in anything that might go into the human body like IVs, devices, and shots. We’re a very civilized society.

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

What do Atlantic horseshoe crabs have to do with a potential #COVID19 vaccine? Allow writer @edbites to explain. 1/10 https://t.co/su3UkRIRet

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

Okay. 1) @nytimes it’s a suppressor, there’s no such thing as a silencer @AndyStumpf77 @bryancallen 2) I’m sure int’l sales provide 0 intel 3) they’d be buying Russian anyway 4) we can legally export tanks so this point is PoLiTiCaL 5) State will still review all exports

[James Gleick @JamesGleick]

Our military and our State Department have long prevented gunmakers from selling silencers to terrorists and others overseas. To protect our service members.
Not any more. Trump gave a White House job to this guy, and he overruled them. By @kenvogel https://t.co/mABRODncoo

$30B+ spent on LCS boats that don’t work and we don’t want, but each year Congress buys more just to keep @LockheedMartin and @generaldynamics ship biz afloat like we’re Soviets. It’s time for a dive into Navy culture, leadership, support (or lack thereof), and funding priorities

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

PSA The $761M ship was undergoing a $250M renovation paid for by US taxpayers. Probably going to be a bit more expensive now. 2017 DDG-56 collision killed 10, just after DDG-62 crash killed 7. 2020, senior officers called “junior” by WH and fired for leaking COVID concerns.

[Neda Iranpour @NedaNews]

Every morning at 8am on Naval Base San Diego, the national anthem plays on loud speakers. This morning it was a scene like none other to hear the Star-Spangled Banner and watch the American flag wave at the bow of a burning USS Bonhomme Richard. @CBS8

[Jake Edward Meredith @jedwardmeredith]

@Convertbond Maybe the name should change each year to the highest lobbying spender. While I would hope there’d be some change there to educate the public, @USChamber of Commerce would take the title as far back as 2001. The Washington Chamberpots?
