Tab Clearing...
- Consumer price index continued its steady climb in September.
- Blue check? Nah, AI deepfake.
- Using your data to charge you more.

Verklempt.
I realized I hadn't seen the smiling happy couple in their little Citroën 2CV all year. The last time I think I got a photo of them tooling by was sometime last summer (obviously the car being probably garaged for the winters, here north of the Ohio river in the land of road salt.)
One of my internet car friends who lives in the Netherlands commented on the front license plate and so I googled it on a whim and... Oh, my heart. Truly this man is the Final Boss of Wife Guys.

Escalating.
"Knock knock.""Who's there?""Houthis.""Houthis who?""Houthis got your range."
King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has been tagged again, a day after a Houthi missile strike killed thirteen people and injured a bunch more after striking one of the terminals.
With the GOP facing a potential shellacking in the midterms, suddenly Trump isn't feeling very warlike, since it polls terribly with the voters, so the Saudis are probably on their own until early November.

Chibi Warthog
Because everything old is new again, sixty years ago the USAF was looking for modern attack planes suitable for the counter-insurgency mission and developed one from a trainer. The result was the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, developed from the T-37 Tweet.
I always loved the "Angry Tweet". The cutest thing about it was the 7.62mm Minigun in the nose. A friend who, being an infantryman, had a professional interest in ground support aircraft once said "They should have made it a Vulcan" which, of course, they couldn't because a 20mm Vulcan and its ammo drum would be nearly as big as the fuselage. (Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but still...)
