If you're stuck on a plane & about to to spend the night in a strange city, now's a good time to look around your flight & find the nearest annoying-but-very-attractive person. B/c a handful of you are going to get a Hallmark movie experience out of this, but at this scale, you gotta stake dibs.

"While I have, on occasion, accidentally unplugged the macerating toilet pump, and once did walk away with a freestanding sink, I had nothing at all to do with the Outlook system going down yesterday nor the entire aviation system going down today. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

This, to me, reflects the big problem in our politics. These people equate "doing well in the midterms" with "winning the World Series." No, idiots, that's just making the roster. Passing legislation that helps people is "winning the World Series." 75%+ of pols just want to run, not govern.

Interestingly, Schumer's backers are using the same line to defend him:
Baldwin: "The Brewers just had a record season, and next year is not the time to change our management."
King: "Why would you fire the manager when you just won the World Series?"
Gallego: "When the manager takes you to the World Series, you give him another contract."

sometimes i'll take a very brief break from work to come up with the dumbest name for a startup i can think of and check to see whether it's the name of a real company. it's a fun game because you win around 90% of the time. today's word was "strively." yep
