Wow. The Alaska Airlines pilot that handled the emergency had ice in her veins.👍🏿

Air Traffic Control audio:

A teenager in the window seat was almost sucked out of the plane! His phone and his shirt were ripped off of him and sucked out. He was saved by his mom holding him in.

🤔 I need to call my tiny mom and apologize for all the times she did "seatbelt arm" on giant me in the car whenever she had to slam on the brakes. I laughed at her! I didn't know the true power!

I would make a joke about irony, but honestly, I don't know if anyone actually understands what it is.

And if I did someone would inevitably come along in the comments, and try to explain irony, and even more inevitably someone would correct them, and then really this is just a joke about hubris, which is probably ironic, but who the hell knows.

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

As New Hampshire voters prepare to cast their votes in the state's first-in-the nation primary, a robo-call is circulating in the state urging Democrats to stay home - using fake audio of President Biden. https://www.voanews.com/a/7450337.html

Journalists making claims about science should quote their assertions with an actual link to a paper or something - rather than "scientists say this" or "scientists say that" and then quoting one named scientist in the article.

Watching a couple of comedians I normally follow on various social media and noticing how (since they're not leaving twitter), they've become more anti-liberal, can't stop talking about Musk as if he's a joy and a novelty, name-drop no-name republican politicians with friendly ribbing, become overtly misogynistic in their jokes.

I first thought they were on Elon's payroll, but I think it's just that they are afraid of becoming poor because twitter is their new audience, and they have changed

@Taweret I think we should consider doing a tribute to Roger Coreman next week, maybe by voting on one of his monster films?

This was suggested by @CactuarJoe and I second that idea.

I knew a guy who opened a brick-and-mortar shop, that only sold CDs of shareware, which wasn't nonsense in 1994

Testing if I can start a #monsterdon thread from here and reply to it on another account without having it show up in the local TL but also have it still show up in the monsterdon feed

so okay people were asking about my headcanon shit

I have a pointless amount of headcanon about this movie. Not the least of which being the IT crowd shutting down everything as fast as they can in order to get the situation under control, followed by slowly picking the pieces back up and putting shit back together.

And when they're doing that they find out that Computer has been fucked up for a while. Like, seriously for a while, and that's why there are big sections of the city which are broken and so on.

So. What was supposed to be happening?

A good example of how headlines differ from stories. The difference is usually due to layout/headline writers being different from the reporter, and they either fail to read the story or "spice it up" by misrepresenting the contents.

Headline is:

"Divided Washington state to choose Biden or Trump: ‘Everything seems a mess right now’"
