I enjoyed my podcast conversation with @JamesSpiro, where we said we'd talk about PR and technology, but ended up spending almost the whole episode talking about the way the Israel-Palestinian conflict is perceived. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/med…

7. Did I do the right thing (even though I could not deliver my note) or was I intruding on others’ business? Genuinely curious.

6. When I had finished writing it, I looked back up, but could not find them. I waited a bit, then began walking towards baggage claim / ground transportation. I did not see them again

4. We got off the plane. I debated whether to tell her. It’s not my business. And there could be a number of innocent explanations for the man’s messaging. But when I saw them stop to use the bathroom, I wrote a quick note.

3. A woman who I am pretty sure was his wife was sitting next to him. She could not see his screen. As we waited to get off the plane, I made small talk with them. The woman said “we are from Chicago but we live in Maine now.” The man wore a wedding ring.

2. The app he was using (looked like WhatsApp) was auto translating Regina’s messages into English from Russian. Every time the man sent a message or put a heart on one, he quickly closed the app and went back to scrolling the news.

1. A story: I was just deplaning at OHare after a flight from Portland ME. The guy right in front of me was having an intimate conversation on his phone with a Russian speaking woman named Regina.

@APNews 3. Secondly: For decades, research has suggested marijuana is addictive in a minority of users, but the chatter class still claims it is not addictive. YES opiate or coke addiction is worse; the withdrawal is far worse. That doesn't mean weed isn't **also addictive.**

@APNews 2. For example: never in history has cannabis been as potent as it is today. 95% THC, are you joking? The 'kind bud' we bought in high school for $60 an eighth was in the single digit percentages (7% or 8% THC)
