Trump’s FAA pick has claimed ‘commercial’ pilot license he doesn’t have. Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years erroneously stated in his Republic Airways bio that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

That’s an awful lot of words to say: “Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, lied for years about having a commercial pilots license.”

He lied. It’s clear. Call it lying.

Yes, but this will also call emergency services after, I think, ten seconds.

Make sure you cancel that call right away unless you actually need them.

Yes, that’s why they are protesting.

You should probably leave your own phone at home when you do. You don’t want the burner phone and your own showing up on the same towers at the same time. Turn the burner completely off when near home or your personal phone.

MAGA will reject and denounce America’s founding fathers before ever even try to understand what they were doing.

I’m betting they will drop all pretense of giving a shit about the American Revolution or the Constitution before this is over.

Egg color… round, oval? Are these colors only moths can see?

I went even further — I joined a nonpartisan organization as a legal analyst, advocating for parental rights in schools, against race-based affirmative action, and opposing radical gender ideology.

She’s a legal analyst for Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR). It is not nonpartisan and her degree is in Dance.

Ah, the Internet. Where we all get a platform whether we’re qualified or not.

It also effectively means they are reading those messages.

I registered but they don’t send a ticket or anything despite them saying it’s a reservation.

This might just be a ploy to harvest phone numbers and email addresses.

No troops have been deployed.

“Trump wants to deploy troops to look tough” is a better headline.

USA has gone completely insane.

Can’t blame them. The sign right there says it’s a car park.

This is who he is. Check out evolutionary psychology. He’s a proponent of this theory that has strong tendency towards racial biases.

This is who Pinker is as evidenced by his being a major proponent of evolutionary psychology.

Even in academia you will have bigots who will work really hard to legitimize their biases. Seems like they go harder on the bigotry research the older they get.

(As a side note: Vince McMahon sold his company to the same people who run UFC, and then was driven out of the company as the result of numerous scandals. He no longer has any ties to WWE, outside of ownership of about 3% of common, non-voting stock.)

I didn’t know that. Funny how the UFC owner is also in Trump’s inner circle.

Remember, Trumps employs the wife of and is personal friend of Vince McMahon, the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

This does look an awful lot like wrestling drama.

Every hardwood floor installer I’ve talked to recommended NOT using Murphys Oil Soap. The reason they gave was that it leaves a thin film which builds up over time. When it comes time to refinish the floor, that film makes it difficult and more expensive.

Depends on the material. I wouldn’t use that on hardwood floors, for example.

Most of the work is mechanical. Soap/alkalis help with grease/oils by making them mix in water. Dirt particles will stick to oils and go along. Acids will break up minerals, kill fungus/mildew and deodorize.

• Dirty, greasy areas: alkalis
• Mineral deposits, areas that have biofilms, mold, mildew: acids

All purpose: a little of both

Thrown a couple drops of Dawn^* in your mix for an all purpose cleaner. Just be careful where you use it. Leave out the acids for more delicate surfaces.

*I don’t mean to push certain brands but Dawn is cheap and good at what it does.

I once shit talked to coworkers about another coworker/supervisor. Except, by accident, I sent it to the coworker/supervisor.

Good times.
