Kid Rock makes music for people who’ll never lose their jobs to AI because AI can’t get under a car and saw out a catalytic converter.

Big win for Google as Walmart pulls the plug on OpenAI's instant checkout (1/3 fewer conversions than native). Google's UCP is the win/win here. Also looks like the Clarity act yield compromise is not yet set in stone. Today's https://t.co/2Jj6oNXpRl

@SharpNetwork Everything about this is so arrogant and self congratulatory

@kpottermn Open at LAX now

[Brad Todd @BradOnMessage]

In a totally empty late night plane, a ⁦@SouthwestAir⁩ flight attendant just refused to let me sit anywhere except the row where my ticket is, and where someone inexplicably bought the middle seat. As an 80+ segment a year business flyer, you’d better fix this nonsense SWA.

[John Basler @TheBasSTL]

@SharpNetwork Yes - college visits for the next 48 hours, then back home. But at least I am back in the central time zone :). Great to see you as well!

[John Basler @TheBasSTL]

There have been a ton of tweets out there about the disastrous rollout of assigned seating at @SouthwestAir. Clusters of empty seats and jamming people unnecessarily. Overheads are a disaster. But the worst part for me is ruining the flexibility of travel for A List Preferred.

[John Basler @TheBasSTL]

I am stuck in a horrible seat right now on a flight from Las Vegas. When travel plans change, who wants to be middle seat in the back of the plane? Totally devalued status holders on my most valued feature

Have a bunch of handwritten notes from class or work? No problem. Now, you can add images as sources into @NotebookLM and start transforming them into quizzes, flashcards, podcasts, and more!

@greg_adelson Congrats, Greg. This an acknowledgment of your tremendous track record and leadership at Jack Henry. Cheers!

@SharpNetwork ah - can't wait to see the "She Cellar" via Google Meet

@lepa_vale Houston is the best if you enjoy the intersection of heat/humidity, smog, traffic and no zoning laws
