A necessary article on how the big airlines are changing their business model to serve only the massively rich global elites.
Another consequence of the deregulation of the industry.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Americans tend to hate airlines. But Delta isn’t like most airlines. Through a combination of tech savvy, deft marketing, and opaque loyalty programs, a company that grew out of a Georgia crop-duster operation a century ago has made itself the most unlikely of things: a lifestyle brand. Its customers aren’t just loyal. They post their boarding passes as status symbols on TikTok. They collect Delta trading cards that can go for thousands of dollars on eBay. And they obsess in online forums over how to secure access to — then not get expelled from — its elite tiers. They also go to great lengths to avoid flying any other airline. Delta has the world’s most successful airline loyalty program, SkyMiles, with an estimated valuation of over $31 billion. Today it’s estimated that SkyMiles members have grown to over 120 million; the 360° program is estimated to have 5,000 members. SkyMiles members are so devoted they barely flinched when Delta did something two years ago other airlines had long wished to but couldn’t: It tweaked the formula of its loyalty program to reward travelers for how much they spent instead of how many miles they traveled. This was a significant pivot for the airline industry, but it worked. When consultant Peter Thorp got an email announcing an increase in the qualifications for his current status, he wrote a letter to Delta, saying, “‘Look, it’s your company, you get to do what you want. However, pardon my French, but don’t fucking tell me it’s a good idea to change it in a way that it’s going to be impossible for someone like me to continue at that level of status.’” Delta never responded. Still, Thorp sees himself continuing to fly Delta. Read Ben Ryder Howe’s report on how Delta Airlines is winning by catering to the elite: nymag.visitlink.me/oOYjpu

Ooof, @Hyatt. The Hyatt Palm Springs is in ROUGH shape. So many scratched, dented, broken, and gross things in our room and hallway. They can’t even put up our room number 😂 #NotImpressed

La xenofobia de esta administración no tiene límites; para la comunidad hispana de EEUU esto es un recordatorio de los verdaderos valores de este presidente.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more?

1) fries, cheese curds, sauce poutine (La Banquise for life!)
2) Kraft Dinner. Duh.
3) 10°C if I’ve been cold during the winter. 20° if I’ve spent the winter at home.

Canada Hates Trump@AntiTrumpCanada
Dear Europeans, Many American tourists visiting your continent are now saying they’re from Canada, for obvious reasons. Verify by asking 3 simple questions: - What’s in poutine - What does “KD” stand for, and - At what temperature (in Celsius) do shorts become unacceptable? 🇨🇦

BREAKING: As Donald Trump cancels free admission to National Parks on MLK Day, California will be offering FREE entry at more than 200 participating state parks.
Honor MLK. Get outdoors. And stick it to an old man with a fragile ego.

ICE needs to get off the streets and focus on targeted enforcement to find and deport violent criminals.
Enough is enough.

North Korea–style propaganda.
The Trump administration thinks lying in unison can erase what we all watched.
This shit might work in Pyongyang but it’s not working here.
ICE murdered Renée Good.
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec
The media smeared an ICE Agent who properly defended himself from being run over by organized leftist protesters who were impeding an active law enforcement operation. The reason trust in the media is at an all-time low is because they intentionally lie to the public to advance the Democrats’ narrative. That’s exactly what they did in this case in Minnesota. More evidence here:

They don’t kill you for being a domestic terrorist.
They call you a domestic terrorist so they can kill you.
Homeland Dems@HomelandDems
He said the quiet part out loud. If you try to leave—like Renee Good—ICE believes it has a license to kill, and will label you a terrorist to justify it.

Waiting for a blue line @sdmts trolley at Tecolote. 11 minutes overdue. No notice on the app. No delay shown. No updates nor announcements from MTS. I know delays happen, but we all have places to be and need info! Come on!

WOW! Tonight's solar storm is PRODUCING quite the aurora and northern lights show across the United States. And this could be a teaser for a bigger episode Wednesday night that is not just more vibrant, but further south. Go look outside! Share your view below. Red areas is the current max naked eye visibility of the incredible aurora tonight. Currently about from Richmond to Paducah, KY to Denver, CO.
Areas in yellow need a camera and outlying location to be able to see it. South of the white line does not seem in play for now.
A reminder in yellow areas, the longer you can have the exposure set to take a photo on your phone, the better you will see it. Want to keep expectation vs. reality in line here.

@ChadBianco What, lead a state with some of the safest big cities in the country? For shame!

As a California Sheriff, let me make this perfectly clear to those in the 49 other states.
You do not want Gavin Newsom as president someday.
Do not give this man the chance to do to our country what he's done to my home.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.
Pedal to the floor.

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.

BREAKING: We’re suing Donald Trump.
His deployment of the California National Guard to Oregon isn’t about crime.
It’s about power.
He is using our military as political pawns to build up his own ego.
It’s appalling. It’s un-American.
And it must stop.

Hey @TMobileHelp - we were expecting our new phones this weekend. UPS finally showed them as delivered today, but they are nowhere to be found. We've asked all around the building. We did not sign for them, either :( Can you help?
