There is no resume function when replaying sports on the @espn app on TV. Can’t watch @F1 on @YouTubeTV anymore, stuck with crap- Sprint Qualifying is not called a Sprint Shootout anymore. Dumb. Stuck for the rest of the season.

@VerizonSupport I just upgraded my daughter’s iPhone at the @AppleSupport Verizon added a $40 charge- AND we still had to call for the eSIM transfer, lost service on all our devices, Had to restart all phones. Hours I can’t get back and ripped off $40. Apple staff was helpful.

@LawyerYouKnow what’s next? Sick of KR. BK is coming. Any other cases?

🚨 🇺🇸 ELON UNCOVERS SOCIAL SECURITY'S VAMPIRE PROBLEM DOGE finds millions of Americans in Social Security database marked as alive at impossible ages—including over 25 million people supposedly aged 100+. When your data shows thousands listed as 150+ years old, and even two individuals marked as 240 and 360 years old, something's not quite immortal... er, normal. Source: @elonmusk

State Farm canceled 1,600 policies in Pacific Palisades last year because California wouldn't allow them to raise premiums to cover their exposure. Instead of fixing an immediate problem, Gov. Newsom worked on 'Trump Proofing' his state to protect illegal immigrants.

FIRE: Eight years after California voters approved a $7.5 billion water bond to construct water storage facilities, not one project has reached completion. Meanwhile, untold millions of gallons of fresh snowmelt and rain continue to flow wastefully into the Pacific Ocean. h/t @thehoffather

Mike Rinder sent us an email today, to let us know that he had shuffled off this mortal coil. That was so like him, thoughtful to the end. We're just coming to grips with this news. Please join us for some thoughts about this singular man.

My heart is broken, and yet I feel compelled to share this. Words do not feel possible in this moment, and yet they are necessary. On January 5, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., we lost a true hero, a legend, a warrior, a survivor, a husband, a father, our family of choice, an amazing person, and a friend in the truest sense of the word. Mike Rinder, you will always be loved, always be missed, and you will always be celebrated. Do you believe in second chances? Well, I do. And god damn it, Mike, you made the most of your second chance like none I’ve ever seen. You were dragged into an abusive and dangerous cult as a child. Your response? You did as many humans would do—myself included—you worked hard to excel, to make your family proud, to commit to a cause, and doing so led you to some very dark places indeed. What makes you unique, Mike, is that you knew the dangers of this abusive organization better than most—firsthand. And yet, when your opportunity came to escape, you turned right around and fought back, knowing full well the weight the consequences of this would bear—on yourself, on your family, on your loved ones. But you did it anyway, because you knew it was the truly right and only honorable thing to do. It is a rare human who has the courage, integrity, perseverance, and humility to walk out of a fire, turn around, and walk right back in to save others. While Marc and I escaped before you, and while we experienced fair game at your hand, we never once blamed you nor held any hard feelings toward you. We knew full well the consequences of our decision to speak out, just like you did. And if it wasn’t you, it would have been someone else. We never doubted that for one second. We were just so grateful to have the opportunity to reunite with you in the free world—something we NEVER imagined would happen until it did. I had the honor of knowing you for 23 years. I think it’s fair to say that I saw you at your best and at your worst. Through it all, you were special and unique. When I was at my utmost lowest point, banished to the Hole in January 2005 and having lost my husband, you showed me kindness and compassion, despite consequences, when no one else did. My heart broke the many times I witnessed David Miscavige physically, emotionally, and verbally abuse you, brutally. I’m so sorry I did not stand up for you in those moments, even if it would have meant the end of my story. It has truly been my honor and blessing to count you as a dear friend, as my family of choice, as my brother, as my fellow warrior. You have always inspired me to keep going, to continue advocating for victims, and to keep fighting for the end of Scientology abuses, even as it was exhausting and took a huge toll on my mental well-being, my safety, and my happiness. Mike, you inspire me to be a better person; to keep fighting the good fight; to keep my head up with the knowledge and commitment that I can do hard things, even when I don’t believe in myself. You never once doubted me. I don’t remember the first time you coined the name “Claire Bear” for me, but however many years ago that was, it stuck. You recognized me for who I am, and while I will shed tears, I will lean into that and learn to appreciate and respect the hole that has been left in my heart. You are so very loved, Mike Rinder. We will take care of Christie and your boys as you asked. Sweet Christie, I love you to the moon and back, more than my own sisters. Shane and Jack, you will be our family forever. We love you as the auntie and uncle Scientology deprived you of. And Mike, thank you for your incredibly beautiful vision: I well remember our conversation back in 2013, where we talked about the impact of disconnection on our kids. “What if we spend time together, vacation together, and have our kids grow up as cousins?” you suggested. Of course, we immediately loved the idea, and so it came to be. F**k you, Scientology and David Miscavige. Mike Rinder is a legend and will always be a legend. He leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, advocacy, and truth, and you will NEVER take that away. I commit to continuing to fight this fight, even when I feel the need to bow my head in exhaustion, in Mike’s honor. I am truly so grateful I was able to be with you to the end. We love you deeply, brother! Rest easy. We’ve got this. Fly high. 🙏🏻 Mike’s final blog post: mikerindersblog.org/farewell/ GoFundMe in honor of Mike’s wishes: gofund.me/36e23033 With love, Claire #ClaireBear

