Weird that Alaska Airlines would launch sales of their new SEA-FCO route online without sending as much as a emailed peep to AS frequent flyers or folks who signed up for notifications. But it’s now in their online newsroom and landing page. Can’t figure the comms strategy there…

Madonna’s album “Confessions on a Dance Floor” was released 20 years ago this week … not Like a Virgin. Or Erotica. Or Ray of Light.

SCOTUS rejected a bid by former Kentucky county official Kim Davis to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Davis was ordered to pay more than $360,000 in damages for refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple reut.rs/4oyrQ5J

Earlier today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of same-sex marriage by declining to hear a challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges.
The landmark decision securing marriage equality will stay intact, meaning our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

1: people who claim a service dog that isn’t really one are a special brand of assh*le. There’s a couple here with a dog nowhere near well trained to be a service animal.
