Yes, but he wants to meet Santa Claus, so...

I feel like it’s more likely to be ‘my period leaked on to the mattress’ or at the worst ‘I had a homebirth’ than ‘this is the mattress here I killed my cheating husband’

Religion is just fucked. You want to be a good person you know what to do, you don’t need a book or a benevolent deity to espouse being a decent human. The amount of horrible shit that’s happened cause people are afraid that when they die their just fucking dead and not in fairy wonderland is insane.

Not as wierd as you would think. When my mother was about 60 and I was about 30 I took her to a European country (details vague to protect all kinds of things, including how old I am) and I made her go around to this one museum that I knew like the back of my hand. She and I both smoked at the time and the museum had…

I...believe him, actually. A lot of newly-sober people acquire hobbies to stay busy in the time they previously would have spent boozing/using.

They wanted to humanize him and decided calling him a human was the best way to do that.

“I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff, or something,” he says.

USED TO LOVE BRAD, BUT NOW HE LOOKS OLD. JUST THOUGHT I’D COMMENT THE SAME WAY AS MEN COMMENT ABOUT AGING ACTRESSES ON EVERY COMMENT SECTION ON THE INTERNET. FEEL THE FEMALE GAZE.

No doubt someone somewhere will make an argument this is somehow feminist and empowering, as seems to happen with literally anything Kim does.

What’s inheritance?

No, the airplane can take off just fine and United can find another way to solve their personnel problem rather than making it their customers’ problem. They just didn’t want to. And it cost them $800 million in valuation today, so obviously they chose wrong.

I am confused as to why he was issued a boarding pass and seated - then the airline decided it needed 4 seats for employees. I don’t picture the said employees running to the gate yelling “stop the plane, we need to board” How far in advance did United know it had a seat problem -I’m betting it was before passengers…

he did put himself above everyone else on that plane

I’ve been saying this since news first broke out of this. In a reasonable world it would have worked out like this:

I can’t remember which airline it was - I’m leaning towards it being American, as they were who usually did the first leg of my journey - but I was bumped off a flight to JFK from DC due to overbooking two days before Christmas several years back. Obviously at that time of year, everyone is desparate to get home on…

And we’re slipping further and further towards a corporate-government future with every day. It has nothing to do with the current climate except that the wealthy have been playing this long-game for three-hundred years at least.

Guess who did get priority? The gold members of United travel program.

Somewhere, Eli Gold’s head is exploding.

I’m on several job posting lists. No joke, this morning I got a job opening ad for a public relations specialist for United. I can only hope it’s because United’s entire department threw their hands up and quit yesterday.

Does United not have a single PR person? Someone, anyone who could put some platitudes on cue cards and shove this guy in front of the camera? One of the cops is already being investigated, how hard would it be for United to do the whole “we are deeply disturbed by the incident and will look into it” song and dance?…
