@fadule_ It's a never ending cycle where the most popular names become uncool and then downright offensive, letting new variants rise to the cool throne

This begs the next question. How do we feel about dogs out on flights?

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

On August 24, 2014, James Beach, a six-foot-one businessman from Denver, was returning from Moscow when he deployed the Knee Defender—“a $22 gadget,” the Associated Press reported, “that attaches to a passenger’s tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining.” The woman in front of him, unable to lean back, flagged a flight attendant.

From there, events spiralled. Beach removed the Knee Defender, but then became upset when the woman reclined forcefully, risking damage to his computer. He confronted her, pushed her seat forward, and tried to reinstall his device, at which point, he said, she turned around and threw her soda at him. The plane was diverted to Chicago, where it was met by police, and news coverage of the event led to conversations about reclining one’s airplane seat. “The bottom line is that reclining is a social act in an environment of social stress. It involves deciding whether to inflict your will on someone else, and enduring or resisting the effects of someone else’s decision,” Joshua Rothman writes.

Biggest difference between SF and NYC might just be that SF has so much less rizz pulsing through it

@MarketingMax @andruyeung +1 for paradero. Almost want to gatekeep it cuz it’s so awesome.

@jphorism Really like this and the general idea of using AI to build lightweight apps that serve one, super niche use case really well. Use cases that would have never warranted the investment before.

@YIMBYLAND @levelsio I like the premise of this but these examples are basically just showing a different time of year and worse weather rather than ill effects of the build.

Add some sun and leaves to the “reality” photos and they’ll look pretty solid.

@andruyeung Got a list anywhere for people interested in finding one?

@litcapital Slop bowls should go b2b, open up ghost kitchens and market heavily to catering corporate lunches.
Slop survives.
Corporate America boosts employee satisfaction.
The consumer gets free slop.
Everyone wins.

@Aeromexico Hi @Aeromexico can you please honor your stated policy of waiving change fees for flights to PXM.

Your website is still charging change fees and your call center also could not help.

Not cool to falsely announce your policies regarding a tropical storm.
