Today I'm using up the last of my @southwestairlines.bsky.social points. If SWA is better priced than others, will fly again. But there's no way I'm paying premium carrier prices for SWA airplanes.

Also, assigned a middle seat w/50% capacity because I wouldn't pay a $48 seat fee per leg? Obnoxious.

I suppose if men were to develop googly eyes, that's where they would form.

Neighbor: Come over for a glass of wine. Nothing special.

Me: Okay, let me get cleaned up and presentable and I'll be right over.

My definition of cleaned up and presentable.

Me: "My to-be-read pile is huge. Must stop buying books."

Also Me: "I need more books."

Generational garage sale humor.

Is that one thing "the desire to run"?

Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin hits back at demands he finish the next book: "You don't care about anything but Winds of Winter. You've told me so often enough" George R.R. Martin knows you want The Winds of Winter

Whatever irritation #GRRM feels is magnified 10-fold by his fans.

I have given up on ever reading #TheWindsOfWinter.

At this point, he's essentially a technology company who came out with a great product that he refuses to support.

Hudson's Bay in Vancouver is closing. Floors of merch up to 90% off.

Also... how much fun could we have with these?!

I don't know who needs to read this right now, but getting #cancer is not karma.

I don't care if you're the best person in the world or the worst.

Maybe lifestyle had something to do with it, maybe genetics, maybe it was an accident of exposure, maybe a fluke.

But it's not #karma. So #STFU

It's the time of year when I ask life's important questions:

- Is it a virus or allergies?
- Is it sinus pressure or are my teething rotting out of my head?
- Is Trump's presidency over yet?

There have been times I haven't fit in.

But it's never been "I'm a Tesla surrounded by trucks in Montana" not fit in.

Do you ever finish your day by thinking, "Today really sucked. Hugh Jackman can't marry me soon enough."

No? Only me?

Well, then.

Pope Francis: tributes paid after head of Catholic church dies aged 88 – latest updates Pope Francis, history’s first Latin American pontiff who was revered by millions of Catholics around the world, has died after a respiratory illness

With the passing of Pope Francis, another light leaves this troubled world.

I hope the last thing he said to #Vance was to tell him to repent the last 10 years of his life and be a good human.

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

Of all the lies told by over-the-counter drugs, the greatest is "provides 24-hour relief from allergies."

Today I visited the home of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald in #Montgomery, #Alabama. Personally, I thought their car would be nicer.

Also, not a single Fitzgerald book in the library. #historichomes

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

It's that time of year when I marvel at how white my legs are...and then realize I'm looking at them through sunglasses.

To occupy myself during my #ORD layover, I'm looking at the flags of other nations, trying to identify which belong to countries the United States hasn't passed off with #tariffs.
