For those keeping track at home, speed has increased now that we are in the air.

At the gate still but on my second starlink-enabled flight. Without looking at the status bar, guess which is plane satellite and which is 5G ultra wideband.

Finally checking out the new Alaska lounge at my home airport.

Oh. (At IAH)

Accompanying Alexander to another rousing Russian pub quiz night. Every time I glance at the calendar I keep thinking it says “One! One! One! One!” but then remember it’s sports-themed “ole ole ole ole” because World Cup. Anyways good luck to his not-sporty gay team 😂

yikes! have a friend on this flight from bucharest to berlin but i guess it would have arrived past curfew so they diverted to wroclaw. now a 3.5 hour bus ride at 11:45 PM.

Ok fine maybe you are correct 😂 (came across a peloton near St Johns Bridge)

Pray tell Sir(i), where is said sporting event?

Apple Maps is high. Sir(i), Seattle is 150 miles away.

this grinds my gears -- restaurant downtown changed its name in google maps to unicode mathematical bold characters, i assume in an effort to stand out. that means "𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐊" is no readable by screen readers, afaik. honestly at this point they might as well have put 𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐑ΣΣ𝐊

Ah ha!!!! I figured it out. I kept thinking I was putting the latch pieces together incorrectly but turns out the ring that goes around the mouth of the jar needs to have its folded loop part pointing *up*!

this is probably some sort of IQ test that i am failing but for the life of me, i can't figure out how to put a disassembled one of these jars back together. the latch system refuses to cooperate (i should probably just find some directions)

what is a tasty crousty?!?! why is there a sweet sauce for chicken(?)? what exactly is crispy here? is it truly tasty?

sometimes i really wonder about the utility of these "what size is this item, really" but then i see this that lets me know just how much (assuming the depth) of candy 5 lb is

every now and then alexander's accent will slip through and i find it hilarious and endearing lolol (he said "showeling" instead of "shoveling")

huh will you look at that

Dear Teams, I start my replies with “lol” not “haha” kthx

😮 surprise surprise!

Gonna plug my phone in just in case.

Yikes, it’s like lightning every 5 seconds! And also this building next door has flashing lights all over?!

Oh. Never heard these alert sounds before.

Nah not gonna try to switch to a flight today.

Mine eventually showed up at some point during the flight (had it on the map the whole time, until now that we are on approach) 👍

Having a remote for domestic F is kind of extra but also I’m here for it (not like I’ll use it). Also I love the divider. (Paid for this upgrade myself for this work trip)

Yep; speaking of seat numbers, what normally shows up here? I don’t remember seeing ———— before, but def could have never noticed.

Gonna need more live activities

i guess it still needs some refinement. or not, i mean, who knows. it's pride month after all. [posted by a friend in a group chat, unsure of original provenance]

my coworker didn't know what a ditto is 😭😭😭 (maybe she called them something else but also probably she's too young?) omg i can smell them now *angelic choir*
