Somewhere in the friendly skies, two pilots decided that what air traffic control really needed amid the symphony of call signs, altitudes, and headings was a little feline flair. “Meow, meow.” Yes.

I recently stumbled across a statistic on LinkedIn, which, as we all know, is where facts go to speak in motivational quotes, claiming that 1 out of 2 people faces a barrier to hygiene in public restrooms. Now, I did not fact-check this. Just letting you know. But […]
