Plane crash in western India kills deputy state minister and 4 others

A private plane carrying a deputy chief minister has crashed in western India, killing the official and four other people. The aircraft, traveling from Mumbai to Baramati, crash-landed in an open field and burst into flames on Wednesday. The crash also claimed the lives of two of Ajit Pawar's staff members and two crew members. The aviation authorities confirmed there were no survivors. The reason for the crash was not immediately known. Television footage showed smoke rising from the wreckage in an open field. Pawar was a senior leader in state politics and part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling coalition.

Ajit Pai's focus on celebrity criticism is a smokescreen

Ajit Pai has a fixation on criticism from actors and singers. He's responding to them so he doesn't have to respond to everyone else.

"For years, #Comcast has been promising that it won't violate the principles of #net #neutrality, regardless of whether the government imposes any net neutrality rules. (...) But with #Republican #Ajit #Pai now in charge at the Federal Communications Commission, Comcast's stance has changed. While the company still says it won't block or throttle Internet content, it has dropped its promise about not instituting #paid #prioritization."

How NOT surprising...
