- What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane by The Atlantic.
- Truist Sued by Credit Union Over Banks’ New Name by Bloomberg. I think it’s absurd a company can trademark a bunch of words such as Truliances, Truceratops, Truism and then claim they are similar to Truist.
- Hyatt/Bellagio Will Honor One Mistake Rate Reservation and Will Cancel Others by Will Run For Miles. This seems fair enough to me
- Flight Attendant Sent Crashing Into Ceiling by Violent Turbulence. Flight attendant was unharmed, but others suffered burns from the drinks cart. Good example for why you should always have your seat belt on when you’re in your seat.

Here are some of the most popular posts from past few days:
The 370 article is so wordy that it really needs a good ‘executive summary’ that the author(s) probably can’t produce.
Read the first few parts, shocked at how little info (that wasn’t already in all mainstream news years ago) it can provide in such great lengths.
Went directly to the last paragraph, still nothing about what the title would lead people to believe to be in the main body and conclusion other than an empty blame.
Maybe we should stop serving hot beverages on planes?
MH370? Wasn’t that the flight that had the Chinese surgeons who did transplants for the top CCP officials who thought they knew too much and crashed the plane?

Um, so, I know this blog has nothing to do with politics. So, to keep it short, basically, the Chinese Communist Party officials often go through organ transplants for reasons that are too disgusting to be mentioned here, and the organs may or may not be “legally” obtained (I use quotes because the law isn’t a thing in China). A number of people linked to the organ harvesting were put on that flight and were silenced via the crash.
There are plenty of Chinese prisoners who are used for organ transplants and plenty of Chinese doctors willing to do it.
No need to invent some nonsense, when the reality is simpler and just as grim.
Due to biological reasons, certain ethnic groups are better “donors” than others. Why do you think Xinjiang is the way it is right now? Just because you are not award of certain facts doesn’t make them invented nonsense.
Filming during the turbulence is dangerous. The phone can get knocked off and hit someone in the head!

Thanks for the link about MH370.
For the passengers’ sakes, I hope that death was as “calm” as suggested in the article.
Simply unbelievable, but yet believable.
This is a few weeks old, but I just learned that Blispay has been acquired by the parent company of Comenity: https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-in-the-News/OMG-News-on-Blispay/td-p/5621747
I can’t believe someone would WANT to claim they are linked to the word “Truist”
If it means they can sue for “compensation from losses already incurred” of course they will! Not sure how they’ve incurred damages in the week it was just announced, but I have no doubt they’ll find a few billion somewhere. I am more amazed that another financial institution had already thought of a similar made up name.
With 12,000+ separate banks/CUs in the US, some of which have changed names several times, that is a lot of names to potentially overlap.
But there are lots of businesses with the same names that serve different markets. Just a couple days ago I was looking up a real estate company in Texas, and the first result was a real estate company by the same name in Tennessee. To my understanding, there’s no legal issue in situations like that as long as one of them doesn’t decide to expand into the other’s territory.

That would be an even more interesting story 🙂
Lol, I’m an idiot
