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.)

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

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

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. 🤯😍

I've been meaning to mention for a while, and today's as good a day as any - a while back you mentioned a fundraising drive for @eff.org. I'd long ago lapsed in my support, so I re-upped. I got my membership card (how quaint!!) in the mail a while later, and it was surprisingly delightful:

Know a college student looking for a leg up as they start their semester? Tell them to give DormWay a look: email class syllabus to syllabus@dormway.app and they'll get a full analysis of the class schedule, workload, and more. More info here: syllabus.dormway.app (Full disclosure: I'm an investor)

several years ago we stayed at a rental house in Hawaii. This greeted us on the kitchen table. Aloha! (Also, am I the only one who thinks about the old Steven Wright joke about the light switch after seeing this?)

won't lie, this took me a few reads before I understood that I could *cancel* my reservation up to 24h ahead of time, but I won't get any money back (right?)

my post about using a coat hanger to clip hotel curtains shut went inexplicably viral and Twitter's PR team (LOL, for real, they actually once had a PR team, before, well, you know) printed it out, framed it and sent it to me
