@CVSHealth It's now more difficult for your customers because we have TWO different barcodes. The POS machines at the pharmacy didn't bother telling me to use the other barcode; they just refused to scan. I didn't even know there were two.

@katystoll @katieporterca The billionaire fake farmer? That Tom Steyer?

Katie Porter: It's time to drop out and endorse Steyer. I know there's a double standard happening (although dang those videos were not good) but please for the love of god don't fuck us. Let's rally behind a candidate who at least says he wants to fix healthcare. @katieporterca

@fortworthchris The people in Vari's commercials seem incredibly unhappy. Not a single smile to be seen.

Today I sit down with Jason McCann, Co-Founder and CEO of Vari - a company that started when his business partner stood at a cardboard box complaining of back pain and turned that moment into a brand that has shipped millions of desks and transformed over a thousand offices. Jason built Vari direct-to-consumer in an industry that had never seen it. He bootstrapped the company while every instinct in the market said raise capital and burn cash. He became the fastest-growing company in Dallas, survived COVID after just putting $15 million into a TV campaign and opening 12 showrooms, and came out the other side as a fundamentally different leader. We go deep on what it actually takes to innovate legacy product categories, how he recruited the former Chief People Officer of Southwest Airlines over a cup of coffee, and why an introvert had to learn to over-communicate when hundreds of families were counting on him. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

@TheExtremeMusi1 I’m a boomer and I listened to them before most gen-xers were even conceived. Please.

Only Gen Xers will know what this album is.

@bruce_goldfarb @SethAbramson I wish I could do it right now.

@SethAbramson When you think about it, if you *were* teleported, Waffle House is the kind of place you'd end up.

My God.. a MAGA lunatic who is responsible for the lives of millions derangedly claimed he has the power to teleport and the most the NYT could say about it is "experts are dubious" We're cooked, fam

@RobinSMessing @PettyLupone My doctor told me that ears don't grow back because they're cartilage.

@PettyLupone Gee--I wonder if there were any other staged assassination attempts to help someone get elected. And in a totally unrelated story: It's remarkable how quickly Donald Trump's hearing appendage recovered after one prominent incident. You could almost call it eary.

Well that’s really fucking interesting.

@DrewValentinoXL Drug dealers on Sniffies in Philly are using your pic. I guess it's a compliment but…

@billy_penn The photo in your article about the WSW Historic District is the 1200 block of Locust St, not the 1300 block. If it were, the intersection would be Juniper, but it's Camac.

@Purina Please label your cat food more clearly and consistently. My cat doesn't like paté food, and I keep buying it by mistake. How am I supposed to even notice this labeling? Friskies and Fancy Feast both do this.

@ThatSeanHarding Mine thinks I'm on an elliptical.
