Respect.

we used to be a country

@GratefulKeg He’s earned that right! This take is ridiculous. You’re pissed someone was given the opportunity to do their homework and actually did. Did Scottie or any of the other previous winners take the time to play the course more?

Well Rory has killed 14-18 all weekend. This is over. Congrats. Play the course 23 times in a month leading up to the tournament obviously you’re gonna win. Sad day for the game of Golf.

It's finally here. Good morning from Thursday at the Masters. #themasters

This guy boarding a Phoenix flight to Denver in ski boots is my favorite thing of the day. I hope he has the sickest weekend ever.

@burghgirl63 @ekun_II Was going to say.. the second I saw the flights were on the same day as the cruise, I already knew this was doomed. Some things you just don’t do.

@ekun_II What?? Spirit and flying in the day of the cruise ??? This can’t be real. Everyone knows you fly in the day before and don’t fly spirit. You spent $$ to cheap out on the air travel ??? Lesson learned but you should know this already

I will not send you guys DMs; I will make it public. My family has been planning this vacation for over 9 months. We paid for our suite on the cruise for a family of 5, totaling upwards of $7,000. We are supposed to arrive at the harbor by 2 p.m., with the ship sailing at 4. We booked a super-early flight that cost a little over $1,400, and I paid $240 for extra luggage. For this vacation, my wife and I cleared our calendars, with a running cost of at least $30,000 for the whole week. Last night we tried to check in but realized the flight was overbooked, and even after checking in, we weren’t assigned seat numbers. I also paid $80 for remote parking at DFW for 6 days, just for convenience. We told my wife we had to get to the airport. Our flight was at 6:30 a.m., so we left home at 3:30 a.m. and arrived before 5 a.m. The first attendant told us there weren’t enough flight attendants, so the flight was cancelled. We spoke to another one, who said it was a weather issue in Miami. What I know is that the flight went to Miami, but because it was overbooked, they randomly cancelled some passengers. What upsets me most is that my wife warned me about this airline. Also, my son is supposed to turn 9 on Wednesday, all of that is gone. Royal Caribbean did not refund our money. My children’s spring break and my son’s birthday have been ruined just because we booked with Spirit Airlines.

@MCCCANM Please write a book someday.

An “Autoland” refers to allowing the autopilot to land the jet. Many think that most landings are performed this way, but it’s actually the opposite – only a tiny fraction of landings are performed this way, and for good reason. “CAT III” refers to different categories of the “Instrument Landing System” (ILS). The ILS is something like a homing beacon, w/ both a horizontal & vertical element. The jet can decipher the signals to tell if it’s left or right of the runway centerline (the “Localizer”), and if it’s high or low on the “Glideslope”. Then it displays this information for the pilots so we can fly through the weather. Some of these signals can be used 20 or more miles away, and most autopilots are able to “couple” to the signals for navigating. The different categories, or CATs, are based on how low you can get to the ground before you either have to see the runway to land, or initiate a “Missed Approach” (basically a go-around). This is your “Decision Height” (DH). As the CAT numbers rise, the level of risk does, too, because the DH gets closer to the ground. Because the risk rises, the type of equipment used & the redundancies required increase with each CAT, as well. Most airports will have a CAT I ILS approach, but generally only major airports have a CAT III, and then only for certain runways. CAT III requires special runway lighting & antennas for the ILS, for example, so it’s an extra expense. Not all jets will be equipped for a CAT III either, and it requires special training for the pilots as well as procedures for the controllers. At my airline, only the Captain is allowed to fly a CAT III. A CAT I will usually get you to about 200’ above the ground (it varies) before you either have to see the runway or go missed. The autopilot can be on for this, but once you see the ground you must disconnect the autopilot & manually land. All commercial pilots are trained to this standard. CAT II might step you down another hundred feet, to 100’ above the ground, before you have to see the runway. A CAT III ILS can bring you all the way down to the runway, even when visibility is zero, but generally only for jets equipped with an “Autoland” system. The autoland requires some special features in the jet. It varies some by manufacturer, but the FAA publishes a list of minimum equipment required. This usually is all about redundancies…having two functioning radio altimeters, for example. If any of this equipment is missing or broken, you can’t do an autoland. The autoland system has to be tested in flight periodically, or after certain maintenance procedures. We do this on clear days, so we can monitor how it’s doing visually. It has to land within certain tolerances to pass the test. But, even on a clear day, it still requires special procedures & coordination. For example, the Tower has to keep other airplanes further away from the runway than normal. If one of them taxis in front of the ILS signal, it can mess it up & the jet starts following signals that are now no longer guiding it accurately. Which leads to a bad day. The autoland is further limited by environmental factors which pilots are not limited by. Reduced maximum crosswinds, for example, or maximum tailwind. Depending on the manufacturer, the autoland has different capabilities after actually touching down. And, by the way, it *usually* does a pretty nice job of touching down softly. It’s not the smoothest landing you’ve ever had, but it’s pretty good. Some will continue to track the runway centerline as the brakes slow you down…but others have no idea where they are after touchdown & head for the grass if permitted, so you have to turn off all automation immediately after touchdown. In any case, autoland is only used in a tiny fraction of landings. Most of the time, it’s the pilot, doing it manually, often just using visual references. The airlines want it that way…over-reliance on automation creates pilots that can’t fly when automation fails.

