Dear @AmericanAir, LAX to PHL. 5 hour flight. And we get a Biscoff Cookie? If you aren’t going to offer a real snack, can you notify in advance so I can bring food onboard. I see the cutbacks. Not good. Thank you for listening.

Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.

Very good to know.

All fans will be permitted to bring in one, soft, plastic, 20 ounces (590ml), factory sealed disposable water bottle into any FIFA World Cup 2026 match in the USA and Canada. ✅ As FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Operating Officer, Heimo Schirgi, explains, fans will not be permitted to bring in hard sided, reusable water bottles due to safety and security reasons. ❌ We can’t wait to welcome the world to the biggest FIFA World Cup in history! 🌎🏆⚽

Anonymous My 13-year-old son just said, “Mum, I think I have a good idea. The people in America protesting ICE should call themselves LAVA — Local And Very Angry. And lava melts ice. You should post that and see if it's a good idea" We’re about as far away from the United States as you can get, here in Perth, Western Australia. But I hope the people over there know that even a young boy on the other side of the world can see when something isn’t right.

🚨BREAKING: Video is going viral showing Trump jumping into the shot with the cup - and REFUSING to leave. Watch how hard the guy tries to get him out of there. This is really pathetic. What an embarrassment to the world.

Happy Father’s Day. May you all lead by example.

This is America. The @Uber CEO can support Trump and the current "big beautiful bill" so publicly. And as a consumer, I can immediately stop using @Uber. Good luck.

The Des Moines Menace have four current Apple MLS Season Pass analysts suiting up for them. One, Sacha Kljestan, spoke to AA on that team.

Dear @USPS @USPSHelp ... you are the worst in terms of providing information on a LATE delivery. Your phone system is terrible. I guess I have Trump and Musk to blame for this now.
