A close metaphor: Put a frog in boiling water and it'll jump out. Start cold and bring it to a boil, it dies a slow death. @Delta status holders have been dying a slow death for a while. https://t.co/T8SFSzXHR8

[Vikram Pradhan @vipradhan]

@_ZachGriff @Delta The most under reported change of all, esp. for international flyers who are more and more ditching flying @Delta metal overseas. Delta pride has become Delta hubris and they're still blaming COVID mode for inflight services when @skyteam partners have brought everything back

[Vikram Pradhan @vipradhan]

5 yrs on...still loyal to @Delta Skymiles but spread flights across @skyteam airlines. Still have @AmericanExpress Delta Reserve but $0 spend (from 100k/yr). Still charter Diamond & 2 million miler. Spend gone up $250k/yr on @Chase Sapphire Reserve. Winners & losers are obvious.

[Vikram Pradhan @vipradhan]

Ed Bastian, Glen Hauenstein, @Delta - you listening? @Chase Sapphire Reserve made Skymiles #Amex obsolete already. Keep your Diamonds happy! https://t.co/zXtRCUKD61

[Dan Robinson @DanRobinson57]

@BoardingArea @RenesPoints Loyal Delta flyer for years . I now have 28 flights on American since the announcement.

Thank you @Costco for selling this product, and @Instacart for seamlessly delivering it. #rotten #proscuitto
How many people's eyes went over this and no one bothered to look. Costco stocker, Instacart shopper, Costco cashier? @USCPSC

I review Covid-19 educational materials all day, everyday and this is hands down one of the best and most accurate vaccine education videos I’ve come across this entire pandemic! Well done, @FamilyGuyonFOX

In the billionaire space race, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos are using different methods. We show through these immersive videos how they plan to get there and back. https://t.co/uqrO9o87G8

Important thread for all my friends and family in India.

[Pramesh CS @cspramesh]

I know the #COVID-19 numbers in India are not looking good, but here are my (not so) random thoughts on it

[Vikram Pradhan @vipradhan]

The most comprehensive story from @theaircurrent behind why #Boeing felt MCAS (the system behind the two MAX crashes) was necessary, while it seems it wasn't needed in real life conditions. So many lessons for leaders in this whole saga. https://t.co/EZViDEd2Dj

Human ingenuity has never been showcased before as in current times. From disease fighting to looking for life on other planets, our species has shown it can and will thrive come what may. Congrats fellow humans! Congrats team @NASAPersevere

America’s much-maligned vaccine rollout is actually going relatively well.

The U.S. has carried out more vaccinations than any country in the world, and given a first dose to a higher percentage of its population (12%) than all but five countries. https://t.co/A5pNv0oWcf

Rome wasn't built in a day!

[Marina Amaral @marinamaral2]

Italo Gismondi, an archeologist, spent over 35 years building an enormous scale model of Ancient Rome. Most of it is based on the Forma Urbis, a huge marble topographical plan made during the empire of Septimius Severus.

The model was commissioned by Mussolini in 1933.

Dear Joe Biden, deficits still matter https://t.co/R5Xfax1wzd

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

As Republicans go around claiming that the Biden agenda is job-destroying and whine about deficits, worth remembering that Trump policy was, in effect ... Keynesian. Here's a key picture, explained below 1/

This image will be recorded in history as the lowest point for the United States of America as a democratic nation for a very long time. This is not the America I signed up for.

They’re in the chamber. One is up on the dais yelling “Trump won that election!” This is insane
