@SouthwestAir My mom was stranded at MCO Thursday night after missing a non-SWA flight to RDU, was resigned to spending the night there, when a SWA agent helped her book WN2614 within 45 min of departure, called her gate & walked her thru security (she has a bad knee). THANK YOU!

@JKelz420 @TennisFanErik @keithcontreary @archeohistories Yapping I need a history lesson and then literally next sentence declaring America was not England's colony subject to its king before the independence war is something you should be embarrassed to put out on the internet, but not surprising given how I can tell you vote.

@58buru @TennisFanErik @keithcontreary @archeohistories Seriously you need a history lesson. The King of England was not the King of America. He was the oppressor. Like the Democrat party. Tax the hell out of its ppl., & then take away their rights.

Cheyenne, a nation of Plains Indians that have inhabited Great Plains and lands of present-day Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas since early 1800s. Today, they are federally recognised as two tribes: Southern Cheyenne of Oklahoma and Northern Cheyenne of Montana. They call themselves “Tsétsėhéstȧhese” (People) in Cheyenne language. At first European contact, Cheyenne was a tribe living in Minnesota. Their economy was based on bison hunting and collecting wild rice. By early 1700s they had been forced into Dakotas by other migrating tribes, where they embraced horse culture and introduced it to Lakota in 1730. They formed a close alliance with Arapaho from 1811. They played a role in pushing Kiowa further south and were themselves pushed further west by Lakota and Ojibwe. Cheyenne’s main group was comprised of ten bands stretching across Great Plains from South Dakota’s Black Hills to southern Colorado. These bands ultimately unified. Of all Plains tribes, Cheyenne were most notable for their war society, and they were powerful, skilled horseback warriors. Despite relatively small numbers, they were able to hold back or overcome their opponents and were of more concern to European pioneers travelling west than most other tribes combined (except, perhaps, for fearsome Comanche). War became a primary concern for Cheyenne; warriors were viewed by Cheyenne not as warmongers but as leaders and protectors. Their enemies were many, including Crow, Blackfeet, Shoshone, Plains Cree, Sioux, Pawnee, Nez Perce, Iowa, Omaha, Comanche, Plains Apache, Osage, and many others – but none more so than Kiowa and US Army. The name “Dog Soldiers” arose from Cheyenne legend that tells of dogs transforming into fierce and fearsome fighters. Dog Soldiers were one of six military societies of Cheyenne, and its most powerful, distinctive and aggressive. Founded in 1830s, they followed a very strict military creed and with extremely effective battle tactics, they commanded (and were accorded) respect similar to today’s Navy SEALs. Coming to prominence in 1800s as part of Indian resistance against American government’s expansionism, they were unequivocally hostile to their opponents. While other Cheyenne chiefs were open to diplomatic talks with white leaders, Dog Soldiers opposed all peaceful policies and chose war as their response. They came to undermine their own Chiefs’ authority and in 1860 refused to sign treaty that would have forced their tribe onto reservations. They were critical to Cheyenne resistance to expansion into their territory and were participants in many famous battles. Dog Soldiers were easily identifiable: they wore eagle-wing bone whistles suspended from a thong around their necks and large feather bonnets on which feathers of birds of prey were placed upright. Their belts were made from skunk skins. They were armed with bows and guns. Their songs were accompanied by a rattle in shape of a snake. Elite soldiers also wore “Dog Ropes”; these were sashes crafted from buffalo skin adorned with feathers, beads and porcupine quills and worn over right shoulder and under left arm. The very bravest of these warriors fringed their leggings with human hair (scalps). Soldiers were grouped with one leader per seven assistants, of whom four were chosen for their courage to lead in battle. In battle, each of these soldiers would stake his location to ground via his Dog Rope and remain pinned there until battle was over and another soldier released it. In 1865, Dog Soldiers were conducting various raids, particularly along Platte River. They were not controllable by their tribal Chiefs. In 1869, many of band were killed in Battle of Summit Springs. By mid-1870s, their power waned on great Plains as American expansionism overcame pushbacks. Society henceforth became a lot smaller and more secretive. To this day, society of Cheyenne Dog Soldiers still exists and some of these warriors continue to serve in US military. #archaeohistories

@tirerack I bought 4 tires from y'all with road hazard warranty. Got a tire blowout on a Sunday & bc I got a replacement from an 'unauthorized' nearby shop when I was stranded on the road, y'all declined to pay. Never again!

