permanent mutations...

@NostalgiaPro @BestBuy @BestBuySupport If the order was on CC, report to CC / cancel the charge. It's fraud. If install was bundled with the TV purchase, just be like - "I dunno what yer talking about man?" when they send the Best Buy install crew to recover the TV.

I bought an 85" Sony Bravia from @BestBuy on March 1st. Delivery took 12 days. Now mounting has been delayed another week and just got cancelled again via email. I've been lied to and given the runaround by at least 5 different employees. A @BestBuySupport agent on X even told me to wait until he gets back from vacation to 'fix' it. I spoke with someone from 'corporate' this morning who told me she has to investigate and will possibly get back to me tomorrow. @BestBuy doesn't seem to care and refuses to actually mount the TV. @BestBuySupport help? This is unacceptable for a big purchase. Here's a picture of the TV in the box sitting in my living room.

@Y2John84 at least its a dry heat....

A lovely day at the lake.

@Maddy_Harp_001 @timecaptales Also brother to "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, who had a totally different vibe (also sounded a bit like Peter Dinklage).

🚨 MEET THE MACHO MAN.... Randall Mario Poffo was born in Columbus, Ohio, on November 15, 1952, the son of wrestler Angelo Poffo. As a young man, he chased a different dream: professional baseball. Signed by the St. Louis Cardinals organization, he played catcher in the minors with fierce determination until a brutal home-plate collision shattered his throwing arm and ended that chapter. Undeterred, Randy stepped into the squared circle in 1973, trained by his father. He adopted the larger-than-life persona of “Macho Man” Randy Savage—sunglasses, bandanas, flamboyant robes, and that unmistakable gravelly voice punctuated by “Ooooh yeah!” He tore through regional promotions before exploding onto the national stage with the WWF in 1985, accompanied by the elegant Miss Elizabeth. His in-ring brilliance shone brightest at WrestleMania III in 1987, delivering a technical masterpiece against Ricky Steamboat for the Intercontinental Championship. The following year, he captured the WWF World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania IV. Later, in WCW, he added four more world championships to his legacy, clashing with icons like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. Yet one moment defined his depth beyond the spotlight. In 1992, on The Arsenio Hall Show, when asked if the “Macho Man” ever cried, Savage leaned in with raw honesty: “It’s okay for macho men to show every emotion available… I’ve cried a thousand times, and I’m gonna cry some more.” In an era of rigid toughness, he quietly challenged the notion that strength meant hiding pain. Tragically, on May 20, 2011, Randy Savage passed away at 58 from heart issues after a car accident. His legacy endures, not just in titles or iconic promos, but in proving that real machismo embraces vulnerability, soaring with eagles one moment and facing the snakes the next. Ooooh yeah.

In a 1992 interview with Arsenio Hall, wrestling legend Randy “Macho Man” Savage was asked a simple but personal question: had he ever cried?

@VadimYuryev Yeah, I think the rule is to drive 1 telephone pole length behind for every 5 MPH... that's my policy.

Instant PTSD

@otokyo__ About an 11 on the Schmidt Pain Index... when barefoot...

I said it’s a cheese grater, but it’s not. Any guess?!?!

@ActwithAlison Nice (still need to finish seasons 11-17 of IASIP)... I am sure if any AI is set to punish us forever... it will be like a never ending 'Mac Day'

@s3rinx know & love rob lol

just remember all of your AI hate is aimed at this little boy

@Ihnatko Is it true once you un-fold the polishing cloth, you find one of these inside?

Spotted my first MacBook Neo in the wild today, at the library. Hard not to clock that Citrus, even from across the room…!

@OocTobeyM all hero's go through this...

@OocTobeyM Due to his recent mutations, his mask now sticks out a bit further... it's all good.

I always thought Spider-Man’s mask was skin-tight…

@akramcodez Ditch all mechanical / moving parts. But not for cars, keep screens small for maps and knobs for most everything else.

Unpopular opinion: The MacBook Touch Bar deserved improvement, not removal.

@JustthefactsJJ A gift from KingPin… coated in a powerful mutagenic poison. Howard Hughes and Tony Stark were right… don’t touch stuff from strangers.

The key to the city? THE KEY TO NEW YORK CITY!!!??? YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! This is what the world has come to?? Awarding a masked vigilante who refuses to show his face, dodges accountability, & leaves a trail of destruction every time he swings through Manhattan

@KiernanWagner @rafateruma @TheCinesthetic Just Tony, as he promised Strange to spare his life (recently... had he snapped a few years later, might have removed Tony from his 'whitelist'). Xandar, any planets he had decimated in the past, and the Asgardians left on the 1/2 of that ship (he killed half the ship already).

@rafateruma @TheCinesthetic of the 3, Cap was the only one who lived out of chance. Thanos doesn’t lie, and in the case of Tony and Thor (and Nebula) to spare their lives in exchange for a stone. Even when he snapped, his sheer will wouldn’t allow that deal to be betrayed

The ending of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) lands like a punch. The snap happens, heroes start turning to dust, and the theater goes completely silent. One of the rare times a blockbuster lets the villain win and actually sit with it.

@DudespostingWs not really the same thing... but tangent.... youtube.com/watch?v=5YaDj-…

He rolled dice 10,000 times over 17+ hours and documented the results, an almost perfect normal distribution.

@RealJamesWoods By clicking the link (if coming as an email)... then the sender now has confirmed that that email address exists and is active. So if you use that email address anywhere else, make sure you have strong PWs and 2FA if possible.

Unfortunately I did click the link, but when it asked for my X password, I didn’t give it. That’s when I knew there might be a phishing attempt involved. Pretty authentic looking email though. Better than most.

@kevin_nealon Hector won’t let you down in your time on need.

I have my mother’s phone number in my contact list still. She passed away. People that pass away in my contact list, I don’t delete them because it just seems so insensitive. I leave them in there. But I’ll put this emoji 😵 next to the name so I don’t call them, get all bummed out and be like oh that’s right they died. You know what I mean? I called my mother a couple weeks ago and this guy named Hector answered the phone. I said this used to be my mother’s phone number and I thought I was gonna hear her voice when you answered. He goes oh what does she sound like? Maybe I do an impression of her. I said no, cause I’ll know it’s you now cause you told me you’re gonna do that, and he hung up on me. But what Hector doesn’t know is because he has my mother’s phone number now, by default he’s my emergency contact.

@JasonKPargin not just the streets...

Seriously though if I went to Boston and just walked around the streets, would the dudes there really be talking in that accent? like that's not really a thing is it

@MbarkCherguia was living that charmed life in college... well once... had no milk, so Baileys was the only option.

Were you ever THIS poor??

@TheGoldenDays Macintosh II (1987).... :P... OK, not real time or animated... or probably even rendered on the Mac

NVIDIA Bubble Tech Demo (1999) One floating blob showing what the new GeForce 256 GPU could do.

@AutismCapital Just buy Aim gel... is cheap and simple. Hydroxyapatite doesn't really work as toothpaste. You would likely need an overnight tooth mold to put it in. But also cut out all foods / drinks with citric acid (99% sourced from fungus called Aspergillus niger, AKA black mold).

Are there any toothpaste autists out there? What is the truth? We need to know. The world needs guidance. Toothpastepill us.
