I’m flying EWR-SIN in a couple of weeks and I’m trying to decide what to order to eat for the 18 hour flight. @wandrme.paxex.aero suggested the noodle dishes.

It will be interesting to see how this works out. www.wsj.com/business/ene...

No shit.

The irony here is the administration demanding the online persona details of people who criticize it. "We want digital freedom! No, no, not that freedom"

He's gotta give people time to position themselves in the market to make as much money as possible.

💯💯💯 "the currency has taken such a hit that people don’t see the value in using the card to earn United miles" like, i really like UA/Star because of the connectivity to where we like to go, but also, award prices seem to have skyrocketed 👎

United really can't get out of their own way when it comes to program changes. badice.com/2026/02/unit...

The "hack" here is write a blog post. Which has been a "hack" to influence search results for 20ish(??) years now. Chatbots and AI summaries are trash. That's the real takeaway.

Maybe it's a technology we don't even need. gizmodo.com/tesla-robota...

My brain hurts after learning the person who danced over her sick infant in the hospital is now “famous” and on Dancing With the Stars. What are we even doing?

Dear luggage makers, please give the option for two compression panels rather than forcing me to have one side that is a zippered pocket. Sincerely, A carry-on only traveler

I mean, I paid $22 last week for a medium coffee and a mediocre sandwich at PDX.... wait, that checks out with street pricing. 😝 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSQB...

It appears the CIA’s official YouTube channel has been compromised. youtube.com/@centralinte...

Holy crap, that was insane! I’ve been on a lot of flights to some interesting places doing what I do, but that was BY FAR the most heart pounding landing. St Barth over the hill with some very interesting crosswinds today. Even the seasoned pilot said today was “interesting.”

Don’t forget, the postmark rules changed at the end of 2025 too. www.bdo.com/insights/tax...

What in the AI-slop hell is this?!

The All American Halftime Show not having closed captioning is probably the most on-brand thing they’ve done.

I have a flight coming up on Sri Lankan Airlines and apparently they let you order cake before your flight. #avgeek

What a joke. Just like Amazon's "just walk out" stores. eletric-vehicles.com/waymo/waymo-...

A professional airplane enthusiast has been tracking the federally chartered deportation flights out of the Minneapolis airport as DHS sends immigration detainees to other states and, eventually, other countries. n.pr/4qlvIaa

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

“I hope you settle down I hope you marry rich I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin And not your soul, and what He might do to it” Wow. open.spotify.com/track/77zqs8...

Alaska’s aggressive flight banking at PDX is quickly making it difficult to arrive 30 minutes before boarding. Security, choke points, and the ongoing construction all contribute.

Full house recording this week's episode. Excited to have @pizzatalkstravel.bsky.social on with the regular crew (@wandrme.paxex.aero, @stephan.wtf, @fozzm.bsky.social) as well.

If your children got tear gassed today I want to hear from you, even if you don’t live in my district. You can contact my office at [email protected]

Really disappointed to see Woom has discontinued their kids cargo bike. I’ll have to hunt the used market for one of the smaller versions.

I know that GE and PreCheck are a privilege but using a general "stick" to discourage protests is gross and a threat to our Republic. viewfromthewing.com/court-filing...

I’m sure this will go perfectly.

Probably should read "fewer" though. 😬

I stay off Facebook for the most part but went to look for an update from a business today and this was on someone's feed. I don't even know how to respond. They don't view anyone that isn't on the "same team" as human.

Not that it matters—this "Ambassador" takes orders from the hero of American Nazism—but even the US Holocaust Museum disputes the lie about "living legally": www.ushmm.org/m/pdfs/USHMM...

"For many years, credit card companies and other payment methods were aggressive about policing child sexual abuse material. Then, Elon Musk’s Grok started undressing children on X."

Honestly, since it doesn’t contain all of the necessary information for a NOTAM I wonder how well this would hold up in court.

Kristi Noem: “I don’t know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition instead of a sign.”

They have been in Texas, they are just keeping it much more low-key (apparently 2nd amendment heavy state will do that) www.kxan.com/news/local/g...

More proof these people have never read a book.

Another fun night in Redmond (Bend), with visibility issues that the E175s can’t handle.

ICE realizes that Philadelphia riots when they’re happy right?

Trump during his presser today: “I could add 2 billion jobs if I wanted”

They don’t even have to do that, halt US overflight and this is over in a matter of days.

Absolutely terrible news out of Southern Spain tonight, where a HSR derailment jumped the tracks into an oncoming train, resulting in significant casualties and injuries. We spent the past few nights in Málaga. Just crushed for those wonderful people.

FFS. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

When you’re in Spain but also North Africa at the same time. #melilla

Flying Malaga to Melilla this morning. Apparently seat reservations are meaningless on Iberia. Checked-in and had a specific seat. Go to board, nope, here’s a new seat.

Real fun dinner with the @moredotsmorelines.com crew and friends, accented by a comically timed barrage of emails from Iberia for a flight we’re all on tomorrow
