Re: Traveling
Thanks, I can now see the Rick Scott tweet , and ones posted to news articles. However, when I click on a tweet I'm still sent to a registration page. So, I'm now unable to read replies and won't be able to share tweets I find elsewhere. I think I'll survive.

To be accurate, I can't directly post tweets I find elsewhere. However, I can just copy and paste text and pics. So, all I'm really losing is the replies, and usually I'd wade through a bunch of boring posts and garbage in order to find a few gems. Elon is now keeping me away from the ads entirely. Smart.

#TwitterDown: Elon Musk announces temporary read limits on Twitter
Just yesterday, Twitter appeared to be restricting access to its platform for anyone not logged into an account
CNN has reached out to Twitter for comment, but the platform responded with an automated poop emoji.
viewtopic.php?p=185306#p185306... Many expressed their frustration with the connection problems. Other trending topics in the US included: “Wtf twitter” and “Thanks Elon.” ...

Re: Traveling
Excerpt from the article I linked in "Fascism"
Twitter’s dying, in case you haven’t heard. The World’s Richest Man bought it — and the press showered him with adulation. A genius! Surely, a visionary! And yet here we are, a few scant months later. And this “business visionary” has just…had to…put in place…viewing limits…for a platform…he’s trying to sell…ads on. LOL.
Imagine having to walk into a boardroom. And even if you can bat away the question, “So, what are you going to do about my Mega Brand being right next to a crackpot who thinks vaccines don’t work and Hitler was a pretty good dude, like, for example, ‘Moms for Liberty?’ — even if you can somehow answer that, what are you going to say when the next question is: “What’s the point of me spending Big Bucks on ads…when you’re limiting people to viewing a few minutes worth of tweets per day?”

You can say no to a TSA face scan. But even a senator had trouble.

I'm guessing this guy will realize relatively soon that a side trip to N Korea wasn't the best decision in his life.

It honestly amazes me that planes don't fall out of the sky every day. The incompetence and bureaucracy is staggering.
The airline said her bag was lost, but her tracker said otherwise. So she flew to get it

Literal, real-life 5-minute solution: "Chicago baggage, this is Phred" "Hey Phred, this is Don in Denver.

But would they do it? Nooooo!
Personal disclaimer: I did a lot of work for some airlines back in the day, and on advisory requests as recently as last year, and they've every bit as screwed up as you think/are afraid they are. If there are If there is more than one way to do something, they'll take the most complicated way every time.
