picked up a random library book and -_- i hope it gets better im not even halfway thru and i haaaaate it. i completely hate the writing style you can just FEEL how smart the author thinks himself to be, it grosses me out LMAO. it has the additional crimes of 1) being set in america AND YET i could tell 10 pages in that the author is 400% british due to the turns of phrases and grammar its just yucky disgusting <3 and 2) one of the protagonists is an 11 year old girl and im like she would not do that. she would not say that. the writing keeps oscillating between booboo for baby writing and then people exploding bc ~evil~ devil character and like. ok. im not going to look the book or author up until i finish it but maybe this is actually young adult LMAO
#i didnt read the back cover first which was my first mistake and my second mistake was not seeing the blurb on the front from neil gaiman.#it really feels it.#its easy enough to read so i wont dnf yet but if it keeps pissing me off i will -_-#also?? idk why this guy felt the need to write in opa-locka as a location but he sounds so fucking stupid.

airsLLide No. 5757: N2685W, Douglas DC-3C, International Air Supports Group, Opa Locka, March 22, 1991.
If it wasn't for the Gulfstream jet photobombing the background with its cockpit section, this could be the scene of a classic post-WWII airport ramp. The old wooden hangar perfectly matches the period when the Dakota ruled commercial aviation due to the sheer number of surplus military C-47s flooding the emerging air travel industry of the early 1950s.
N2685W is just one of these many former military "Gooney Birds". Built for the USAF in 1945 shortly before the war ended, she was quickly transferred to the Royal Air Force. She stayed in the UK for quite some time, flying as G-AMWW with various civilian operators, including Skyways of London, from 1952 until 1981 when she was sold to the US to fly with Miami-based B Airways.
Opa Locka was not the end of the line for her, by no means. Although her owner in the above picture, IASG International Air Supports Group, describes its business model as acquiring retired airliners for part-out and re-marketing of useable spares, N2685W remained registered with IASG from 1991 until 2017 when she was sold to Basler Aircraft in Oshkosh for a rebuild into a BT-67, i.e. a DC-3 fitted with PT6A-turbines and a stretched fuselage (the latter for weight and balance reasons). This conversion completed, she was sold - almost as good as new - to the Royal Thai Air Force. There, she serves to date with military serial '46159', as one of currently eight turbine-converted Dakotas used on surveillance missions.
Isn't that peculiar? Built as military transport for WW II, and after having served civilian users for over 65 years, she returned to military duties in 2017, at her young age of then 82 years!

Congresswoman Frederica Smith Wilson (Frederica Patricia Smith, November 5, 1942) is a politician who has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2011, representing Florida’s 24th congressional district. Located in South Florida, her congressional district, numbered 17th during her first term, covers a large swath of eastern Miami-Dade County and a sliver of southern Broward County. The district contains most of Miami’s majority-Black precincts, as well as parts of Opa-locka, North Miami, Hollywood, and Miramar. She gained national attention in 2012 for her comments on the death of Trayvon Martin. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
She is known for her large and colorful hats, of which she owns several hundred. She has gone through efforts to get Congress to lift its ban on head coverings during House sessions, which dates back to 1837. The rule was partially relaxed after the election of two Muslim women to Congress in 2018, one of whom, Ilhan Omar, wore a hijab to her swearing-in on January 3, 2019.
She was born in Miami, the daughter of Beulah (née Finley) and Thirlee Smith. She earned her BA from Fisk University and her MA from the University of Miami, both in Elementary Education. She served as the principal of Skyway Elementary School in Miami. In 1992 she left her position as principal to serve on the Miami-Dade County School Board. While a member of the school board, she started 5,000 Role Models of Excellence, an in-school mentoring program.
She married Paul Wilson (1963-88). She has three children. She is an Episcopalian. She is a member of The Links. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphakappaalpha

Former Syracuse player Brendan Paul arrested on drug charges, accused of being Sean 'Diddy' Combs' mule
Details.
Former Syracuse guard Brendan Paul was arrested Monday on two drug-related charges, per Miami-Dade (Florida) County police records. The arrest came as federal agents raided rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami amid an alleged sex trafficking probe, law enforcement told the Associated Press.
Paul was arrested at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on felony charges for possession of suspected cocaine and possession of suspected marijuana candy, per an arrest affidavit obtained by USA TODAY. The affidavit adds that officers found cocaine and edibles in Paul's travel bags. Paul was released on a $2,500 bond Tuesday, and he has a hearing set for April 24.
Despite the timing, this arrest was not related to Combs' properties being raided. Still, Paul's name has come up in connection with Combs' sex trafficking allegations.

