In WW2, the WASPs flew more than 12,000 trips to ferry military aircraft of all types to the front linesB-29s, P51s, all of them. Now they are combat pilots and very good ones. Pete the Kegger is a disgrace
This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

We deserve the truth ESPECIALLY if makes us sick
🇺🇸🧐Epstein case revelations: U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stunned Newsmax after reviewing the unredacted Epstein documents: “It’s far darker than anyone could have imagined: emails about torture, constant references to ‘consumption,’ a place literally called the ‘Cannibal Restaurant,’ and code words like ‘jerky’ and ‘human meat’ being tossed around as if it were nothing.” Yes. She directly asked whether we are dealing with cannibalism. With literal human consumption. This is no longer some fringe theory. A sitting member of Congress is openly saying what no one else dares to say: these monsters not only abused and trafficked children — they may have eaten them as well. And the women? Ghislaine Maxwell, Rachel Chandler, and an entire network of female predators were deeply involved in delivering children into this nightmare machine. This isn’t “elite pedophilia.” This is satanic depravity. This is ritualized evil in suits and private jets. The documents are so horrifying, she warns, that the public may not be ready for them. But you know what? We are more than ready. We are furious. Enough redactions. Enough excuses about “national security.” Enough protecting these flesh-eating demons. Release every page. Name every name. Burn their world down. The American people deserve the truth — even if it makes us sick. Especially if it makes us sick.

38,000 times? That seems like a lot. Is it a lot? Seems like it. 38,000 times.
Last week I did the same and had problems with my account for days. It didn’t stop Me from mentioning trump and how he’s in the Epstein files at least 38,000 times and there is a credible rape accusation in them with him & a 14 year old little girl

To the DNC in the US, and the Labour Party in the UK: We already know what the GOP and Tories/Reform want to do. You’re supposed to oppose those efforts, it’s your job. Do it. Do it better. This is a pivotal moment in history and AI is a catalyst. Do your job. Please

The dogs were NOT good last night. Led by Hooligan the Husky, Golden Boy and Blend refused to settle down. As usual I took Hooligan out for her last (maybe, YMMV) potty break. Well, she got into the bedroom and immediately demanded to go out again. Golden Boy and Blend went too

First they started scrapping, & then Golden Ball broke out. Then Blend pestered Hooligan, so she’s howling in protest. Now, Golden Boy is in the middle of the yard barking at the moon. Anyway, would you recommend Facebook or Craigslist, & how much should I be prepared to pay?

“Trump tries to clean up one mistake with a new, more innovative mistake.”
The reason I believe this war with Iran has to stop now is because every day Trump tries to clean up one mistake with a new, more innovative mistake. Every day we get deeper into a quagmire.

Doocy: You said: they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation? Trump: Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…

“developers found creative new ways to create worse ones”
Replying to @Steph3nSims
Every time we automated a class of problem, developers found creative new ways to create worse ones. AI isn't ending cybersecurity. It's just upgrading the chaos we have to deal with.

Red Robin. “The stock went from $92 to $3.61. That’s what happens when you optimize for the quarterly earnings call instead of the customer walking through the door.”
Red Robin is a case study in how to kill a restaurant chain from the inside out. In 2015, the stock hit $92.90 per share. Revenue peaked in 2017 at $1.4 billion across 573 locations. Families loved the place. Bottomless fries. Birthday parties. “Gourmet” burgers when that word still meant something in casual dining. The brand had real equity. Then management panicked about rising minimum wages and made the single worst decision in the company’s history: they fired all the bussers. January 2018. CEO Steve Carley cut bussers across every location, eliminated expeditors, and replaced kitchen managers with generic “back-of-house” roles. The logic was pure spreadsheet thinking. Labor costs were rising, so remove labor. The savings looked great in quarterly earnings. The second and third order effects were catastrophic. Tables stopped getting cleared. Wait times ballooned. Walkaways increased 85% year over year. 75% of the dine-in traffic loss came during peak hours, the exact window when the restaurant makes money. Ticket times out of the kitchen jumped a full minute on average. Customers who waited 20 minutes for a table and another 20 for a burger stopped coming back. Red Robin’s own CEO at the time, Denny Marie Post, admitted the damage was self-inflicted. And here’s the compounding problem. While Red Robin was gutting its own service model, it simultaneously launched a “Tavern Double” value menu at $6.99 to drive traffic. Orders of the cheap burgers jumped from 9% to 15% of all orders, which cratered the average check. So Red Robin was now serving worse food, slower, in a dirtier restaurant, at a lower price point. That combination is how you enter a death spiral. Meanwhile, 16% of locations were in malls. Mall traffic was already declining. Those locations saw 5.5% sales drops versus 3% at standalone stores, dragging the whole system down. Management acknowledged the problem quarter after quarter and did nothing about it for years. Five CEOs in 10 years. Think about that. The one leader who provided stability, Michael Snyder, was with the chain from 1979 to 2005. After that, it was a revolving door. Every new CEO launched a new turnaround plan. Every plan was abandoned by the next CEO. The North Star plan. The First Choice plan. New menu rollouts. Loyalty program reboots. None of it addressed the core issue: they’d trained an entire generation of customers to think of Red Robin as the place where the service is terrible. The contrast with Chili’s makes the failure even clearer. Kevin Hochman took over Chili’s in 2022 and did the opposite of what Red Robin did. He simplified the menu, invested in operations, launched a $10.99 “3 for Me” deal that went viral on TikTok, and let the food speak for itself. Chili’s just posted 31% same-store sales growth. Red Robin’s comparable revenue was down 1.2% for all of 2024. Both chains were in roughly the same position three years ago. One chain invested in the customer experience. The other spent a decade cutting it. Red Robin’s $65M market cap and Chili’s $3.3B market cap tell you which approach works. The stock went from $92 to $3.61. That’s what happens when you optimize for the quarterly earnings call instead of the customer walking through the door.

The Brits did invent English and Lordy they are good at it. “To call Melania vapid would do a disservice to the plumes of florid vape smoke that linger around British teenagers.”
Replying to @Daractenus
The Independent: "To call Melania vapid would do a disservice to the plumes of florid vape smoke that linger around British teenagers. [...] The First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda. Even then [as propaganda], it is bad."

“Casual misogyny snowballs and contributes to violence against women”. Amen.
I am a victim of violent sexual assault. Most of my friends and family do not know about this, but now you do. A single moment in my life has affected every relationship I have ever had, my ability to function as a normal human being at times, and has been with me every moment of every day for more than a decade of my life. It changed my political beliefs - and while it gave me an unprecedented amount of empathy, it has also shaped a frustration and anger towards the constantly growing misogyny and those who harbor and nurture it. I’ve lost my faith and regained it so many times I can’t even count, but I pray every day that another generation will be freed from dangerous rhetoric and discourse that only seems to build. Casual misogyny snowballs and contributes to violence against women, whether you want to believe it or not. Having concern for the landscape women, minorities, and other disenfranchised groups exist in is not what so many want to reduce it to here, and in actual real life - it is more important now than ever. Maybe this means nothing to you, or you even completely dismiss it, I know many people will. I was someone who never understood until it affected me, so I get it. But if this gets through to anyone who it may have needed to, having the balls to post this meant something.
