Free Worst Ideas

@AlaskaAir So three spam messages pretending to be Alaska Air, yet nothing from the 24/7 care team? This is a real issue from a real Atmos member.

@AlaskaAir Is it not possible to manually void five figures of pending charges made by one of your agents on my credit card? Seems simple to do rather than make me wait 5 days for them to fall off, as I would think Alaska wouldn't try to borrow against my credit for free?

@utsuwakenshin @GgHagiai These are gorgeous!

@KenLayne His version of House of the Rising Sun still sounds pretty good in 2025.

David Johansen lived a good long life! New York Dolls are mostly remembered through the lens of 1990s CD re-releases of their long out-of-print debut. His solo career was respectable but Buster P. was regularly singing on SNL. Every city soon had a tux-wearing jazz/pop combo.

Buster Poindexter was much bigger than the NY Dolls. In the 1980s, young people wanted to dress up again, learn to dance, go out for cocktails & listen to good music by skilled players. Johansen made up Buster for fun, playing Mondays at Tramps. It's what the kids wanted.

@patriciajaydee Oh excellent. Aki basho here we come!

@freeworstideas I am not sure how often the Kyokai offers these delightful photo sessions, but they are pretty customary so my guess is they are held before all of the six yearly tournaments. The rikishi are now in Osaka, so this one was held as a pre-honbasho event there. 🙂

As a prelude to the March tournament, the Kyokai holds a Sekitori Photo Session where fans can have a (darling, darling) portrait of their kids and themselves with star of sumo. As always, some sekitori are more at ease with children. Kotonowaka holds that baby as if it's a muffaletta sandwich.

@patriciajaydee And also thank you so much for all you do with your account. It has really enriched my love of and appreciation for sumo!

@patriciajaydee Oh my gosh! My toddler (and I, of course) would love this. Do you know if this only happens during the lead up to the spring basho?

@amandafortini This is #2 for me behind gas powered leaf blowers.

People are just out here driving with LED headlights so fucking bright they BLIND everyone else on the road. Why are there no regulations about acceptable lumen levels on automobiles? It's mind-boggling! It's a truly dangerous and scary problem and it's getting so much worse.

Imagine working in tech.