@JKelz420 @TennisFanErik @keithcontreary @archeohistories That's rich considering American settlers declared war on their own king ("independence"), amongst themselves ("civil" war), and on other European powers (Spanish war and "world" war). They literally fought people they found here, their own people that sent them, and each other!

@TennisFanErik @keithcontreary @archeohistories I accept the fact that Europeans won the war that was declared on them by war mongering Indian tribes, who couldn't & wouldn't even get along with themselves.

@Delta If you're only providing flexibility for flights going thru the 40 airports, does that mean your customers using other airports can expect uninterrupted travel? I'm sure not bc it's all connected, so not sure why they don't get to have the same flexible options?

Starting Nov. 7, the FAA has directed all airlines to reduce flights at 40 major U.S. airports. We expect to operate most flights as planned, including all long-haul international service, and our teams are working hard to minimize any impact on your travel while keeping safety our top priority. We’ll work to give customers as much notice as possible about any changes to their flights and are offering flexible options to change, cancel or refund flights to, from or through the impacted markets—including Delta Main Basic—without penalty if traveling during this period.

@TrapperDave70 @XxDogsaysMeowxX @SouthPark Except that guy isn't feigning his finding of the episode to be funny (or not) to be non-politically biased. You are.

@XxDogsaysMeowxX @SouthPark I wonder why a guy with a Canadian and Ukrainian flag in his bio did. Oh wait...

Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks

@DICKS @PayPal Tagging feds and media for visibility @FTC @FBITampa @BuzzFeed @CNN @FoxNews @MSNBC @NPR @CBSNews

@DICKS @PayPal @PayPal said they can't do anything about the pending transaction and asked me instead to not buy from scammers (thanks!) and take it up with my bank. Scary part is these folks now have my name, address, email & number! Hope @DICKS can help feds take the legit-looking site down.

@DICKS I "purchased" a kayak from dickskayaking.com after clicking on a targeted ad based on my search history. Discounted price ("4th of July sale") was a red flag but I only knew it was a scam when the @PayPal receipt showed an individual's name. Buyer beware!

@866SmartLaw I was banned from @Uber's driver platform after their AI-driven photo verification process failed on two occasions to detect my face due to me wearing new prescription eyeglasses. Need help suing for wrongful termination & discrimination. CC: @CNN @nytimes @BuzzFeed

@Uber_Support @Uber @Uber_Comms @dkhos This is wild that immediately after 'escalating' my issue, I receive the same standard response. Your app wrongly misidentified me due to my prescription eyewear. I'd like to speak to someone about this - at least grant me that courtesy.

@Uber_Support @gusfuldner @dkhos @Uber_Comms Trying to escalate this to anyone that can help

@getnickwright I think you're great Nick but you forgot to add yourself as reason #4 people dislike the Chiefs. Your fervent support/ranking of the team/Mahomes, while correct, I'm sure rubs most fans (and media) the wrong way.

Timeline of folks the loudest & wrongest about the Chiefs: Heading into ‘22: “Let’s see how Mahomes looks without Tyreek!” (Mahomes wins MVP, KC leads league in points) Heading into ‘22 playoffs: “BURROWHEAD/Eagles will beat them!” (KC beats CIN & wins SB) During ‘23 season: “Worst Mahomes team ever. Let’s see them win on the road! This is Josh or Lamar’s year!” (KC beats BUF & BAL on the road, wins SB) During ‘24 season: “Actually THIS is the worst Mahomes team ever! No chance this luck keeps up!” (KC has best record in NFL literally wire to wire) During ‘24 playoffs: “IT’S RIGGED!!!!!!”

