The Big Squeeze

As someone who flies fairly often, I just love this. This is the reason we need newspapers, to reveal the kind of B.S. companies like airlines pull: The Incredible Shrinking Plane Seat

I also love how the legacy airlines advertise that if you get their credit card or sign up for this or that, you can check your first bag for free, as if that is this amazing gift they're giving us! You used to always let us check our first bags free until you took that away from us and made us pay for it just in the past few years! ARGH! Talk about Chutzpah!

My friend was on the train that derailed in the East River tunnel tonight. He said it took them like 3 hours to get him and the other passengers off the train. All the while they were trapped in the packed car in the tunnel without air conditioning.

Here's an MTA email update you don't see everyday: "Due to an earlier Earthquake in Virginia, there is no effect to train service."
