An epic week at @airtattoo #RIAT23 as always. Consistently blown away by the team who are without doubt the best of the bunch in UK ATC, handling complex and busy traffic of all descriptions with nothing more than pen, paper, phone and radio. #avgeek

Finally pulling the plug, here and on Instagram and Facebook. Here's hoping for blue skies soon.

I doubt I'll be posting here much, if at all, now. I've switched to the place with skies that are far clearer and more blue than this place. I'll probably keep my account due to all the DMs I get. Anyone wanting to connect I have the same username.

Good lord, an outright Putin apologist is named to be head of US national intelligence

I think it's probably time. I used to think of twitter as a place you came to set the record straight. That idea seems ludicrous now. @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

The third winter of Ukrainians protecting NATO from a coalition of all their enemies while NATO members enjoy cafe life and withhold weapons.

Russian state TV gloated over Trump's projected victory and boasted of Putin's slick move to help his preferred candidate by pretending to endorse Kamala Harris. “The new era has started. We’ll see what happens next.” https://t.co/2NOtYjsQtI

When I picked Tiny Human up from school, we talked about the election and she asked me, "how come men who are married to women can be sexist?" and it's a good question to be honest.

Stay critically minded. Stay open-hearted. Stay principled. Stay tolerant. Stay resilient. Stay engaged. Stay dynamic. Stay informed. Stay fierce. Stay brave, stay strong, stay loving. Darkness takes many forms, but so does light - and the world needs your shine more than ever ♥️

So if you're a 2020 denier, what's the new gospel, they just forgot to do it this time around?

future of democracy depends on the people googling "who is donald trump" at 9:30 AM on election day 2024

A soothing presence in the Twitter madness for the next few days Medium Girder Bridge

Men telling women what does and does not merit concern re women's rights - in a campaign where we hear voices advocating that women be stripped of the vote and ads are required to tell women they don't have to reveal their voting intention to their husband. We see you.

Tucker Carlson says "human forces" did not create nuclear technology. Instead, it was demons. "I have never met a person who can isolate the moment when nuclear technology became known to man. So, where did it come from exactly? ... it's very clear to me these are demonic."

If I have to keep seeing this AI horror-show, so do you.

New horror just dropped

This morning, the British Air Display Association has published its Annual Industry Review which is available in full to the membership. Our grateful thanks go to Gary Elson again for producing the review and to all the event organisers that contributed towards it. #airshows

Still one of the funniest things I’ve seen on here.

This is really something. Shenzhou 18 capsule reentry in front (on the left) and propulsion module burning up in the atmosphere behind

It's been brought to my attention that there's videos published on social media claiming I've made various statements about the US election, related to election integrity. These are part of a Russian disinformation campaign, and the quotes are fabricated, but it's nice to know
