Leaving AK on @AlaskaAir! My row-mate doesn’t understand that his “smart suitcase” has lithium batteries for his USB ports and they’re checked underneath us. Here I am lugging all of our camera batteries like a packmule. Hope luck’s on our side! 🔥 #alaskaair

Hey @southwest! I’m out of practice a bit, but another passenger on this flight (#3011) told me this trick he’s using: he buys an extra ticket so he can get room, but it gets refunded afterwards since there wasn’t a passenger. Does that really work?!?

Looked for a PS5 via @GameStop from @Wario64. Creating an account and the fields displayed all credentials for another account. UN, full PW, address, partial CC, purchase history (have screenshots). Crazy security flaw! @gamestopcorp @GameStopHelp @Kotaku @GamesRadar @verge

Replying to @Wario64
These are the PS5 bundles coming up at GameStop at 7PM PT/10 PM ET. Should be accessible here when it's live: bit.ly/332ULXQ
