News and notes from around the interweb:
- On Wednesday Delta Air Lines forced a passenger to give up their seat for a dog.
Flew from Detroit to San Francisco last night. Full flight. I was in the window seat, which I specifically booked. This guy who was originally sitting in the aisle seat on the other side of the aisle from me gets up and moves to the aisle next to me. He sets down a piece of luggage at his feet that clearly won’t fit under the seat.
I told him I didn’t think they were going to let him fly like that, and he said it was his dog. Then he tells me the reason he switched to the aisle seat next to me was because the guy in the window seat next to him also had a dog. …[T]he flight attendant noticed this situation before we take off. So she and another flight attendant come up and tell me I have to take his aisle seat and give up my window because he can’t block the way out.
- Larry Ellison’s Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe cancels summer weddings, sending couples into a tailspin (HT: Rakesh)
- A Spirit Airlines passenger suffered a major brain aneurysm after he slipped on a urine-soaked bathroom floor during a flight from Palm Beach, Florida, to LaGuardia, a new lawsuit claims.
- United Airlines doesn’t allow screencasting on their inflight entertainment systems because corporate customers are afraid their employees will use it with confidential documents
- Miles4Migrants is ceasing operations.
- Did the keg just want priority boarding? It legitimately couldn’t get on the aircraft without assistance, so…
This is by far the most southwest thing I’ve ever seen

I’d rather share the seat with the keg than some “service” Pekingese.
The dog had Executive Pupinium status
Ah, Gary’s weekly ‘dogs on a planes’ post, which always brings out the very ‘best’ in folks. Looking forward to the inevitable ‘euthanize that dog so I can get my complimentary upgrade’ comments from the least empathetic among us. Let the hate flow through you, fellas! Good! GOOD!!
Eff the flea bag, not moving til the cops come.
JD Vance was right when he called out the childless Kamala cat ladies. The anger these self loathing and bitter old makes spewed showed just how correct he was.
The feminist movement has made these women reject motherhood in favor of self entitlement. But they can’t deny their natural instincts so we left with this broads that treat their dogs and cats as if they were their children because I’m their minds they literally are. Its both sad and pathetic and it’s not shock most of these crazy cat ladies are the base of the democrat party. The party of instant gratification and grievances.
If you’re trying to do that much (or any, for that matter) computer work on a plane maybe it makes more sense to stay home and meet over Zoom instead.
Obviously a premium dog.
And does anyone else think that AndyS is an incel who owns more sex toys than has brain cells?
@AndyS
We were expecting you, sir.
Speaking of JD (and President Musk, of course), how is the whole ‘they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the pets, of the people that live there’ situation in Ohio these days?
I presumed that would be fixed by the ‘Dictator on Day 1,’ along with the ‘price of eggs,’ world peace, and ‘not tax on tips.’
Instead, we only got pardons for insurrectionists, sorry, I mean, ‘patriots,’ who most certainly were not ‘sore losers’ as they violently attacked (not backed) ‘the blue’ at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Anyway, since we’re re-writing history here, fine, please do call the Democrats as the party of ‘grievance,’ as your team threatens ‘retribution’ against its perceived foes. Be sure to scapegoat the vulnerable, too. We’re all looking forward to the ‘camps.’
I imagine @Mantis is still asleep beside you. Give him a nudge so he can add to this, please.
“miles4migrants”
Didn’t realize something like that existed. I hope someone investigates all the collaborators for human trafficking charges.
@AndyS
You seem to be intent on living upto the stereotypes of MAGA types as the dumbest people on the planet.
The dog owner here is a male.
@1990
Very happy so far with everything. Although Ashley babbits killer still needs to be charged with murder for killing an unarmed female.
@AndyS
How Christ-like of you to denigrate a charitable organization that facilitated donations and organized transport for people around the world who were fleeing persecution, war, and disaster.
You may also be disappointed to learn that regular people, as well as airlines, hotels, banks, and other businesses still support other charities that do the same good work for those in need.
I respect that Gary is a ‘free-speech-absolutist’; as such, he does not moderate these comments, so you can continue to spread your hate, and I will call it out. See you again soon.
Euthanize that dog so I can get my complimentary upgrade
@1999 I despise Christians they enable this bleeding heart policies.
I’ll continue to debunk your flawed word view that you contie to create in that little delusional brain of yours all the while I get to enjoy the show.
@Johhny
Thank you. Finally, someone gets it.
(Of course, ‘do your own research’ as ‘murder’ is not ‘great’)
@AndyS
Surprise! So, the whole ‘religious conservative’ thing was bullshit all along. Wow. No one noticed.
When your ‘team’ kills off Social Security and Medicare to pay for tax cuts for the oligarchs, boy, that’ll be fun for all the ‘old folks’ that paid into that system. You know, those awful ‘entitlements’ (certainly not a ‘social safety net’). You must hate the New Deal, too, eh? Hey, what’s that hippie commie ‘Green New Deal’ thing–Is that a hoax by the Chinese?
I’m still hungry. Feed me more.
@1990
Social security and Medicare only enable people in society who do nothing but leech. do what Canada does and offer euthanasia, it’s cheaper.
I do hate the new deal. Hope that gets dismantled as well.
A last minute screw you to weddings from a Lake Tahoe Hotel. I hope that the people with contracts are made whole. I wonder why the renovations have to start before the summer. The only thing I can come up with is that it will be after the ski season so maybe getting labor and supplies in for the renovations works out better at that time.
@AndyS
Wow, you are most unique specimen. You simultaneous support America’s hat, sorry, ‘the 51st state,’ yet Canada is so comparatively liberal to the US. Wild.
Political scientists and psychologists alike will want to study you for your ‘cognitive dissonance.’
While I am no expert, I believe the throughline for you is a combination of simple solutions to complex problems often involving violence against perceived enemies.
Something like: ‘Kill the dogs! Kill the programs! Kill the people!’ Is that about right? Far-right?
Looking forward to the inevitable ‘euthanize that human being so I can get my entitled dog upgrade’ comments from the least empathetic among us.
@BigTee
Good one. As long as there’s selfish, unnecessary violence, we all agree… *slow clap*
@AndyS
“I hope someone investigates all the collaborators for human trafficking charges.”
Really can’t wait for the investigation of Greg “Shake You Down” Abbott and Ron “Florida Man” DeSantis.
Kings of The Traffickers!
State Sponsors of Human Trafficking.
The Abbott & De Santis trafficking cartels.
Willing to bet that keg was able to walk off the flight just fine at its destination.
