A former employer of mine had "Jedi knights" and a "Jedi council." Not being a Star Wars nerd, I rolled my non-functional eyeballs so hard.

Kinda salty about being shorted an hour this weekend.

My dad's dad was a chemistry professor, then went to work for DuPont, my dad's mom was an 1st grade teacher, my mom's dad worked in a refinery then opened his own business rebuilding automatic transmissions.

Considering putting together a resource on building accessible tables. I know they're often a headache, but it's something I got really good at during my years working in academia. #a11y

Sometimes, instead of rotisserie, I'll use lemon pepper chicken quarters in the salad. HEB (I do live in Texas) sells them and they're so good.

A solid go-to lunch for me is a bag caesar salad with some shredded rotisserie chicken.

I once worked with a designer who insisted that links don't need to be underlined. I asked how will people know where the links are?

Most of them know I say stuff like that and laughing is encouraged. My favorite is the occasional deadpan "no" response to "can everyone see my screen?"

Actual thing I said in a meeting today: "I call things like I see them. So, not well."

I really liked them the few times I flew them DFW-BPT back in the day, especially if I had a seat on the single seat side.

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

Went to a serial killer speakeasy tonight, basically 4 actors giving performances talking about serial killers with cocktails. It was pretty different and a good time.

So many times I've wanted to write about the sad state of passenger assistance, but John did it way better than I ever could have.

I've got no idea about EU regs, but if nothing else I'd think there's an ethical responsibility to disclose.

Makes me wonder how many outlets out there are doing that and not disclosing.

I know from experience that beagles can bring all the chaos.

my uncle runs a place in Anchorage that serves fish and chips, and he named the half portion the "Texas size" which is just an incredible troll

Just got my new passport in, now itching to go break it in somewhere. Also, the whole online renewal thing was super-painless and I had the new one in my hands in a little over 2 weeks. Not bad.

The only keynote I planned on catching is @habengirma.bsky.social. Whenever I get around to watching recordings, that is.
