Is it me or are 50% of the posts on Threads people bitching about their flying experience?

It is in the final 3, which is so weird. I’m sad they fumbled the trademark battle on Utah Yeti, which was the clear winner. Between Wasatch and Mammoth, I’m agnostic.

There wasn’t time to launch a full team name between acquisition and the start of the first season (this season). They are finalizing the actual name now and will do a big launch before the start of next season.

This weekend I learned that we can’t go back to our favorite nail place bc the owner is….a raging antisemite 🙃 Fun times in ye olde 2025 (oh but I forgot, the rise in rampant antisemitism was made up, right? Right.)

Ruby is in the Nutcracker this year and still has regular class plus Hebrew school/bat mitzvah prep and I am very 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 trying to figure it all out. Ballet takes a whole break for fall break (Nutcracker is w/the profesh company in town; class is w/their academy so same team) so I think that’s the time

I am struggling with finding a time to get my kids’ boosters done when it won’t screw up activities/rehearsals. Neither of them can spare a Saturday to be down for the count so it had to be during their fall break I guess? It’s tough.

And the unfortunate reality of large cases with very tragic facts is that sometimes the parties involved don’t actually have the money to pay settlements (or judgments) that would do right by the facts, and the parties end up making compromises that reflect that reality.

Sure! It can be easy to blur the distinction between settlement and judgment. A settlement is something the parties agree to as an end to their dispute. A judgment is the end to the dispute that is handed down by the court (I’m simplifying this but that’s the general gist)

The settlement wasn’t something that was done to the families - they had to agree to it. They did so because it was what the insurance would pay. Pursuing more would have put the city in bankruptcy, which families stated they didn’t want. That’s why they followed up with the other suits.

Oh yes! The Louisiana Marathon course goes by his enclosure. That campus is gorgeous.

B’s bar mitzvah was Saturday and it was a perfect day. He knocked it out of the park during the service. We threw the best party we have ever thrown that evening. I am still tired (250 ppl in my backyard was SOMETHING). So proud of that kid 💗💗💗

Use ChatGPT to write it. Tell it to write it from the perspective of a kid who is N years old. Have each kid copy that.

Yes!

The flight attendant who gave me my wine was like “welp. This is weird. It says you’re a child.” And she showed me her little phone thingy and sure enough, yes, child. I said “I’m not a child” and she said “yeah, no, I know. Maybe look into that though” 🧐

Honestly, that whole thing made me nostalgic for the days when “are you high” was purely rhetorical and not, like, just a way to figure out wtf we’re dealing with in a given situation

This may top the experience I had a few weeks ago where a woman I sat next to at a gala asked me in all sincerity if I had *graduated from college yet* which, no, is not a compliment, because it’s batshit fucking crazy. I am 44. I do not look 20. At all. I graduated from college in 2001.

The plane ticket I booked THROUGH CONCUR AT WORK was apparently noted in parts of Delta’s system as being a ticket…for
a child. Not a minor, so I didn’t get tripped up at TSA, but a child. I don’t even know.

The extent to which a lot of people need external validation for their parenting decisions is SOMETHING. Just…do what you’re going to do, y’all. Think it through, have a reason for your choices. It’s fine. Whatever it is, it’s fine. The end. It does not need to be more than that (I know you know, K)

Yep, it was in a bar and she was mega drunk

I usually go with “Judge Judy once called me a bitch to my face.” Sets a tone 😂

My best running friend had to basically physically hold me back from getting all up in the grill of a woman who took a phone call on speaker phone near us WHILE WE WERE ALL RUNNING A HALF MARATHON a few years ago. Probably best I didn’t actually deck her but seriously fuck that.

That’s what we do - a gold dollar coin per tooth

Whataboutism; the two things are quite literally connected. You have displayed a profound level of anti-Jewish bigotry in this conversation that you refuse to acknowledge, and I am done. Be well.

I am really just about done being gaslit by you on this issue, when it started because of a rather shitty statement you made about how you don’t want to hear reports about rising antisemitism. Incidents of antisemitism skyrocket whenever Israel takes military action. It’s not all lives matter

I truly do not understand your insistence that there is legitimacy in making one thing the “primary concern” since that is quite literally never the way anything else works. You just don’t want to hear Jewish people complain about antisemitism bc you are mad at all of us for Israel’s war conduct.

You’re claiming are being cooked to generate fear in the Jewish community. I can tell you that you are wrong. That idea is part of the bullshit the anti-Israel folks are feeding you that you’re just lapping up. Have you asked yourself why that’s so easy to do?

In case you are curious, my husband is actually in regular contact with both our local FBI office and the ADL about the status of antisemitic incidents in our region (a necessary aspect of being the president of a synagogue these days - so fun!). He sees the details of what goes into the statistics

Of people like you are buying the antisemitic propaganda that you’re being sold (which, btw, is a recycled version of the same old shit that has been peddled against Jews for millennia) would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous for people like me.
