"This week, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a new rule requiring airlines to make bathrooms more accessible for disabled people. All new single-aisle aircraft will be fitted with fully-accessible lavatories.

Most flights inside the United States are single-aisle and as technology has improved, they are used more frequently for long flights, including coast-to-coast trips that can last as long as six hours. Double-aisle plans are already subject to the regulation but are primarily used for international flights.

Out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced the new regulations, saying, “Traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about being able to access a restroom; yet today, millions of wheelchair users are forced to choose between dehydrating themselves before boarding a plane or avoiding air travel altogether.” ...

The secretary has made it a priority to improve service on airlines during his tenure. In 2022, six airlines were forced to pay millions of dollars in refunds to hundreds of thousands of customers and were also fined millions for causing the issues. The department’s firm stance on the side of customers has continued through this year after multiple companies have had meltdowns, stranding thousands of travelers.

All planes delivered to airlines starting in 2026 must include several upgrades. Planes already in service will not need to be retrofitted unless the plane is renovated.

“These aircraft must have at least one lavatory of sufficient size to permit a passenger with a disability (with the help of an assistant, if necessary) to approach, enter, and maneuver within the aircraft lavatory, to use all lavatory facilities, and leave by means of the aircraft’s onboard wheelchair if necessary,” the DOT said in a statement.

Accessible faucets and controls, grab bars, accessible call buttons and door locks, minimum obstruction to the passage of an onboard wheelchair, and an available visual barrier for privacy are also required upgrades."

Wayyyyyyy fucking overdue but I'll take it!! Also, very nice curb cut effect: We all get to be less miserable on airplanes, and older people don't have to worry as much about airplane bathroom fall risks.

i truly fucking cannot get over the image of brennan lee mulligan using the dozens of small screens surrounding him and his friends while they play dnd to play the video of him five years ago saying something integral to the campaign that they all completely missed. just the shit eating grin on his face surrounded by his own handiwork.

Was originally going to write this as a comment elsewhere, but uh. Have some thoughts on Double Life Scott and Pearl. This may be slightly controversial? If you disagree that's fine by me, we're all entitled to our own opinions, especially on topics with nuance! I usually find people going way too easy on Double Life c!Pearl and too hard on Double Life c!Scott. Was Scott a good person? A good soulmate, for that matter? No! But Pearl wasn't those things either. They were mutually abusive to one another throughout the season. I will say that I think Pearl was less bad, but there are so many people who just... completely dismiss Scott's end of things.

Scott: Caused harm to himself to harm Pearl (though at a consistently safe time to do so, at the start of the session, via a single axe crit), and spoke about Pearl quite awfully (calling her his "crazy ex", etc.) Pearl: Caused harm to herself (far more sporadically than Scott, via "tickles" from the powdered snow every now and then), and took unnecessary risks just because she could

Honestly, I don't blame Scott for "abandoning" her in the beginning. Like, for him, it would have been a reasonable assumption that she and Martyn would continue to stick together. Scott wasn't leaving her alone, he was leaving her with Martyn, choosing instead to stay with Cleo--the one who actually stuck by him while their soulbounds were off in the nether doing who knows what (which turned out to be gathering resources, even though the main resources you might want to go to the nether for, potion making supplies, are useless in a season where potions are banned). Scott is not to blame for Martyn's agency. It was Martyn who decided to blame Pearl (even though the big problem, the nether trip, was his idea), it was Martyn who left her alone. (Also, it may be worth mentioning that I'm pretty sure it was Cleo's idea for her and Scott to stay together? Please correct me if I'm wrong on that, again it's been a while.) (EDIT: Cleo did in fact suggest it! They said "We should form an alliance against them." It was a little bit of a joke, but they both seriously agreed to it. Still worth noting that it was Cleo's idea for them to stay together.)

Again, I feel the need to emphasize that c!Scott is not a good person. He becomes abusive to Pearl, who also becomes abusive, and they abuse one another from afar. Or when they talk to one another. They are awful to each other. It is a mutual thing, and I find that not enough people acknowledge that. They both suffered as the other's soulbound.

It's really, really important to remember that the Life Series--Double Life especially--is FULL of nuance when you look at it from a storytelling perspective. The Life Series has no real heroes, and no real villains. Only people doing their best to ensure the survival of their team and/or themselves. Scott and Pearl both had thoughts about what was best, and those thoughts clashed this season, leading them to clash with one another.

