Morry Gash | AP President Donald Trump is nominating Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford to head the Federal Aviation Administration in the face of growing scrutiny following a series of crashes. Bedford, a pilot and industry veteran of more than 30 years, previously headed two other carriers and oversaw a significant expansion of Republic Airways. “Bryan brings over three decades of experience in Aviation and Executive Leadership to this critical position,” Trump said.

The couple took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of the devastation left behind after flames tore through their neighborhood. In the footage, their home could be seen brought down to ash and rubble. “Was supposed to be our forever home, but nothing lasts forever,” they wrote in the joint post’s cation. “Thankfully our family is safe, however other LA fire victims aren’t as fortunate.

Bryan Schutmaat’s Photography of the American West

Bryan Schutmaat’s Photography of the American West

Published by skeptic

Survivalists, drifters, and divorcées across a resurgent wilderness By Andrew Aoyama Photographs by Bryan Schutmaat November 26, 2024, 3:30 PM ET Drive far enough into Texas from the Louisiana border, and you’ll see the ground dry, the earth crumble into dust. Eventually, the photographer Bryan Schutmaat told me, the strip malls fade into the rearview mirror, the landscape opens, and the American West begins. Schutmaat has long been fascinated by the West; as he toured with punk bands in his teens and early 20s, he felt himself drawn to the region and its open space. His new book, Sons of the Living, documents a decade’s worth of more recent journeys through the West and features the hitchhikers and “road dogs” he met along the way. First in a Subaru Forester and then in a Toyota Tacoma pickup, Schutmaat would set out from his home in Austin and drive toward California. He’d weave from Interstate 10 onto the more isolated two-lane blacktop highways snaking into the remote reaches of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. When he …

Bryan Fuller, who previously created shows including Hannibal and American Gods, had been announced to head up the series when it was first commissioned in 2022. However, earlier today Fuller wrote on X/Twitter that he is parting ways with the project. “Adapting classic horror is something I have some experience with,” he wrote. “These shows require a vision that elevates and transforms, as well as delivers what audiences have come to expect, which is an ambitious and risky endeavor. It requires people to take the leap with me. “When it works, as with Hannibal, the results can be powerful for the storytellers and the audience. I couldn’t be more proud of the work my co-showrunner Jim Danger Gray and I were able to accomplish with our brilliant …
