arclightHave US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11? Somehow Security was not the most disturbing source of decay and horror. Or maybe it was and I'm just numb to it.
Encounter a wild techbro in the airport? Don't worry - contact one of Austin Bergstrom Airport's Techbro Control Specialists who will bait one of our specially constructed techbro live traps with Claude tokens, capture, and harmlessly release the techbro at one of our server farms upstate
Away from your sterile metallic Skinner Box condo? Need coffee but can't bear the thought of "interacting" with other "people" who might have a "personality" and subject you to "conversation"? Obtain coffee from one of our emotionless robot baristas - just like Wire Mom used to make!
J MillerI haven’t flown since 2019. When I miss travel, I have a little list of things I reflect on to keep from getting sad: that time on Southwest when I was in the middle seat between two 300 pound guys, the NYT story about the airline with a bedbug problem, and now this.
In the past, I used to enjoy spending time in most airports, with the food and shopping and no pressure to do anything but catch my flight. But these sights you have here 😳.