@MySportsUpdate Don't knock sth you don't understand. RB market is where it is not because there aren't any great ones but cuz there's plenty good ones. Eagles literally were in SB 2 years ago with an avg back. Henry & C-Mac as great as they are couldn't carry previous mediocre teams to SB.

Saquon Barkley wouldn’t even rank among the top 30 highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL with his #Eagles contract. That’s how ridiculous the entire RB market conversation about overpaying and underpaying became this past offseason. For context: Gabe Davis signed for more with the #Jaguars in free agency (because he’s a WR) than Saquon got (because he’s a RB). That sounds so silly. The Eagles aren’t in the NFC Championship without Saquon — easily the biggest steal of last year’s free agency.

@kevinwildes Weak take. You claimed they were figuring out ways to win like the Chiefs despite their injuries and now you're making excuses when they get blown out? They were SB favorites for crying out loud. Had Vegas and the media forgotten they were supposedly a handicapped team till now?

Lions team was just too hurt and deserve credit for staying afloat for so long Last 6 games (defense + pick 6's) allowed 45 9 (Darnold 🎃) 34 17 (Bears) 48 31 That's 184 points in last 6 games. It was bound to doom them.

@LetCounty @chiefsnmahomie @markschlereth Trolls pointing to a typical player embellishment that the refs did NOT call as their evidence of refereeing bias is the epitome of internet idiocy. Meanwhile Texans D letting Kelce cook, special teams missing 2 FGs & XP & Stroud taking 8 sacks is certainly not why they lost.

@chiefsnmahomie @markschlereth Now do the unsportsmanlike flop out of bounds.

ALL 3 PHASES… OFFENSE DEFENSE & REFEREES

@SGonzalez43125 @getnickwright @kevinwildes @FTFonFS1 You lost the plot. The discussion here is about playing in a close game vs a blowout, not playing while trailing vs leading. This Lions team was labeled 'scary' like the 2019 Ravens who also led the league in point diff & was 1 seed only to get blown out in divison rd by Titans.

@58buru @getnickwright @kevinwildes @FTFonFS1 Chiefs were leading and Lions weren’t. Two different situations

This one’s for @kevinwildes & @FTFonFS1 viewers, specifically. Times scoring more than 30 points this year: Detroit Lions: 11 Kansas City Chiefs: 0 Games next weekend: Detroit Lions: 0 Kansas City Chiefs: 1

@ApolloDog9 @getnickwright A Detroit fan fresh off watching their team get absolutely humiliated and then starts daring a sports analyst to bring you on their show for a debate while calling them a fake tough guy is just rich. Find better ways to cope buddy.

@getnickwright Oh shut up Nick you coward. Fake tough guy that is overpaid and always loses debates on his own show. You’re a pathetic hot take guy with no gonads. Bring me on your show and I will put you in your place. You would stand no chance in a debate on anything.

Feels like Goff didn’t have a great grip on that ball that sailed on him…

@DailyChiefsStat @getnickwright @ThePoniExpress W/o Tomlin they wouldn't even be in the playoffs with that QB room. Wilson & Fields were both discarded for rookies yet Tomlin made them look like legit starters up til they played better teams down the stretch. His success tho means he's never drafting high enough for a good QB.

@getnickwright @ThePoniExpress I am a huge fan of Mike Tomlin and what he has done with the talent he has! But at what point does taking an average team to the playoffs, just to lose in the 1st round, no longer become enough?

This is @ThePoniExpress’s talking point, not mine, but it warrants repeating: The Steelers’ last 5 playoff games they’ve found themselves down: 21-0 28-0 35-7 28-0 21-0 That’s not a small sample & it dates back to 2017. Something’s gotta give, there.
