And just when you thought we heard the last one from Anbang. Of course they now deny they are out to buy Intercontinental Hotels Group. These guys are really something…
Everyone was bitching at Southwest for screwing up recently when its IT system went down. And now Delta went down which has been praised for operational excellence. Lol. Later in the day Delta came out with the news to give every passenger affected by the outage a $200 voucher, which is a very good move.
Google Maps mapping the Rio Favelas like you have not seen them before. This is pretty cool.

Jumpin’ jack flash, it’s a blast, blast, blast.
Is it first?
If only the Gold medal was Olympic one…
George, the the hilton link on the loyalty lobby site you point to has an aff link to Zanox on it! So basically a blogger is placing a cookie on your browser to benefit from any Hilton hotel booking you may make in the next x hours. :p
I did not know that….can’t keep track of these things…just hope someone was targeted and got some points
Where do you find that information?
Hmm…. let’s see… I actually look at the url of a link before clicking on it? :facepalm: (especially before logging onto a website?)
If you were targetted, Hilton would have emailed you!
I get awin1. Hence the question
Why the facepalm?
TBB, where can I find a card that blows me? Any links?
Lol, you saw that huh? What a credit card salesman! I mean, so many readers…they want to get blown too and only thing they gotta do is…click for that credit card. ^%$%###@$%#@
Just hold on, my source “deep throat” is telling me that Sapphire Reserve will be orgasmic.
For the bloggers.
Tomorrow I have a link to a shocking article about female orgasms, it will blow you away!
I am seriously reconsidering following you, Buzz. My “deep throat” tells me you have a “thing” for women’s beach volleyball, particularly the “hotties” on the team from Egypt? Please confirm or deny!?
Meanwhile I luuuuuuuv DL’s service recovery – “oops, sorry, here’s $200 so you will let us f-u AGAIN”…
Great shipping link!
#TBBon
Confirmed. For all except Egypt, that garment is just not that sexy! #truth
The cancellations continue at huge numbers and the assholes are saying they are “thinning” schedules to improve performance. After blaming the power company yesterday which immediately was denied by it. The way this airline operates is so shitty is unbelievable! Ann all this after bragging about how good they are, so arrogant, wow!

Great read…I can think of many Titan bloggers it applies to 🙂
I liked the ending:
“The world isn’t your elite-status fluffer. Being a member of the world community means tolerating those who are younger and older and lighter and darker and bigger and smaller than you, and tolerating those who have different ideas from yours on how to live. Scrape that elite status out of your immature, enfeebled brain and recognize that you are just an ordinary person among 7.5 billion ordinary people.
Stop thinking about what’s best for you and think about the 200 other people on the plane or the millions of people who are suffering in your country or the billions suffering abroad. Stop putting yourself at the center of some luxury-branded experience, in which you can and should deliver a verdict on the quality of service offered by every human around you, and start seeing yourself as part of the human race.
No one owes you a preemptive apology just because you’re a control freak. You aren’t always in control, like it or not. You might just find that fact relaxing, if you lean into it. You might even find it much more comfortable. The people around you certainly will.”
This article speaks for itself. I see every flight as my personality test. I put on noise cancelling headphones and endure. Sometimes it is a difficult test such as economy overseas and over night. One does see all sorts of situations and personalities on the planes. Yet nothing will break me down although it used to happen in the past. Now I can breath in, out and go on. The airlines make it extremely uncomfortable for me because of my size (I dont mean waste size 🙂 It justifies the travel hacking game. Why would we pay what they asking for this living hell? Good gear rules, earphones, Rohan clothing, the right shoes, Surface loaded, you name it.
Read not so smart Ariana Pointchaser. What may go down in flames is Walmart. Hope it holds for a while before the over abusers make Walmart generate a US wide memo…
Whenever I see a post with the headline “My week in Manufac…” I start stabbing myself. So I stopped because it got bloody 🙂
“Female orgasms that will blow you away.”
I’m setting the alarm clock for tomorrow’s post.
You may have the same deflating reaction like the other clickbait posts by them Titans 🙂 #hint
