I spent way too much effort on this stupid fucking meme....

On my 72nd (and final) airplane flight of the year. A personal record I'd prefer never to beat.

My superlatives:

Best airport: Indianapolis, now and forever

Best lounge: Delta One Lounge at JFK

Worst airport: LAX

Most Improved: La Guardia

Best Speckled Floors: Miami, an otherwise awful airport, has fake fossils embedded in the floor. I like little reminders that we are always walking upon ancient life.

Most overrated enterprise: Chasing status at airlines that don't actually care about you even though you, in your humanness, can't help but anthropomorphize Delta.

Worst airline: Frontier and Spirit are in a terrible, terrible tie.

Best drink: The single biggest surprise of 2025 for me was an Old Fashioned I had at TGI Friday's in the Atlanta airport. I expected it to be oversweet and stuffed with fruit, but it was perfect--spirit-forward, slightly sweet, and a perfect orange peel.

Best chapel: All airport chapels are great, but I like the one in Minneapolis a lot.

Best bookstore: Barbara's in O'Hare, and I'm not just saying that because they stocked Everything Is Tuberculosis longer than most airport bookstores.

Worst plane snack: Mixed nuts but it's all goddamned almonds.

Best plane snack: Biscoff cookies remain undefeated.

There are other ground vehicles nearby and another gate with a jet bridge extending from it.] Voice from the plane: This is your captain speaking. As you've probably noticed, we're still grounded due to weather Voice from the plane: But the first officer and I have been looking at bridge clearance maps and our top taxiing speed, And we have an idea.
