Man hijacks Portland airport monitor to play video games, until PDX officials declare ‘game over’ oregonlive.com
Operations supervisors approached the gamer, [Port of Portland spokesperson Kama Simonds] said, “and very kindly asked this person to unplug and cease using the monitors at the airport.”
According to Simonds, the man asked “very politely” if he could finish his game. Sadly for him, the answer was no.
Thanks, @macgenie!
Larry David: The Incredibly Happy Life of TV’s Favorite Grouch
Brett Martin:
It is almost reflexive—for reasons of temperament and ethnicity—to describe David as “neurotic.” Sitting there with him in what I had already begun to think of as Larry World, I start to believe maybe this is exactly wrong. It occurs to me that Larry David may be the most self-actualized person I have ever met.
Delightful profile. And I’m not even a fan of the show.
That moment when you’re sitting on the couch and you tilt your head back to get the last few drops of your delicious breakfast shake, but you forgot you had your glasses on top of your head and you feel them slip off and hear them hit the carpet behind the couch.
On the other hand, the dog’s reaction was most gratifying when I moved the couch while she was sitting on it.
I am enjoying Jack Ryan enough to watch one episode a night, but not enough for two.
I’m glad Jim found a new career; he seemed unhappy at Dunder Mifflin.

Bankers Flooding JPMorgan Event Bemoan San Francisco Squalor www.bloomberg.com/news/arti…
My work takes me to San Francisco several times a year and I dislike it more and more. Downtown, where conferences happen, is a urinal.
Outside there, the city is still beautiful, but you can’t find a hotel room for less than $600/night unless you’re willing to commute a half hour and often stay in a walkup with no private bath.
Surprisingly, Las Vegas is a pleasant place for a conference, easily able to absorb tens of thousands of attendees.

Cmdr. John “Bob” Bowen was relieved of command due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command,” according to a Navy statement. The term is a catch-all used by the military to justify commander firings without detailing a cause.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Wants To Ban ‘Virginity Tests’ In California www.kpbs.org/news/2020…
“Virginity tests”? In America? In the 21st Century? Dafuq?
Also: “There is no scientific way to tell whether or not someone is a virgin. Hymens vary among girls and some are born without one.”

Micro.blog is making me better at social media in general. Instead of just mindlessly tapping “LIKE,” say something. “Beautiful photo – I love the reds.” etc.
Our cat Sammy has far more confidence in my ability to avoid stepping on him when he’s sprawled out on the floor than I do.
It’s 84 degrees in my office, I just started drinking a blazing hot cup of strong coffee, and I can’t find the remote control to turn on the ceiling fan.
