One more thought on Fountain. I wonder if this is partially due to so many people working remotely. If meetings could have been held in person it might have deescalated the situation.
great selection of visual tweets this week. i had a tough call btwn Weird, but not a sin and The Queen's Terminal - voted for the former. not disappointed that the latter was leading the pack at the time i voted.
I have recently begun to get to the airport early enough to get a printed boarding pass for my flights. I found myself too often standing in the boarding line worrying about battery life, brightness on the phone, sleep mode, and notifications popping up at just the wrong time. Paper is actually easier and faster when boarding. I am a frequent flier and early adopter of boarding passes on my phone. No longer.
Ted M. With regards to style, I will admit that Fountain does have a somewhat an idiosyncratic style, which is part of its charm. I read him his column regularly. Why, I do not think he has much to say, but I usually enjoy his column. When the Sun-Times hired Fountain I presumed they liked his style and approach to writing a column. The new editor at the Times went beyond bounds of editing in re-writing Fountain's column, removing much of his voice. Every publication has boundaries and rules (peculiar words for issues of boundaries and taste), as these were neither matters of "boundaries" nor "rules", but differences in manner of taste and style.
It's the Phellodendron amurense Ruprecht. Even when it was the Smilax Glabra Roxb, it was the Phellodendron amurense Ruprecht. I'm snorting some now, and, let me tell you, delish!
Seriously, googling reveals this seeming gibberish to be a collection of plant extracts used in traditional Chinese "medicine." Hey, if it works, it works.
I would have voted for “The Queen’s Terminal”, but since the poster couldn’t be bothered to properly punctuate, it disqualified him. “Acoustic Escalator” gets my vote.
Disappointed on the further comments concerning editor/writer. If the stated hope is for them to reconcile then privacy is needed. People are making points and continuing the debate in the public sphere - interesting but not any help if we want these two to work something out.
I think it best to simply say that these are two professional people who need to meet and work out a positive solution. And to encourage them to do so.

Sorry, I don’t get the “Acoustic Escalator.” 🤷♂️
I feel your pain with the tickets to the game.

Ok, ok, ok, I know what an acoustic guitar is, I just didn't get the joke. Thanks everyone for helping explain :-)
