Well folks, after 12 years on this platform, it's time for me to pause and take a step back. For those who want to stay in touch you can find me on Mastodon - my username is @j2simpso there and I'm on hci dot social.

@Whispering375 @CityNewsTO If they go after the Port Authority and FAA in addition to the airline they won’t have liability limits and can go full hog on the damages side. As you could imagine $300K is hardly enough for some passengers who suffered serious injuries and may end up with lasting challenges

[James Simpson 6x💉 @j2simpso]

@Whispering375 @CityNewsTO They’re on the hook for $300K irrespective of who caused the accident. The point of the convention is to remove finger pointing when someone is suffering serious damages like this. It also doesn’t prevent them from separately going after the Port Authority and FAA for negligence.

@MikeLeighTorres @MacFarlaneNews You’re really going to drag in Cliven Bundy into this argument? They’re cut from the same cloth, ultra right wing conspiracy theorists who try to overthrow democracy!

@jordanbpeterson I’m a little disappointed by the CBC’s negative coverage of Trudeau. Say what you will about him, Jordan, but his legacy will be with us for generations. I challenge you to name a single PM who has done more to make Canadians live abroad than him!

@pennyelizabeths @KeithOlbermann Code for supporting democracy not democrats. Fact of the matter is Trump doesn’t believe in democracy. That’s why he kept fighting the results of the 2020 election resulting in an insurrection. He’s a sore loser and a blight to America.

@VectorChefVegas @MeidasTouch He almost had it too. He was so close. It was the circus that came to town. Vance and Ronald McDonald in his jumpsuit

Does the rebooking requirements under the APPR not apply if the @AirCanada agent is not trained on the regulation? @pablorodriguez @Transport_gc @AirPassRightsCA https://t.co/hRGTXf18Nd

@Aku_700 @robreiner Remember Clinton or bust 2016? I remember that one!

@EndWokeness Let’s see Argentina is a tiny country population wise but also in terms of land area. They have one time zone. They have a central government whereas the U.S. believes states should have rights. I can go on here but I think you get the point.

@Brabbworld @JebBrooks “I” don’t know!

@DjsAviation I wonder how Lufthansa will afford to pay for that? Presumably they’ll take a hit to fuel surcharge and base fare!

@ToniHargis @CrimeGirI @SarahLouise_146 @pete_gb @Overlord_Anubis Clinton had a ton of baggage and at that time Trump had very little by comparison. Remember Trump spent considerable sums hiding his baggage, Clinton never stooped to that!

@MoshiMoshiMoan Biden won the debate easily. Fact of the matter is everyone is talking about his performance and are interested in the candidate. Now all he needs to do is perform well at the next debate and he’ll win by a landslide!

@NakeemHere @kirawontmiss So you’re saying all of the U.S. is dry? I’d challenge you to visit Florida and see if that’s still the case!

@TheFigen_ Didn’t know Carl Sagan had a son who is a star cyclist called Peter. That explains a lot

[James Simpson 6x💉 @j2simpso]

@HOUmanitarian Cycling isn’t recreational. It’s how you get from point A to point B in a city. The city should enforce traffic laws since bikes are road vehicles.

@garytlitfake The best part of Coach is his presence at the bar.

@TravelFake @garytlitfake I’m waiting for a small language model to be trained on Gary’s posts to generate new posts. Perhaps it could be called Gary, Right?

@dontbuybluth @garytlitfake @TravelFake The irony with lounges is that folks travelling in business and frequent flyers have a much higher priority to these lounges than a Priority Pass member!

@TravelFake @garytlitfake Tell me you’ve never flown on a Boeing 747 MAX without telling me you’ve never flown on a Boeing 747 MAX