@Desertwitch3 @UltioetVeritas I was seeing MR’s final videos calling ASL out… I was confused but couldn’t dig into the weeds. Based on this account and MR’s final words, i am unsubscribing to ASL youtube.

@UltioetVeritas Oh man, I didn't know about any of this. What happened?

Aaron Smith-Levin. You spent the last year demonizing and vilifying Mike Rinder, making sure all your followers hated him. Now you use his death to make yourself look good. You’re a lowlife as*hol* and this pretense of care is horrible but exactly like you. Anything for subs.

@ESPNF1 @SkySportsF1 the rear facing camera sucks, bring back the Turn It Up lap with no talking! Engines roaring! Way dirty track. QED

@THEChrisLittle So terrible- you lead great reporting from the beginning- grew a quality news team- I have listened to KFI for news since 1993. There will be a new day and we will find you!

KFI AM640 11/11/24 news layoff update: We had 25 staff members including me. 13 were laid off. Three were asked to stay. I haven't spoken to 2 others. Three have not been contacted by management. Four weekday anchors are still on the job.

Whoever told Kamala to do the interview w/ Bret Baier, I would like to send a personal handwritten thank you vote. Kamala’s campaign is in turmoil.

BREAKING: Liam Payne has died at the age of 31 after reportedly falling from a balcony in Argentina. We are extremely shocked and heartbroken to hear this news. Sending our love to his family, friends and fans around the world. 💔

So, just to be clear, if a white entrepreneur applies for this loan they will be turned down on the basis of their skin color? That is obviously completely unconstitutional. Not even close to legal.

Tim Walz: "We can't have four more years of this!" He does realize his running mate is currently in office and has been for the last 3.5 years?

@F1 Gyro cam is a litte barfy on a big TV, but i love the audio with no talking, bring back the Audio UP for a lap during practice!

Shout out to Gyro Cam for some of the best views of the season 😍📐 #F1

WOW! We got Pennsylvania voter registration data. Prepare yourselves: these numbers are EARTH-SHATTERING! Holy cow.

This is hilarious. Kamala Harris told reporters that Ron DeSantis was being selfish and ‘utterly irresponsible’ for not taking her call regarding Hurricane Milton. Hours later, Ron DeSantis says in her 3 and a half years in office, Kamala Harris hasn’t called him once to offer assistance. “She has no role in this. In fact, she's been vice president for three and a half years.” “I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration. She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts.” “She's the first one who's trying to politicize the storm, and she's doing that just because of her campaign.”

Oh my gosh. This was hilarious. This weather man's recent Ex is #Helene. If you want chuckle, check out below. #Hurricane
