@AustinAirport as I was getting to my car to move it to the garage, after being less than 4 min inside!
Even the airline staff were shocked by the parking attendants’ behavior they witness every

@AustinAirport Fire your parking attendants! They are rude, raging, nasty people
Not enough that my friend’s luggage was destroyed by the airline (without compensation) - this nasty attendant wrote me a ticket
@united could you please add more documentaries about women into your in flight entertainment? It would be great if not about musicians since it’s hard to hear music over the flight hum
(Btw, I also really enjoyed the documentary about high school women’s wrestling 💪 )
@united you used to have some awesome documentaries about women in your Entertainment section - “Butterfly in a Blizzard”, the one about Emma Hayes, and “Come see me in the gold light.” But it seems like now only one of those remains and all the other documentaries are about men
I spoke with two founders recently whose financings have stalled. Their weeks are filled with an exhausting drizzle of lukewarm interest.
In these situations, it sometimes seems the company’s story is working against it. Often these are teams starting to deliver on their promise and strategic narrative, so you’d expect emerging conviction about the business.
But instead, as the company develops it inadvertently reduces beneficial uncertainty about its possibilities. By growing and stabilizing their business, founders make its future easier to characterize, and increase the specificity about what it is not.
Paradoxically, steady positive progress can bind with investor expectations and gum up their aspirations. You get drag instead of alacrity. And the more you reduce error in your trajectory the easier investors can plot the slope of your business and set the whole thing to the side.
One move I’ve seen work in these circumstances is for founders to add chaos to the system. That means introducing information and behavior that violates the storyline and conventions of the company narrative.
What do these countermeasures look like? Generally, fluid and fast-moving tactics that disrupt the thinking of potential investors. It can be as complex as a partnership deal that stakes out new positioning, or as simple as a provocative executive hire or clever new pricing. Sometimes, you’re better off with guerrilla wizardry.
Either way, time kills all deals. If things have stalled, consider what options you have to deploy uncertainty through assertive and unexpected maneuvers. These force people outside to discount their prior assessments and reevaluate your company, its position, and potential trajectory, and can help you recover your momentum and recapture the advantage.
@instagram Hi team! It would be really cool if it was possible to remove or edit the Spotify music added to Posts on the grid 🙏🏻 just realized the 🎶 clip I added plays very loud 😳 in an unpleasant way. Totally understand you’re busy but thought I’d ask 🫶

@Facebook someone in Vietnam used my email to create a facebook account. I never confirmed the email, but am getting multiple daily emails of their activity. Been trying to delete their account for 2 weeks now - same error message (see photos). Could you please help?
Hi @AmericanAir we had a 9hour flight delay causing my boyfriend and I to miss a full day of plans (all day boat reservation, jey ski, restaurant bookings..). For some reason, customer care reimbursed him 10 thousand miles but only 7.5 thousand miles to me 😢same seat type
Dexamethasone saves lives in COVID-19. RECOVERY trial shows dexamethasone decreases risk of death in those needing oxygen by 20%, and by 35% in those on a ventilator. On the shelf, cheap and can be taken by everyone - a real breakthrough.
