I'm on my fifth warning I think, and it's just... normally snowing outside?

I think the range for phone emergency alerts are hilariously bad. I got woken up at 4 am a couple weeks ago because some guy shot a cop and fled on foot about 15 miles away. I don’t think I’m technically in the counties in the squall warning but it still told me.

Worst landing I’ve had was at sfo. Plane touched down super hard, bounced, then throttled up for a go around. Thankfully second attempt was better.

Also I am now officially on vacation! Originally my partner and I were going to go to Italy but we cancelled our tickets in January when Omicron got bad so now it's a staycation with possibly a trip to Portland to relax and check in on my mom, sister, and brother (if he's out of jail). Either way we'll be going back that way soon anyway for a variety of reasons but part of it is also to try talk to my brother about going to rehab or going down to the Siletz reservation in Oregon since he's enrolled and his other grandma and sisters are there and want to help.

The charm of the original is so tied to its griminess, low budget, and 70s-ness that I can’t imagine good modern version of it. It’s not like the concept and character of Leatherface is some deep well of content.

Crisp, clean HD is doesn't work with TCM, the film should look and feel gross, there are some cool kills but there's also a moment where a bunch of "influencers" are just filming leatherface with their phones and a guy says 'You're cancelled bro"

I have awful, awful flight anxiety that Ativan does nothing to curb. I had a full blown full on panic attack during a bad batch of turbulance flying across India and it was one of the most embarassing things I have done as an a adult. I have no idea where or how my brain latched on to "if you sleep/relax/don't distract yourself the plane will crash and you will die" but it's there and it sucks.

I never really had flight anxiety until I got married, and it ratcheted up to 11 when we had our daughter. The first and only trip we’ve taken without her (coviiiiiiiid :argh:) I had the nearest I’ve had to a panic attack the week before because I’d convinced myself we were going to orphan her. Not like overtly, but just a big impending doom feeling.

We are all flying together this fall to Colorado and im sure I will convince myself that’ll be a deadly disaster too—much like I start financial planning in my head the one time a year I buy a power ball ticket.

That episode of the Simpsons where Marge freaks out as the plane gets ready to leave feels like a snapshot from my actual flying experiences. My partner and I went to Brussels for Christmas in 2019 and it took a lot of hand holding to keep me from jumping out of my seat.

I was also all over the BigJetTV last night, saw somebody mention he wrote in chat “The S*n can do one” so I suspect the channel operator is a good ‘un.

The new airport is gigantic and on an island away from the mainland. It used to be on the peninsula in that little inlet just north of the G in Kong island.



The bridges connecting the airport to Lantau and to the mainland are also absurdly gigantic double decker bridges with a train line on them.

All that I’ve read about the Kai-Tak approach sounds absolutely harrowing and not the kind of thing you’d like to experience regularly. Some utterly wild photos from that too.

The ‘city’ airport in Tokyo, Haneda, also early in 2020 opened up a new flight path going over the city for arrival (everything previously was over Tokyo Bay) so you can see planes coming in from parts of Shinjuku or Shibuya areas, but they’re not that low at that point. Where I used to live was later on the path and they were…much lower.

But really, at a kid / teen with lovely casette tape players, the cheapest headphones and a bag full of library books for those trips... the only thing I'd say was, if I'm gonna die, let it be a crash on takeoff, because I went through 20 loving hours of this to get here.

All of those king cakes look like trash, but I'd go with the cream cheese because hopefully the filling kept the cake moist. The fact that they used sprinkles instead of colored sugar is a very bad sign. The vanilla creme one is an abomination.

Remembering a coworker who had a psych masturbate to completion in the ambulance and the cops wouldn’t take report for sexual assault.

Also all the times I’ve been kicked and punched over the years. Or had to physically hold down people who were trying to bite me and my partners while the cops refused to help.


Roofing is a more dangerous job than policing, as are a fuckton of other trade jobs. Most cop deaths are from MVAs anyhow. And Covid is the biggest killer of cops anymore.
