Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
You can take the Dollar Tree over my cold dead body. That place is amazing for cheap stuff and decorating 3 year old birthday parties!

Facebook Launching Libra, Digital Currency w/Visa, MasterCard, eBay, Uber, dozens of others
I was just thinking, Facebook probably needs to pivot or else they will be dead in 20 years (Not Facebook the Corp. with it's portfolio like whatsapp and insta and many others, but the legacy social media platform as we know it now). I guess this is as good a way as any?

The movie you just watched
It had a pretty amazing cast: Brolin and Clooney obviously, but Jonah Hill, ScarJo, McDormand obviously, Channing Tatum, Wayne Knight(!), Tilda, etc.

Finally saw Crazy Heart on a plane today. Who wore it better? Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born or Bridges as Bad Blake?

Gunman attacks Dallas Federal Building
I think we (Texas) will spin this as a meme of “mass shooters in Texas/Dallas can’t compare to our bad asses and locals and LEO like hippie New Yorkers who let their kids get shot”

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
The last 5 flights I’ve taken since my MSP debacle, only minimal disruptions and delays. Also maybe coinciding I’ve been upgraded to first class 3 out of 5

The movie you just watched
Hail, Caesar. Was expecting a better story or movie or something. Brolin was really good here but the story wasn’t very compelling. I’d call this a rare miss from the Coen Bros.

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
AA had the good manners to tell me my 6:00am flight to for tomorrow is cancelled. I have a 10a meeting that is a must to attend and luckily the city is only 5 hours away; every Avis/Hertz/etc. is closed except the ones at my local airport, so I take an Uber and go pick up a vehicle and am looking forward to a 5 hour drive tomorrow. I'd take my own car and just charge the mileage and fuel, but I have a flight from there to NYC and will be flying back home directly from LGA. Plus I've already been upgraded to first class to LGA, so I drive tomorrow

The movie you just watched
Murder Mystery: Netflix original with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. I enjoy all the crappy NFLX originals; I'm the only one I know who actually liked Sandy Wexler, so my opinion doesn't count and is clearly biased with these fun films. The Mule: My parents saw this and said it was meh, everyone I talked to said it was meh, so I was pretty low expectations going into it and thought it was pretty solid. I just thorougly enjoy Clint Eastwood being a crotechety old man and inadvertantly saying racist things or asshole things because he's just old with no filter.

Did y’all hear about the one where the guy who wrote Amazing Grace was a slave trader?

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
I have a meeting on 5th ave. which is an hour long with a hard stop. I had to fly out of mega Delta country (MSP) and thought there was a good 50-60% chance I’d miss the meeting entirely due to AA, but it looks like both legs will be On Time even with “weather” in PHL. Delete this thread and ban me!

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
Dare I say I’m in an AA flight leaving on time without delay? It’s always good being first flight of the day for mechanical reasons I suppose...

Donald Trump 2019

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
I actually feel bad for people who have to sit in main cabin and back of plane; that’s a rough way to spend an afternoon and around people who do ridiculous things.

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
AA thinks they are so smooth. 4 hour delay last night due to mechnical reasons (probably slow rolling due to mechanics union as suggested upthread). I called before the final departure update (which was another 45 minutes delayed) and the offering at that time was $100 travel voucher-- which seemed light-- or 7500 miles. I told her no thanks, I'll wait until i land and call back. I call back when I land and AA had tried to proactively credit everyone 5000 miles. I explain that 5000 miles was less than what was being offered before the threshold of 4 hours was crossed in the delay and that it was a crappy thing to do to people who don't know their entitlements for vouchers/miles based of mechnical delays. Get transferred around, hung up on once, and finally reached someone who gave me $100 and 7500 miles, though to be fair, the points are worthless if they aren't EQMs. I still think $100 voucher is scheisty as I thought 4+ hours was automatically $200, but it was late and I was tired of fighting with them and I did get to suffer through the delay in 1st class, so whatever.

2.5 hour delay after boarding; at least first class seat but gosh, never on time.

Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
Curious! Quote for the its going down site : “Having given up on Trump, and presidential candidates in general in some cases, many people on the Alt-Right are “ironically supporting Yang” because they say they just want the free $1000 per month (from his platform focused on a universal basic income) to fund their attempts at activism. The funny Yang Gang slogan, ripe opportunities at endless Yang memes, the fashwave aesthetic of Yang’s hats, and the irony of white supremacists appearing to back an Asian candidate are all factors that have combined into a large support base for Andrew Yang by the Alt-Right.”

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
Again, flying out today with a confirmed upgrade to first class in hand. if it gets cancelled, I'll be crestfallen. Have tight connections to make it to meetings later this week in MSP and LGA and I can't afford delays. Wish me luck. Also, one of the benefits of exec plat is the AAdvantage line to get rebooked and not wait in lines like I've seen in CLT where there are 300 people waiting to get rebooked. Misery.

Hut's finally closing
Went once in a decade of living in Austin. Wake me up if they close down Dirty Martin's and El Patio. That's my Old Austin, too.

I fly out tomorrow and have already been upgraded to first class. If it cancels, I will be beside myself. Beside myself I tell you!

Fit Shaming, Fat Shaming and Body Positivity in general
6'1, 205 lbs is about as perfect a phenotype as a man can get. @ me or fight me if you disagree, skin-and-bones and/or fattyboi.