I handed in my DG assignment (question 1, prove that the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold is always orientable... and that was like the easiest question) and now have three weeks of tensor bundles and riemannian metrics to catch up on. Before I get started preparing for the tutorial on Anal 1 (analysis 1 to the un-enlightened) that I have to teach tomorrow, I decided to read the Logan Sargeant article in GQ. It smelled incredibly fishy... like a product placement. The product is Logan himself.
So, I am going to write another version of it that gets straight to the point.
original article is accompanied by sexy photos
so if you think that logan is sexy you may enjoy them.
Below the cut. Meet Logan Sargeant, America's Great F1 Hope
translation : Meet Logan Sargeant, America's Great White Hope
Logan Sargeant is a 22-year-old American male. He has blonde hair, light eyes, a square jaw, and the sort of glinting crooked grin that will prove a threat to safe-feeling boyfriends on the several continents where F1 runs. translation: He's WHITE. Please think that he is hot.
While sitting in the living room of Mario Andretti last spring, I asked him about the prospect of a full-time American F1 driver in the near future, and he responded with a story that has stuck with me. About a decade ago, he said, he visited the Red Bull factory in England, and asked Red Bull team boss Christian Horner about some young American prospects: “And the rebuke I got was unbelievable,” Mario told me. “He said, ‘You know if you bring an American driver here, we’ll destroy him.’”
translation: He's disadvantaged by the mean Europeans for being Americans. Please support this smol bean.
But could an American driver overcome the biases by committing to their system and winning on their soil? When Logan left Florida for Europe after elementary school, he made that commitment all the way—and hasn’t really been back to the US to race since.
translation: look at the sacrifices he made by leaving the land of no human rights to go and stay in switzerland
Sargeant doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories, but his uncle is a billionaire, and his ascent to the summit of international racing did begin with a rich-kid Christmas present. Neither parent ever raced cars, but Dad decided to get the boys go-karts one Christmas because Mom didn’t like the dirt bikes they were riding. “It was honestly just about finding a new thing to have fun with,” Logan said. Five-year-old Logan and eight-year-old Dalton started taking their go-karts out to the track at Homestead and Opa Locka, just a weekend thing at first. But they got hooked. And each steadily overtook the competition in Florida and the Southeast. Win after win. “And so it was: OK, now what do we do to make it harder?”
translation: This is a rich person sport, which you are aware of. Logan is rich, we can't hide it because his family is in the billionaire class and has deep involvement in the murky politics of the America including bribery and uh, other stuff, that we will discuss. But um his family was not THAT rich. You can still feel good about rooting for him! He's not just an American Stroll/Latifi or good FORBID an American Mazepin
Logan finished up fifth grade in Florida while the family made their move to Switzerland. In addition to the racing opportunities, Dad had business there. (Dad’s company, it should be acknowledged, was taken to court a few years ago by the US Government for bribing officials in three South American countries to secure asphalt contracts. The company pleaded guilty and agreed to pay over $16 million in fines.) In Europe, Logan quickly began ascending through the ranks, traveling throughout mostly Italy to karting races on weekends. “I definitely felt like school was a lot more challenging than in Florida,” he recalled. “And we were missing a lot of school, for sure, but that’s part of it with racing. It is what it is.”
translation: ok. Yes, we admit it, the Sargeants are wealthy. And his father's company has been bribing government officials in South America and are doing such a large volume of business that they paid 16 million in fines. But let's just skip over that part. It's not really that important. The important part is that this young man who was financed by dirty money is just SUCH a young man and deserves your attention. Look, he missed school to race, look at his passion!
“We’ve been searching—in a little bit of a ditch trying to find out what we can do,” Logan told RACER in February 2021. “Try and find something in sports cars or I’d even consider Indy Lights [the support series of IndyCar]—that’s a really cool option.” Here he was, just two years ago, mapping out his retreat from formula racing in Europe with the press. Openly musing about his prospects in the lower ranks of American racing. The article that featured those quotes put an even finer point on things: “Logan Sargeant will not step up to Formula 2 this season and is unlikely to remain on the FIA path to Formula 1.”
translation: He almost missed the chance to be in F1.
But maybe that encounter with Pitt last year was even more meaningful to Sargeant than he even realized. Maybe those side knuckles were a blessing of sorts, an off-loading of expectation, a transference. Maybe it was Pitt communicating to Sargeant that he needn’t carry the weight of the sport in America alone, because he, Brad Pitt, would help do it instead. At least for a little while. Hollywood could take the spotlight while Logan Sargeant found his feet, clocked his hours in his race car, and proved himself to be the glorious mid-pack F1 driver we all know he can be.
translation: He's carrying all of America's hopes and dreamz
