I stumbled across this designer, nice stuff.

Not drinking I turned down the Mexican dish in favor of the vegetarian dish.

THIS WAS A BAD IDEA.

An hour later I've got to fart like mad--which can be done in coach because there are sooo many who could be guilty. 😂

So, I got relief in the toilet, but the problem kept coming back. By the time I hit the jetway, there was no holding back any more.

#ProTip

Avoid beer and vegetarian dishes on long flights.

One was an actor and the other a famous yacht racer who overcame apartheid and racism.

As you can expect, he would not be deterred.

As soon as someone else spoke up, I politely excused myself from the table.

I'm thinking, dude...this isn't Facebook, collect your flag waving and gun stroking likes there.

A fictionalized version of a real event.

Someone sat at our table made a point of being from South Africa and people thinking he was Australian or British.

He was happy to immigrate LAWfully to America and was proud to be an American despite the politics--"which I won't get into." He said.

Oh, oh. He wants to talk politics and he kept steering things that way. Guns, etc.

I tried three times to give him a way out...changing the subject to other famous South Africans. 1/2

I think JD Vance represents a path for the GOP away from is current murder- suicide obsession with America.

I hope the (D)s might want to temper targeting him for their decision. JS

That the Cheneys are #NeverTrump GOP as I used to be, doesn't surprise me.

I considered him and now her to be persons of integrity, which works for me better than policy agreements.

Remember the days of sci-FI?

#WWIII

If it all ends soon, she-it... this #GENXer is like, "Yep, knew it."

I find our modern times to be a fantastic time to be alive.

Connecting to the Internet and to all of you and to the world of information from the most depraved to the most sublime is an expansion of human capability beyond comprehension.

We here are at such an inflection point in our species history...it's kind of a gift really.

When my last company's boss called me at the airport to get help from me, he asked me how my new job was going.

And then a stunning confession.

"That was my fault. We weren't using you the right way."

How often does that happen?

I spent my time at the conference networking and learning.

We are at an inflection point *in my profession*. It is exactly as I messaged my colleagues a month ago after a big layoff due to AI.

"AI is here, let's steer."

Who wanted to sit with me after two days of my own evangelizing.

The first was the CFO, followed by a couple of other CxOs including their top engineer. 🤔

Mine became quite the esteemed table all of a sudden.

They asked me for my thoughts. 😂

Over three days, I pushed the point that AI *should* replace the toil we all perform. We should not derive human value out of menial tasks, though I do understand it.

"Am I right that there are so few of us left?"

"Yes, we are having trouble finding the right people. Either applicants are too young and inexperienced to deserve the pay or they're like us, with some even demanding CEO level pay. Just, NO."

During the conference, I made a point this time to sit at an empty table to see ... 1/2

Good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are #CounterSocialites!

How do you plan on spending the holidays during #WWIII ?

#WheelsDown #Chicago

There's is bit of delay until my next flight.

Sitting at bar seat at Legal Seafoods, in terminal B at Boston Logan, my phone rings.

It's my previous boss, "Hakeerm" at my last company.

"How are you?"
"Living the dream, you know that."
"Come back to work for us?"
I had these answers prepared in advance of his expected call.
"[Hell fucking no.]"
"We need help on something. "
"I told Chaco I never moonlight. It's pro Bono to help, but when it starts to become work, I'm done. "
"Deal."

🤷‍♂️

That great Beats team of 85 allowed 258 ypg.
