@GetSpectrum @Brewers @MLB @MLBNetwork I stand by what I said and would encourage advertisers like @gruber_law to examine their spend because unless you speak Spanish @brewers may not be reaching nearly as many people. I guess #baseball isn’t an American sport anymore.

Last night at the bar in Racine WI five guys all swearing at both @GetSpectrum and @Brewers and @MLB @MLBNetwork to a man we all said f..ck the Brewers. I guess they’re too greedy to want fans to watch on tv neither the bar nor any of us will pay the additional fee to watch what should be free with advertising! #BaseballTwitter

Trying to watch a simple Brewers game shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. 🤦‍♂️ Why do fans need MULTIPLE subscriptions just to watch ONE game? CHSN, Brewers.TV, blackouts… it’s ridiculous. @MLB @Brewers you’re making it harder for loyal fans to actually follow the team. Fix the streaming mess and make the games easy to watch again. We want #baseball, not a billing puzzl

@Allstate @USDOL After 13 years working with the Allstate Pension Center regarding my court-approved QDRO pension benefits, I’m now being asked for unusual additional identity/citizenship documentation despite being born in the United States, having a valid Social Security number, and being 66 years old. Even representatives told me they’ve “never seen a request like this.” I’m simply asking Allstate to explain in writing: Why a birth certificate is being required now when the QDRO was legally entered and approved by Allstate in 2013? What policy or regulation justifies delaying pension benefits already in process? My hope is this gets resolved professionally and promptly because delaying pensions payment improperly and QDRO administration errors are illegal.

@semrush I have a high end subscription. Tried to give you "feedback" on your site, but your feedback is broken. Here's my complaint. Mybobs.com a large discount furniture retailer shows up with a 7 figure Paid Ads budget in @spyfu but in your system you show it as $0. WTF?! We see the ads on Google! This is not the first time. What is wrong with your system. This is not a small mistake.

@Zoom I continue to complain and ask both hrockyromero@gmail.com who runs BusinessLongevity.online or zoom.us/j/3106777253 to stop spamming me with your unwanted never subscribed to calendar invitations! I believe you're both in violation of the law @ftc @FCC

Thanks. As an agency owner, I've instructed both my staff and clients under contract to forward any approach and notify me. Unfortunately, as you probably know, Google recos are not always what's best for clients, but what's best for Google's own ad revenue. Google will not take responsibility for their recos.

@JimBilello been seeing this alot. it's common now.

I’d like to raise a question to others in the Google Ads / agency space… Has anyone else noticed an increase in Google reps reaching out directly to clients who are already under contract with an agency? We’ve recently experienced this with one of our key accounts, and it creates a few real concerns: • It bypasses the agency that is actively managing the account day-to-day • It can confuse the client about strategy and direction • And frankly, it can make Google appear disconnected from its own Partner ecosystem As a Google Partner for over a decade, we’re always open to collaboration and insights from Google teams. But there’s an established structure for a reason—communication should flow through the agency managing the account. When that doesn’t happen, it puts everyone in a difficult position… especially the client. Curious if others are seeing the same trend, and how you’re handling it. #GoogleAds #PPC #DigitalMarketing #GooglePartner #MarketingAgency #ClientManagement #PaidSearch #Advertising #AgencyLife #MarketingStrategy

@OhioTurnpike thanks for being incompetent! Your ezpassoh.com doesn't work! Your 440-971-2222 number is a total failure! At least you offered a QR code for smart phone payment. Send your IT programmers back to school! I'm surprised anyone pays their tolls to you! @ftc Oh...thanks for not accepting the iPASS. Warning to the public "don't travel through OHIO!"

@ClimeRadar you have the correct wind speed and direction right now in Racine. I will make you my default service because @WeatherBug and @accuweather have been totally wrong for the last few hours! I’m watching the tell tale flags out my window. The wind is out the east south east at 3-14 mph but “bug” and “not accu” are totally wrong reporting northwesterly winds. I’m done with Bug and Not Accu as a boater they are dangerously misreporting the weather and this is commonplace for them! I will delete their apps off my phone.

@PaulDMauro @barbukowski Damn you actually play. Who knew.

