Waiting on confirmation of this, but it doesn't look good. www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/i...

and then do the Brooklyn rail yard next.

Just a reminder that United CEO Kirby has been in Trump's corner for a while now.

The eastbound/westbound undercrossing?

The one westbound was blocked last week when I needed to use it. The undercrossing isn't great to get to as well, but I will try it again.

We need the Tillikum so it could work (definitely better than the undercrossing).

My wife and I were talking about our potential commute with our kiddo next year and if the elevators aren't working, our options are the undercrossing on Powell (which she won't take) or to ride over the Holgate bridge. Another is through Ladd's and over the Hawthorne, but that's way out of the way.

It's hard. We had a Fire TV then it finally died and I simply never replaced it.

Amazon to add 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for sellers as Iran war drives up energy prices With the Iran war now in its fifth week, Amazon said it's adding a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for third-party sellers in the U.S. and Canada.

A new surcharge that will likely never go away. Dump your Amazon subscription.

Brent Crude went to $147/bbl.

Perfect speech, no notes.

Nope, I was wrong, Fox Tower.

That's what confused me.

Uniqlo secures permits to open two stores in Portland area - Portland Business Journal The Japanese fast fashion retailer has filed permits for spaces in Tigard and downtown Portland.

Uniqlo is coming to Portland. I wonder if this is related to the permit at 3rd and Taylor for an "Japanese outdoor retailer".

It's April 1st so... 😜

I hate April 1

With all of the TFRs and airspace closures because of Trump going to Mar-a-Lago they could have just called it "You're Delayed Again Field" and it would have had the same ring.

Alaska Airlines unveils its first-ever International Business Class Suites experience, setting a new standard for long-haul travel - Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Horizon Air Debuting this spring, the airline’s new long-haul Business Class marks a major step in Alaska’s transformation into the West Coast’s global carrier.

FAA imposes restrictions on some landings at San Francisco airport The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday that it was imposing new ​safety restrictions at San Francisco International Airport that will limit some ‌landings and lead to significant delays.

"The two measures will reduce maximum rates from 54 flights per hour to 36. The FAA does not plan to lift the restrictions once the runway repaving operation is completed."

SFO just got fucked big time.

She doesn't actually post anything except recommendations for CRS.

ANA and Air New Zealand already feature a similar seat and I can't find any documented safety incidents.

United uses silhouettes of kids in the seat with a parent and implies with language that traveling with kids will be easier with the seats.

There's an Instagram Reel going around where the poster claims she is boycotting United because of the Relax Row and how it doesn't conform to safety standards.

She doesn't make it clear but I think her actual issue is that it doesn't conform to standards AND it's being marketed as for kids.

Didn't know Netscape News still existed, but this is worth a read.

If I made a post like this everytime I watched a car blatantly roll a stop sign or run a red, I'd make a lot of posts.

@jebbrooks.bsky.social I don't know if it's sad or impressive that I could tell immediately that the latest video ad was filmed at the Sydney Harbour Marriott.

I figured the ones in the first photo were from ID. Interesting that the Michigan ones were there as well.

Actually wondering if they're getting ready to replace some of the squadrons that are flying sorties in Northern Iraq right now.
