☆ I taught at TOPGUN, and the flying and dogfighting seen in the 'Top Gun' movies are pretty darn realistic

They worked in collaboration with the United States Navy, and all the flight scenes you see in both movies are pretty darn realistic. But the most demanding part of being a TOPGUN instructor for me wasn't the actual flying, like you see in "Top Gun" and "Top Gun: Maverick," but the lecture process as an instructor. You're flying every single day, Monday through Friday, and in many cases, twice a day. Depending on how dynamic your mission is — meaning how aggressive and fast you're flying — you'll likely be airborne for about an hour, doing basic flight maneuvers and the dogfighting you see in the "Top Gun" movies. As an instructor, you're having a real direct influence and ability there.

☆ Trump and GOP Rep. Gosar suggest Joint Chiefs boss Mark Milley deserves death

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump and Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona suggested that outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley is a traitor who deserves to be executed. Milley in September 2021 told Congress he had made it clear to Chinese officials that Trump was not planning to attack China in his final weeks as president. "My task at that time was to de-escalate," Milley told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung," Gosar wrote. Gosar also called Milley, a four-star general with more than four decades of military service, a "traitor."

Elizabeth Holmes hasn't paid back over $25 million to creditors of her former Theranos company as she tries to delay her 11-year prison sentence, according to a lawsuit. According to the breach of contract suit, Holmes executed three promissory notes while she was CEO of the failed blood-testing company. The promissory notes were as follows, according to the lawsuit:August 2011 in the amount of $9,159,333.65. Holmes founded Theranos in 2003 after dropping out of Stanford, with the promise of revolutionizing the healthcare industry.
☆ Elizabeth Holmes guilty of 4 counts of fraud, acquitted of 4 in Theranos trial

Of the 11 charges, Holmes was acquitted on all that related to defrauding patients and one count of conspiracy. In total, Holmes was found guilty of defrauding investors of nearly $145 million. Federal prosecutors have said Holmes duped investors into supporting a product she knew was faulty, particularly as Theranos began to teeter on bankruptcy. Balwani, who faces his own charges and a separate trial, did not speak at Holmes' trial. Defense attorney Kevin Downey asked Holmes to recount the early days of Theranos, as she sought advisers through the Stanford community, developed a business plan, attracted investment and — she thought — “nailed” expectations.
