a quick introduction since i see a lot of new faces here after helping with @DataRepublican's site! - california refugee, now happily in tampa, florida 🌴 - silicon valley designer for 15+ years. always been an outsider ideologically, until now... - former full-time RVer - my primary mode of transportation is a golf cart - i have the greatest family in the world - hands in too many projects, but having a ton of fun. life's about the journey, not the destination. - big proponent of standing for what you believe in and pursuing the life of your dreams - biggest pet peeve is gov't waste. woke up when i got my first big boy job at 18 and started paying income tax. (we could solve so many problems if we stopped funding research to find out if monkeys are gay in south america, for example!) - former shitposter (and habitual complainer) on here, but maybe i'll turn this account into something meaningful now! - my life in photos is on IG, same handle

i'm so confused how @AmericanAir stays in business. why do simple things like booking a flight with a credit require a phone call? why do dedupes on trip holds require a cron job and don't error out when creating them? how do i always manage to find the edge cases?! lol

@MaxxChewning my wife hasn't pumped her own gas in at least 5 years and I intend to keep it that way. really don't want her mixing up 91 and diesel ever again. (jk the last part never happened)

Hey dudes out there, what’s your take on your wife/girl pumping gas alone for her car? Cool with it or ideally you do it for her out of safety precautions?

@ChrisMartzWX @watilo I do not mind privatization, but there has to be a standard to follow. If not, it could be very confusing traveling from airport to airport trying to understand the rules.

The TSA should be abolished, and each airport should have their own security. Left-wingers want everything to be state-run, but the lack of efficiency, especially during lapses in appropriations, is all the more proof that government-run services suck and most things need to be privatized.

I am currently in Houston on my way to a book event in Florida. I am hearing horror stories from passengers caught up in the Democratic shutdown. It is outrageous that these members are continuing to receive their pay while these federal employees cannot support their families...

my heart is full of gratitude. there is so much evil and hate in the world. I have no control over any of it. but what I can do is raise great humans and make the people around me smile. and you never know how those interactions might impact someone. ❤️

@brie1425 @SouthwestAir no one buys the premium seats and all but one pleb row was taken, so the gamble was that they'd get the upgraded seats assigned for free, which turned out to be true!

@watilo @SouthwestAir I know this is old news and I’m glad this all worked out for you and your family. Genuinely curious…when you booked, did you book the basic fare for all your tickets? I see you were assigned row 3, which is premium so just wondering. ✌🏻

my wife and two kids (5 and 2) are flying @SouthwestAir today. and because i refuse to pay for seats, their seats were auto assigned. my 2 year old in his own row without his mom or sister. i sorta figured when the websites breaks out age 0-4, they'd factor this in but nah...

Has anyone bought a Cybertruck for their nanny to drive their kids around? We don’t let her drive our kids at the moment. But this seems like the ticket for sport, event, school pickup / drop off. Very close to pulling the trigger.

@TheAviationBeat United blew me away when I flew them last year – first time in at least a decade. friendly policies, a great digital experience, and a nice cabin. I go out of my way to fly them when I can now. United might just become my Southwest replacement. it's between them and Breeze.

I have flown United and Delta a half dozen times each in the past 6 months. It is my view that United has passed Delta as the America’s premium airline. And the gap continues to grow. United’s product, aircraft interiors, mobile app, WiFi (Starlink is much better than Viasat) and network are simply better than what Delta has to offer. This was not the case 5 years ago. Scott Kirby took a gamble post-Covid to go big on CapEx spending to turn United into a more premium airline. This meant new interiors on hundreds of aircraft, Starlink WiFi, rapid fleet growth, and a major expansion of their network. Delta chose to play it more conservative and pay off Covid-era debt quickly on their balance sheet. This was a safer (and from a shareholder perspective arguably smarter) decision to take during a time of great uncertainty. This decision, however, shows in a Delta product that is starting to lag behind. (I say this as a lifetime Delta loyalist)

how tone-deaf is this Southwest email. it's honestly laughable they're trying to push seat upgrades already. way, way too soon. @SouthwestAir fire your marketing team, this is not how you win back your loyal customers.

@nikitabier @SophiaFioren I also have this problem (though I'm an *actual* human). 30k+ followers but routinely <500 impressions. does this sound right? I've always been suspicious of being shadow banned because I knew a lot of people at the old Twitter who didn't agree with my politics.

Sophia@SophiaFioren·
I have a genuine question for @elonmusk and @nikitabier. 😤👇 RT this if you’re tired of being ignored as a Premium user on X. Is X a social platform or a never ending experiment called X(Beta)? Months ago, I was posting hundreds of replies a day to grow engagement. Then I read your rules. I stopped forced interaction. I started acting like a “natural user.” I focused on original, educational content. I followed the rules. The result? Even with 13,000+ Premium followers, my posts barely reach 100–200 views not even my own audience. Support says: “Wait, it will fix itself.” It’s been one month. Nothing changed. In February 2026, you announced over $1 billion in annual revenue from Premium subscriptions. But let’s be honest this is not success. When algorithms constantly change, people don’t grow they restart. New accounts. New subscriptions. Same disappointment. If this is real success, then why don’t you also publish how many users cancelled their Premium subscriptions? Be transparent. Revenue earned from confusion and instability is not innovation! it’s profit built on user frustration. While low effort repost accounts get boosted endlessly, rule following creators quietly disappear. So I’ll ask again: Is X a platform for creators or a private island(!) where user frustration is the entertainment?

Los Angeles air quality has changed profoundly in my lifetime. There are still good days and bad days, but there’s no comparison to when I was in college there 40 years ago. California’s aggressive regulation of emissions really worked.
Attractions 360°@SoCal360

Gorgeous day in Los Angeles with snowcapped mountains in the background. The mountains got 3 feet of snow from this week’s storm. Real snow play at Mt Baldy is just 40 miles from Disneyland and 45 miles from Downtown LA. Took this photo from Kenneth Hahn State Park 🏔️❄️

Just curious. Once you bookmark something, how often do you go back and look at it? My retrieval percentage is in the low single digits. Wondering if I’m an outlier - or if bookmarking is simply aspirational for all of us.

DHS received $190B in funding. Canceling TSA PreCheck would burden frontline agents and Americans who travel for work. Policy decisions should serve the public interest — government works for the people, not political leverage. This seems like a move to punish and force Congress to fund ICE when they’ve already received more than 3 times their original funding.
The Associated Press@AP

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is suspending the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs as a partial government shutdown continues. apnews.com/article/homela…

say what you want ab airlines but I have always had an exceptional experience w/@united today I got stuck in traffic, then the conveyor belt at TSA was broken & the line didn’t move for 35 mins united called me, checked on where I was in the security line, & said they’d try to hold the flight. sure enough I boarded at 7:07 pm when my flight leaves at 7:15 pm. my lucky day + they’ve ensured I will always be a loyal united customer

never believe what you read in the news. they'll write absolutely whatever they want without verifying the facts (if not intentionally twisting the truth) in exchange for clicks!
