Instead of “Black Tuesday” I think “Trump Tuesday” has a better ring to it. He does like to name things after himself.

It takes a lot to make me leave home during SXSW. But an @AlaskaAir event will do the trick.

This is my entire job. Not for the government. Different. But most people do not understand data or basic math and I have to tell them they are wrong. Every day.

So, @Marriott features the Four Seasons on its app when advertising Austin even though the W just finished a major renovation and arguably has a more iconic location?

@Austen @amit_ajwani Two of my favorite beaches in Hawaii are Ulua (on Maui) and Lanikai (on Oahu). The first has a public parking lot. The second in a residential neighborhood. Most hotel beaches in Hawaii have deficiencies.

@amit_ajwani @travelcodex Eh it’s also not at all true that the nicest hotels occupy the nicest beaches

I’ve always wondered what you could gain access to just by walking into five star resorts and acting confident

@amit_ajwani @Austen news.yahoo.com/venture-capita…

@amit_ajwani @Austen The property owner is required to provide access, which means traveling through private property. The property owner may choose to designate a specific path. There have been legal battles with the state when these paths are not sufficiently convenient.

@bmvaughn @seattletimes Pointless. Whatever happened to “Think Big”?

@dieworkwear I get very confused when men say “hey boss” to me. I’m not their boss.

i tell men on the street i like their outfit

@PleaseBeGneiss @xJonNYC I want to know (1) how they got a dozen identical old red vans and (2) how they got it to go 300 mph.

Second this. Used @Clear at AUS and MCO this weekend and watched as the PreCheck line moved faster.

If I had to choose between first class on BRITISH AIRWAYS or SOUTHWEST AIRLINES on a short haul flight, it’d still be WN.

Just returned from four nights and my first trip to Disney World. I’ll probably never go back unless my son begs me. Disneyland is so much better.

I love the pacific northwest... 54deg, breezy, light rain and that does not stop people from hanging out on the beach.

@beckesque @kyliebytes Exactly. If you don’t like to be compensated with stock, don’t work at a firm like Microsoft that pays with stock.

@travelcodex @kyliebytes not to mention stock isn't liquid capital like a cash payment salary

SCOOP: Microsoft’s CMO, who just cashed out $4.4 mil worth of stock, told employees angry about lack of salary raises that their best way to increase their pay is to make the stock go higher, according to screenshots of an internal convo seen by Fortune. fortune.com/2023/05/17/mic…

@beckesque @kyliebytes If the stock goes up 10%, that’s a 4% raise. So the original quote is spot on. You want a raise, help the company do well.

@travelcodex @kyliebytes not really contrary to what I said

@beckesque @kyliebytes 40% of my pay is stock based and I’m a low level manager. About 40% of my employees’ pay is stock too.

@travelcodex @kyliebytes which is typically how executives receive the majority of their pay, and not the engineers actually doing the work and not getting raises
