It's never a good sign when #nytspellingbee doesn't take your opening guesses (DILUVIAL and DILUVIAN). #hivemind, you can always let out a little frustration by starting #Wordle with a SHART. It's a good opener TBH. (not today's game in pic)

After deplaning on the built-in emergency stairs, we walked up the side stairs of the jet bridge. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to use the slide.

The jet bridge failed to attach to our aircraft (DL5438) because the Nashville airport (BNS) lost power. They do not know what to do with us.

I'm having a re-think of the airline loyalty treadmill lifestyle. On the block is Delta Skymiles. Pros: customer service that answers quickly, good routes and partner airlines. Cons: front cabin experience that feels like you're in a 1987 MRI machine--ethernet and all; dwindling beverage selection.

The only way I can figure out how I received this email is that Eric Adams has co-opted the NYC Notify emergency mailing list for his own purposes. Every day with him is just another supersize portion of sketch.

I don't usually play to QB these days, but given today's celebratory edition of #nytspellingbee, which after 2500 puzzles finally includes a long-missing sailing apparatus, how could I resist? Maybe for the 5000th anniversary, they will finally add ANNATTO.

It's like a #2solve but it takes the scenic route. I'm going to have to file a bug report (@nytguildtech?); the interface got so garbled that I had to fix it up in Photoshop just to see where I was going! Does anyone test this thing? We can't all solve it in two words.

I tried to get my cat to opine on the lack of COBBY in today's #nytspellingbee. He preferred instead to demonstrate. #cobbybody #britishshorthair #DontDreamItBeIt

Wordle was a bloodbath today. I got stuck for 20m in Spelling Bee trying to find what I thought I had already typed. Connections was the most fun. And Letterboxed went to 11--like, seriously, don't even try it unless you're a real connoisseur of J words. #nytspellingbee #2solve
