When I travelled this summer we had access to a bunch of lounges, but none of them we could get into. Either they were full, they didn't allow travelers to the US in (no seriously), or they just changed the rules that week to restrict access to our membership kind. We never got into a single one.

Last night I found out we have a store in town that only has claw machines you can play, every single one with the same set of stuffed animals, and prices listed in Yen and often open till midnight. How is that a business model and not a money laundering front?

Exactly this. Made a few useful feeds and that’s all I follow beyond people

I think it’s the ads and the reply bots I’m thinking about. Haven’t spent any time on twitter for almost a year now.

Twitter likes to show tweets from people I don’t follow (and often from
A-holes). Bsky only people
I follow.

Odd. Twitter is the most depressing place to me.

Just opened my email client and was met with this start screen. This is so wrong.

Having been used to going through LAX immigration and customs being a 1+ hour ordeal, this was pleasant surprise. We sailed right through.

Just went through LAX without global entry the other day. Probably 10 seconds. Didn’t even show passport or talk to a person - just a machine taking a quick photo. Now I don’t get the point of global entry.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I wasn't prepared for how big this thing was. Can't really fit anyway in my windshield without being in the way of something. Got a recommendation for something smaller?
