@elerianm so what's with the words and photos

Neither words nor photos can truly do justice to the immense magic of Bhutan. Beyond the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture, it is the feeling of the place that stays with you. It is a land of profound kindness and quiet reflection—one that has opened my eyes to the rare beauty of a life where the ancient and the modern don't just coexist, but meld together in a seamless and engaging harmony. #bhutan

@BuzzPatterson I just want a stew with big ta's 🤔

As some of you know, in addition to my career as an Air Force pilot I was also a commercial pilot for Delta Air Lines. Twenty years in the USAF and 16 at Delta. Throughout, I was impressed with my fellow pilots whether military or commercial. My peers were solid, the training was exemplary, and the maintenance on our aircraft was the best. I was blessed to safely operate aircraft into and out of 70 countries over 35 years and over 10,000 hours of flying time.  However, as our society evolves, for better or worse, many industries continue to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace above and beyond operations that are founded solidly in safe and efficient operations. Among the several industries that have taken this on in the face of the risks is the U.S. airline industry at the direct expense of the commercial flying public. It has indeed introduced questions and concerns about the safety and competence of the flying industry. One of the most recent incidents occurred in January 2024, when a United Airlines flight with a diversity “new hire” bent metal on a landing on their training flight. “Bent metal” like taking it out of service. That’s not cheap for United nor is it an endorsement for future paying United passengers. The incident led to an investigation into the company’s hiring practices and questions about the hiring practices and training standards for pilots who are less qualified than others. It was one of many instances that have occurred recently where the potential risks of prioritizing diversity over experience and competence have been highlighted.  Another issue that has recently been brought to light is the potential for discrimination in the hiring process. When I was leaving the Air Force and interviewing with the various airline companies, I was surrounded by experienced pilots from all walks of life. But they had decades of experience and they’d been through the shit. Mostly military but not all. Today, when you walk to your gate, you’re possibly getting a pilot, a flight attendant, or a mechanic who was hired based solely on diversity, equity, or inclusion. Airlines are setting diversity hires above qualifications at your expense.  When you board your aircraft with a ticket you’ve paid dearly for, what are you looking for in your aviation experience? I know when I board one now with my family, I know exactly what I’m looking for. Experience and competency. In response to the concerns that DEI initiatives are essential for promoting a diverse and inclusive workspace, I understand that. However, I firmly believe that safety should always be our primary concern and goal. Any and every attempt to ignore that should be eliminated and squashed forever. Otherwise, we’re going to start seeing planes fall out of the sky and innocent people die. As a member of the flying public, what do you think?

@TheSolution1212 @CBSNews ok Ken

@CBSNews Having to turn off your phone or put it in airplane mode during takeoff is ridiculous. It truly has no effect on the takeoff, pilots, or airplane. If it really had an effect, they would require all passengers show proof of their phone being turned off or in airplane mode.

A flight from Miami to Atlanta was delayed after a passenger refused to get off the phone before takeoff, officials say. Crew members and even passengers repeatedly tried getting the passenger to hang up while the plane was taxiing out. But instead of ending the call, the passenger "became disruptive," causing the aircraft to head back to the gate, where they were removed, a Delta spokesperson said.

@AmazonHelp i did that. duh. it is referencing my home city, and a location i was more than a week ago. your answer, and Alexa, could not be more worthless.

@Cheese_Too We're sorry that you're having an issue with Alexa. Try using these steps: amzn.to/4uhaAEo, to set your location. -Xena

@AmazonAlexa device location DOES NOT WORK. i need it for weather updates while camping. USELESS!!!

@ChefReactions these two say Hi

@DavidMastio yeah, except when he's not. like when my sweet innocent wife died of cancer.

I got laid off from the job of a lifetime as a columnist at The Kansas City Star on Monday. On Tuesday, my mom was having a standard cancer biopsy and her lung hemorrhaged putting her life in danger and landing her in the ICU. Today she is going home as if nothing happened. She's a little hoarse from being intubated. Puts things in perspective. God is truly there when things look bleak.

@karenfinerman wow. super impressive. for the record I'm a 67 yo white married (widowed 😥) male who loves DWP. probly not the intended demographic, says something about the quality of the movie.

So much fun to be at the Devil Wears Prada 2 Premiere with my daughter Kate. And I couldn’t be more proud of my talented sister Wendy Finerman - producer of DWP2 and DWP-and so many other great movies.

@AmericanAir @stokesperson here's the Cliff's Notes version of @AmericanAir 's reply: "Gotcha!"

We’re truly sorry to hear you were unaware that your seat didn’t have a window view. We understand how disappointing that can be, especially when you’re expecting a different experience. When selecting seats online, we do include details like no‑recline or window seats without a window to help guide your choice, and we appreciate you letting us know this wasn’t clear. Please share your confirmation code via DM so we can pass your comments along to our Web Support team for a closer look.

I feel like if you request/pay for a window seat, you should get a window. Am I missing something @AmericanAir ? I know you don’t offer aisle seats without aisles

@eurofounder Either a. This is a prank, or b. Matthias is a douchetard b. Final answer

My wife collapsed in our hotel room in New York today “Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming My heart dropped If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today “Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor I sighed and called 911 She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst” I am extremely scared This is going to cost us at least $100,000 She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany I will never visit this barbaric country ever again

@CBSSunday @theoutsetskin @thattracysmith cool of y'all to do free advertising for her product. "Actress Launches Skincare Snakeoil". Profound.

Scarlett Johansson says her husband Colin Jost became an early “guinea pig” for her skincare line, @theoutsetskin, when they were first formulating products during COVID. She laughs telling @thattracysmith one face mask she forgot to warn him would tingle, sending Colin into a panic thinking his skin was “burning” and falling off. See more of their interview this Sunday 🌞cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/