We passed a funky little bar called Cafe Bukowski on our last day in Rome so stopped in for a drink and they had a guitar against the wall so I helped myself. I can now say, “I played Rome.” The European Tour 2026 — double live album forthcoming. @barbukowski

@Dakota_Meyer thank you for your service and for your words of wisdom today on @OutnumberedFNC Dakota Meyer. U.S. Marine. Medal of Honor Recipient. Today Apr 17, 2026 speaking about the political turmoil today between Democrats, Progressives and Republicans. “What we’re seeing is a symptom of how good life in America is and how easy things are today, how struggles aren’t real here. We live in a time in history in our country where it’s the easiest time you’ve ever seen human beings live. You can get things anytime you need them. I go back to the time when I fought overseas. When we were fighting and your life was on the line and you were truly wondering if you were going to make it another step and you were watching people sacrifice and willing to fight. Nobody was fighting for Republicans. Nobody was fighting for Democrats. Nobody was fighting for Christians or Muslims. What they were fighting for was good and they were fighting to make the world they were touching a better place because they believed they had that power to do that and it was the right thing to do. I always talk about Iraq and Afghanistan. What I will tell you is you can look at the political aspects of why we were there, but what I will tell you is where there was an American flag and an American walking with a rifle. The world was a better, safer place because we were there… we’ve got to get back to that we don’t want chaos and hard times for this country, but I do believe that hard times would fix every single problem in this country and make people appreciate what they have. All of this is driven by comfort. Emotions that are anchored in logic is very powerful, but logic that is anchored in emotions is very dangerous and that’s what we see right here.” Dakota Meyer Medal of Honor Recipient. Dakota Louis Meyer (born June 26, 1988)[1] is a United States Marine serving with the United States Marine Corps Reserve. A veteran of the War in Afghanistan, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Meyer is the second-youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, the third living recipient for either the Iraq War or the War in Afghanistan,[2] and the first living United States Marine in 38 years to be honored.[3] #DakotaMeyer #MedalOfHonor #USMarine #MarineCorps #Veteran #AmericaFirst #Patriotism #Leadership #ServiceBeforeSelf #AmericanValues #PoliticalTurmoil #UnitedWeStand #FreedomIsntFree #HardTruths #CommonSense

@QuickBooks My consulting rate is $150 an hour with a five hour minimum. I can teach you a lot more about your broken system than you would benefit me. Should you want to pay my rate with a five hour minimum contact me otherwise don’t respond on this thread again.

@JimBilello I can take a closer look at the account and your recurring payments. When you have a moment, please send me a DM so I can keep your information secure, and I’ll start researching right away. x.com/messages/compo…

Hey @QuickBooks, I just spent billable time trying to read my own time entries because your “modern” report cuts off descriptions. So I switch to classic view (because, you know, I actually need the data)… …and you hit me with a popup: “Why do you want to do that? We fixed what was broken!” No… You hid it! Big difference. Nothing says “efficient accounting software” like forcing experts like me to export to Excel just to read what I wrote. Maybe your next upgrade should let users actually see their own data?! #QuickBooks #AccountingSoftware #SmallBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #SaaS #UXFail #ProductDesign #Bookkeeping #TimeTracking #Frustrated

@QuickBooks @Intuit QuickBooks just sent my client a slick “set up recurring payment” email… Looks official. Looks trackable. Looks like it should live somewhere in the system. Except it doesn’t. No record. No dashboard. No clear “approved” status. No accountability. Just a ghost link floating in the void. If the client sets it up? Maybe you get notified. Maybe you don’t. This is exactly how businesses lose time, money, and trust. We don’t need more features—we need systems that actually track what they send. #QuickBooks #AccountingFails #SmallBusiness #SaaSProblems #BusinessOwners #Automation #FinTech #UXDesign #EntrepreneurLife

@Apple @FBI Phishing scam received just now.

@Brewers @MLB and THIS is why I can no longer watch the brewers. I will NOT pay more to see what should be a free televised event here in Racine. The Milwaukee Brewers are playing today! They’re facing the Baltimore Orioles at 1:10 PM Central. You can watch the game only if you pay more on Bally Sports Wisconsin or listen on the Brewers Radio Network. #sports

@McDonalds the floor this morning at 10 am CDT so sticky it practically pulled my shoe off in front of the soda machine syrup on the floor. I told the manager and was ignored. I’ve been here 20 minutes. Guess they’d rather have the floor disgusting at this location.