@mrmikeMTL Sparkling water or iced black tea with lemon.

People that stopped drinking soda, what did you replace it with??

@PlumbNick I’d like to say I’m shocked this happened over email, but sadly am not.

Well this isn’t exactly how I hoped my day would start. After 8 years, I just got laid off - as did 16k of my peers. But before anyone rushes in with explanations that make them feel better, let me be clear about what this wasn’t. It wasn’t performance and it wasn’t AI. It wasn’t location, versatility or impact. I was an L7, I led global AI enablement. I built systems executives depended on, moved wherever the company needed me and fixed problems that had been sitting untouched because no one else could untangle them. And I was still cut. Here’s the part we’re all supposed to politely ignore: in the U.S. right now, experience isn’t an asset, it’s a liability. And if you’re expensive because you’re good at what you do, the system eventually “optimizes” you out. This doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s enabled by a global labor market with almost no guardrails. Companies aren’t just competing on products anymore, they’re arbitraging labor across borders, wages, benefits and worker protections. When replacement is cheaper than retention, the decision gets framed as strategy instead of consequence. AI becomes the excuse, not the cause. It’s the clean narrative that hides what’s actually happening: experienced workers being swapped out through global labor substitution while leadership talks about “efficiency” and “the future of work.” That cycle keeps repeating because nothing in our policy stack meaningfully pushes back. Trade, labor and technology policy all pretend they’re separate, and workers pay the price for that fiction. I saw this coming and that’s why I’m running for Congress. I understand how this system works because I’ve lived inside it and I know it won’t fix itself. This is a rules problem and the rules are written by people who don’t bear the cost. If this resonates, don’t just nod along and move on. Support my candidacy, back someone who actually understands how global labor, AI and corporate incentives intersect and believe me when I say I am motivated to address this directly. By pretending this is inevitable, we’re accepting the outcome. #amazonlayoffs

@AmericanAir Second flight in 2 days that’s delayed by more than 3 hours. I look around the airport and every single AA flight is all delayed. Your operation is a joke.

@JBrickl73639 Oh no! This definitely isn't the seamless experience we wanted for you, and we can't apologize enough. Meet us in DM for a closer look.

@AmericanAir my flight was delayed for 5 hours. I am still trying to get up in the air. (I have been since 8. It was my first time up there with you guys and very sure it will be my last. Currently sitting in a new plane and being told 10 minutes every 20! AA1257

@HustleBitch_ Hey HustleBitch, theft and fraud run rampant in the transportation industry - especially for high value commodities like alcohol. Don’t make this into something it’s not.

🚨 GUY FIERI’S LEG JUST EXPLODED - AND THE STORY ONLY GETS WEIRDER Chef and TV legend Guy Fieri says he’s now in a wheelchair because his leg literally “exploded.” He fell down a staircase while filming, tore a quad muscle clean off, and needed emergency surgery. He won’t be walking for the next eight weeks. But here’s where it goes from accident to full-blown Flavortown conspiracy: Just ONE MONTH before his leg blew out… two entire truckloads - 24,000 bottles - of his Santo Tequila mysteriously disappeared between Texas and Pennsylvania. The trucking company blamed a “water pump problem.” Then came “delays.” Then the tequila was just… gone. A million-dollar shipment erased off the map. So now we’re looking at: • A tequila heist • 24,000 missing bottles • A trucking company with excuses • And Guy Fieri in a wheelchair after his leg “exploded” Does ANY of this sound normal to you… or is something seriously off in Flavortown?

@TonyLaneNV I wouldn’t fly on a plane that’s main cabin door isn’t shut either! You can’t be serious with this mess.

A JetBlue plane had rain leaking through the ceiling while on the ground before takeoff. Do you think it’s still safe to fly — or would you switch planes? Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸
