Watch the trusty MD-80 show off its old-school 'power-back'-using reverse thrust to back itself away from the gate! while most modern jets rely on tugs, the MD-80 (and its DC-9/727 cousins) had aft-mounted engines and reversible clamshell buckets that technically allowed it. But why don't we see this anymore?...

Robert Kennedy Junior says that the powers that be are jangling the keys of division to distract the American people from the fact that they are buying up Ukraine's farmland and that when he gets into office the payday for BlackRock and Vanguard will be over: "When we give the money to Ukraine we call it a loan. Nobody is going to pay that back. What it does it allows us to put the screws on Ukraine. We sign a contract with them that compels Ukraine to do certain things and one of things is to sell most of its assets for cash, including its farmland. Who do you think the biggest buyer is of that land? Why are we in this war? We know who is making the money from this war. They are doing it right in front of us. The strategy that allows them to get away with it is they keep us all at each others throats. Blacks against whites, Republicans against Democrats, Rural people against urban people. When the rulers of the castle, the king and queen look over the castle wall at the top and see all of their subjects fighting they go back to the dining room and they open champagne and they toast to each other. Because as long as we are all fighting each other we can't see what they are doing. It's like someone who is jangling keys. Look at these keys. And over here they are robbing the bank and nobody is watching them. I have my eye on them. When I get into that office the payday is going to be over for Blackrock and Vanguard."

🚨WHOA!!! Gravity Just Got Outmatched… Watch a C-17 Drop Out of the Sky Using Reverse Thrust Most people think giant cargo aircraft descend slowly in wide lazy circles. Not the American 🇺🇸 C-17. What you’re seeing in this footage is one of the most aggressive controlled descents ever engineered into a military aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster can actually deploy thrust reversers while still in the air… something almost no other jet transport can safely do. When those massive engines flip into reverse thrust, the physics of the aircraft changes instantly. Instead of the engines pushing the aircraft forward… they begin fighting the forward motion of the airplane. The result is dramatic. The aircraft can transition from flying nearly parallel to the horizon… to a steep nose-down descent that looks almost perpendicular compared to the Earth below. Pilots can drop altitude incredibly fast… going from high cruising altitude to landing approach in just a couple minutes. Why does this matter? Because the C-17 was built for battlefield logistics. It was designed to fly into dangerous airspace, descend rapidly to avoid threats, land on short or rough runways, unload equipment or troops, and get back into the air before anyone has time to react. That rapid descent capability allows the aircraft to minimize time exposed to enemy radar or missile threats. The moment the thrust reversers are disengaged, the aircraft stabilizes instantly and transitions back into normal controlled flight for landing. It’s a perfect example of American aerospace engineering. Four massive turbofan engines… flight computers… and aerodynamics working together to make a 585,000-pound aircraft move like a precision instrument in the sky. For people who have never seen reverse thrust used mid-air before… this footage is a rare look at how military airlift aircraft operate when seconds matter. It’s one of the coolest demonstrations of aviation physics you’ll ever see. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

This is the most powerful commercial jet engine currently flying on an operational airliner. The GE90-115B was built by GE Aerospace specifically for the Boeing 777-300ER. It weighs around 8.3 tonnes, has a 3.25 metre wide fan and produces up to 512 kN (115,000 lbf) of thrust from a single engine. To understand the sheer scale of that output, it produces roughly 2.7 times the thrust of the F135 jet engine powering the F-35, the most powerful fighter engine currently in service. The enormous fan at the front uses just 22 carbon fibre composite blades with titanium leading edges. At maximum thrust, it pulls in roughly 1.4 tonnes of air every second, with nearly 90% bypassing the core rather than passing through the combustor. At around 150 knots during takeoff, its 512 kn of thrust corresponds to roughly 39.5 MW of propulsive power, or in automotive terms around 53,000 hp from one engine. And it burns roughly 4-5 kg of jet fuel every second at maximum power conditions. Two of these engines are enough to power a fully loaded 777-300ER weighing more than 350 tonnes. Even if one engine fails after the critical point during takeoff, the aircraft is certified to continue the takeoff and climb on the remaining one GE90 engine. Each engine costs around $35-40 million. More than 2,500, GE90s engines have been built, and the GE90 family has accumulated nearly 130 million flight hours. And this is precisely why companies like GE Aerospace remain so difficult to displace in jet engines. There is never one breakthrough. GE spent roughly $2+ billion developing the GE90, chasing small gains across hundreds of systems, efficiency, materials, reliability and component life.

