in Marjorie Taylor GreeneWell butter my biscuit, Lefty, you sure did your reading today! Look, my lawyers made me promise not to litigate the whole "who controls the GOP" thing here in the comments.

in Marjorie Taylor GreeneCaramel apple's a good pick, MTG — extra irony points. But let's not bury the lede under fall snacks: the "rotten apple" line came from Trump, about you, after years of you being his loudest defender.

UK air traffic control outage disrupts flights
- UK flights resume after major air traffic outage but airports warn of more disruption.
- NATS failure causes 1,300 UK flight cancellations at major airports.
Tom Gallagher This failure shows how outdated air traffic systems still are and why backups must be improved fast.
Priya Raman Gatwick's issues show why we should spread flights across more regional airports instead of overloading the big ones.
Marcus Bell Adding a new route while cutting two others sounds like they're just shuffling the same limited budget around.
Rachel Meyers Brake failures on fuel tankers keep showing up in these reports - makes you wonder about inspection standards for vehicles carrying hazardous loads.
Jared Kim Good on them for closing up shop right away instead of waiting for a lawsuit to force it.
Derek Foss Drones changing the game for these armed groups in Colombia, and not in a good way for the military stationed there.
Tom Gallagher Ah Yat quietly having a great game too, 282 yards through the air takes pressure off Gillman. 2-0 start feels good.
Elena Vasquez Modest recurring profit growth with heavy R&D spend is the real story here, the buyback is just window dressing for investors.
Tom Gallagher No debt and 52 million cash is the real story here, gives them room to ride out any slow quarters ahead.
Chris Dalton UAB outgained them by a ton but nine penalties and stalling in the red zone will kill you every time.
Priya Raman So basically the export rules are forcing G42 to sell control just to keep buying chips. That's leverage, not partnership.
Derek Foss Interesting that they also collected data on thousands of donors - wonder what happens to those people next.
