Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

Now you get to enjoy the thrill of being 9 out of 43 on the upgrade list with 8 seats available.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I've taxied right past my departing connection more than one time at ORD. As a result, I haven't set foot in ORD for a very long time. Midway or bust!

My wife is simply brilliant.

Because purple...

I've found myself at the Anchor Bar many times, so I know my answer to this question.

I finally found a variety that didn’t require a battle against powdery mildew and bud rot (yet). Gonna rain next couple of days and I am thinking maybe today is harvest day. Thoughts?

This would be very French and very effective.

We shouldn't allow foreign entities to even own LAND in our country and here we are allowing one to build an air force base?!

I know a guy who's brother's best friend is the leader of an antifa sleeper cell that operates out of the security office at a Target in Woodbury, MN.

That's a good airport for a lengthy layover and the worst one for a short layover - especially if you are going regional on the second leg and come in at the end of G or F and find yourself hauling to to the concourse they labeled "A" because it's in Apple Valley.

The fastest way to get a new rental car fleet is to rent your existing rental car fleet to the United States Government.

Man... tech billionaires have been doom prepping since the first tech billionaire came into existence. This is not new news.

Ironically I had 4 hours to kill at SEATAC and wanted to read "Old Man's War" in peace and quiet, so I purchased a Sky Club membership and then left the book there by accident when I went to catch my flight.

Now that the US president is a character from a reality TV show & the Secretary of Defense is a TV host who wants to pretend he's in an action movie & immigration enforcement has been turned into a rip-off of COPS, can we finally admit the critics were right & reality TV really is bad for society?

The FBI is now basically a pro-wrestling referee - looking at make believe stuff away from the real action. I expect some pretty major criming (you know, like laundering money through a crypto scam) happening while they're all searching for brown people to fuck over.
