Dude has his backpack in his lap just before takeoff and the attendant asks him to place it under the seat. He gets an attitude. What is wrong with people? It's literally air passenger 101.

Spent about an hour underwater today and it felt great! The water was around 83 degrees. Saw a huge stingray, several turtles, walleye, a spotted moray, and a huge lobster.

Just saw a dude wearing a shirt that said "wokeness breeds weakness". If he really understood the term, he'd know that he thinks being informed and educated is a weakness.