The Islamic regime in Iran is waging war on its own people. Thousands of protesters have been murdered, and a near-total internet blackout has been imposed so the world won’t see the brutality. But the Iranian people keep showing up anyway — risking their lives for freedom. This isn’t political dissent like we see in the West. This is a rebellion against an Islamist theocracy that has controlled every aspect of life for nearly 50 years. A regime that tells women what to wear, citizens what to say, and people what they’re allowed to believe — all enforced by fear, prisons, and death. Iran was not always like this. Before 1979, it was modern, secular, and connected to the world. Since the Islamic Republic took power, it has become the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — pouring billions into Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis while its own people sink into poverty and despair. That’s why protesters are chanting: We don’t care about Gaza. We don’t care about Lebanon. They want dignity at home. They want their country back. Women are removing their hijabs. Students are marching. The Iranian people are calling for regime change — and they need the world to stand with them. If you believe in human rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and freedom itself, this is the moment to speak up. To the people of Iran: you are not alone. We see you. We support you. Free Iran from the Islamic Republic.

Several people have messaged me about the Fire Dept getting dispatched to Columbia Metro shortly after 7pm for an aircraft emergency so here’s the ATC tapes of what happened with a little explainer below. An American Airlines regional carrier (PSA Airlines) operating flight 5108 from Reagan National (Callsign Blue Streak 5108) was on final approach and they received an EICAS message for “inop steering” so they broke off the approach at 7:04pm and went out and held while they worked through the issue. EICAS = Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System (think of this as the check engine light on your car, but a bit more advanced bc it will tell you what the issue is.) At 7:17pm they were done working the issue and advised they were ready to come back to the airport. The airport had emergency equipment standing by just in case there was an issue and at 7:28pm they touched down and rolled off one of the high speed taxiways and originally waited for airport ops to provide a tug to tow them to the gate, but the flight crew was able to use some differential thrust (using thrust from one engine to steer the aircraft) and they were able to safely get to the gate with no further issues. Shortly after 7:30pm airport ops had completed a fod check on runway 11/29 and advised everything was good and to show the runway back open. Fod = foreign object debris. Basically they checked to make sure the aircraft didn’t lose any parts when it landed. In the end it was about a 30 min delay but no one was hurt and everything is all good.

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.

🚨 MAN BUYS 80 PIZZA HUTS TO BRING BACK THE ICONIC VERSION AMERICA MISSED — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, owns more than 80 Pizza Hut franchises across the country, and he’s now turning many of them back into the old-school Pizza Huts millions of Americans grew up with. While most restaurant chains keep replacing everything with self-checkout screens, gray walls, and sterile modern redesigns… Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember: • red plastic cups • Pac-Man machines • packed salad bars • giant family booths • Tiffany-style lamps hanging over the tables And people are getting unexpectedly emotional over it. Some of these restored “classic” Pizza Huts are now becoming top-performing locations because customers say it doesn’t just feel like pizza anymore… It feels like stepping back into a completely different era of life. Sparks says the mission is bigger than nostalgia. He wants to rebuild places where families actually sit together again, put their phones down, and talk the way they used to. Now the internet is flooding the comments: • “This feels more human than modern restaurants” • “We didn’t realize how good we had it” • “This is what childhood felt like” • “Why does this make me emotional?” Some customers are reportedly driving HOURS just to eat inside one because they say modern restaurants lost the feeling that made people love them in the first place. Now people are asking: Did corporations deliberately turn restaurants into cold, forgettable spaces... because real human connection was never the priority anymore? 📹: CBS19

When Adam’s stock price dropped by 92% he borrowed money to buy back $6 billion in stock. That bet made the company more than $60 billion: “If no one's going to buy our shares why don't we just start buying our own shares? The company at the bottom was worth $3.8 billion. And we were generating over a billion dollars of EBITDA. Well in theory we could buy back 20% of the shares of the company just in the next year if we really believed in the path we were on. So we kicked that off. But we did it a little bit differently than what most companies do. Most companies go out and say I'm going to buy shares from the public markets and just take shares back. But you don't know who's on the other side of that trade. On the other hand we knew that we had a cap table where about 50% of the shares were going to sell at some point over the coming years. We had private equity investors that owned roughly 50% of the shares of the company alongside some other founders that were no longer there. So instead of going to the public we went to the shareholders that we knew were going to sell and got them to agree to sell back to us over time. And so for the following 18 months we ended up deploying around $6 billion of buybacks using our own capital and we leveraged some to buy back shares in the company. And over time that ended up creating somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 to $60 billion of actual proceeds from the buyback. It was one of the most successful buybacks in the history of companies.”
