Mid-Flight Exits and Robot Gun Rodeos | Negligent Discharge Friday | 7.31.26

No guest. Just Michael, a stack of conversation cards, and whatever the internet served up this week.

Opening cards: simple is not the same as easy, and failures are tuition payments, not a definition.

A flight instructor in Argentina jumps to his death mid-lesson. His student lands the plane alone.

The viral robot gun turret video. Reaction time, technique, and a full review of the dismount.

Big announcement: a full F-18 simulator is coming to the coffee shop. Aircraft carrier landing competition. $25 per entry. If you have ever flown an F-18, you are not invited.

The Blue Angels' 40-foot pass over Pensacola Beach, and why the investigation should be allowed to happen.

The Titan submersible documentaries. Carbon fiber, "seasoning," and 20 milliseconds.

Getting fooled by AI images and satire headlines.

A public meltdown caught on camera, and what a mental health crisis looks like from the outside.