Really, I think that adds another layer to their ending. Scott, in his way, forgives Pearl through a show of loyalty and fairness he only gives to allies, conceding the true victory to her unprompted, and Pearl in turn forgives Scott. This only happens when there's nothing left but each other. They are finally on the same wavelength again, with no Cleo to sway Scott away from Pearl and no Martyn to deal the final blow to shatter Pearl's heart. It's just Gatekeep and Girlboss, truly together for a brief time, anger and animosity put aside. The Stars welcoming The Moon to join him in the night sky, where they can try again. Tilly death did they part, yes, but in parting they were set free from each other, and they were able to mend their connection on their own terms.

BIG WIN FOR THE 5 JORVIK WARMBLOOD ENJOYERS

I'm in love with your plane au. Out of curiosity, where did Vash get most of his scars from in it?

some of them are from before he got stuck in the plane, most of them are from armor piercing rounds and shrapnel that turned the plane into cheese :(

introduced a fun(gus) witch in dnd yesterday, alongside her fun(gus) wolf friend who took a few chomps out of the party first before she got there

The evolution of Kanao Kocho's dress

When we first see Kanao, she is wearing a special-made Demon Slayer Corps dress uniform, which consists of a pleated, long, purple skirt. Image below.

As we can see, there is barely any skin showing between her legs and the top of her boots. She is nearly completely covered. This symbolizes body image difficulty, which we know she has, as it was explored in several of the light novels, and in the anime. Kanao was starved from a young age, but was led to believe she was overweight, and ugly, which most likely stemmed her request to Shinobu and Aoi for a unique uniform. She had also seen Shinobu burn her first uniform (with the open chest, like Kanroji's) and she had seen Kanae politely hand it back and create her own with Aoi. This was most likely also a part of why Kanao chose to cover up, because she could not make her own decisions, and she had seen two of her sisters, people she looks up to, choose to cover up, which is most likely a contributing factor as to why Kanao wore a special-made uniform, sewn by Aoi Kanzaki.

But, that all changed after meeting Tanjiro. After meeting Tanjiro, she began to feel more confident in her body, and in her choices. After their meeting at the butterfly mansion, in which Tanjiro flipped her coin, and it landed on heads, leading her to make her own choices. After this happened, Kanao felt even more afraid at first, and even refused to go on missions for a couple days afterwards. But, when she began to realize what Tanjiro meant, and the freedom she had now, she began to use that freedom. She began even asking Shinobu for missions, unlike before, where she would be waiting for Shinobu to hand them to her. After she began asking and receiving, and successfully completing more missions, Kanao began to feel more confident and comfortable in her own skin. She then altered her uniform herself, making it with a slightly shorter skirt. This is seen in the first episode of the Swordsmith Village Arc. Picture below.

After Kanao starts to grow more comfortable in her body, she starts to wear the uniform pictured above. But, after Kanao found out about the growing feelings and affection between Genya Shinazugawa and Tanjiro Kamado, Kanao started to feel something she never felt before. In fact, it had been a long time since she felt anything. But Kanao started to feel jealous. Tanjiro and Genya had just been through so much together in the Swordsmith Village, while him and Kanao had just trained together. When Kanao found this out, she asked Aoi to alter her uniform again. Aoi asked what it was for, but Kanao wouldn't say, likely due to embarrassment. After Aoi altered it again, it became even shorter and tighter, emphasizing her bust and showing off her legs. Picture below.

As you can see in the above picture, most of her legs are showing, and the skirt is barely covering her backside. She did this most likely to catch Tanjiro's attention, and to drive Genya away, since Genya hated girls, and showing more of her body would most likely make him uncomfortable.

Everything I've talked about above is a great sign of growth for Kanao Kocho. Stay tuned for more!

F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #68

On March 3, 2007, an F-14D(R) Super Tomcat was delivered to the Fort Worth Aviation Museum in a Lockheed C-5A Galaxy to the Fort Worth Aviation Museum. On loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM) in Pensacola, Florida, this aircraft holds the title of being the longest serving F-14 Tomcat in the Navy having delivered on July 16, 1975.

While F-14 BuNo. 159600 was participating in the Tomcat’s final cruise a bulkhead would blow out during routine maintenance and the aircraft would spend most of the next few months in the hangar earning the nickname “Christine” after the Stephen King thriller.
