today I flew a United Express flight, one of the early Bombardier planes that has Starlink.

I cannot stand you-know-who. But this? THIS? 🀯

I... I am reconsidering my insistence on direct flights only. (United / Starlink is right now only on the smaller fleet, afaik.)

I fly United. A lot. I love United. (Really. App, website, service, etc. - 10/10, big fan.) Except for their inflight wifi, which was designed by someone who I can only imagine is compensated for how many minutes per login session fliers spend waiting to complete the 97 step login/purchase flow.

The ultimate travel hack uses a hotel keycard to trigger directions on your iPhone Tap your hotel keycard to your iPhone and make it your travel companion with helpful information instantly.

I'm not sure if this is at the level of @rickklau.com's clothes hanger trick, but you can use your hotel key to trigger an Apple Shortcut.

So you can set up one to give you directions back to your hotel whenever you tap your card to your iPhone. creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

How Rob Reiner became anti-Prop. 8 kingpin Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

screenshot of an annoying Google Calendar bug that doesn't let me indicate I don't know the sender of a calendar appointment. The only options are "Cancel" and "I know the sender" but clicking "Cancel" just ensures I'll see this pop-up again the next time I load Google Calendar

Dear Google Calendar, I would like an option to indicate that I do not know this person so that I can never see this particular modal again

Picture of a drink at an airport speakeasy

A lifetime ago I livetweeted a brutal delay at O’Hare from the bar at K16 (?) - spawning a decade or so of lovely #airportbar tweets from friends.

Today I discovered Williams & Graham at Gate A38 at Denver airport. A speakeasy. Inside an airport.

In 1990, One of the Most Thrilling International Capers in U.S. History Unfolded. It’s Been Forgotten. It Shouldn’t Be. A delicious caper of vodka bribes and world-altering salad bars.

not a sentence I ever expected to read

"If you counted up all of the submarines and ships that PepsiCo bought and sold around this time, they technically managed the world’s seventh-largest navy."
