Extremely disappointed that I bought the new #pixeltablet from @madebygoogle to replace my Hub Max, as it was advertised to work as Google Home. But it does not have all the same functionality including the Nest camera and adding my spouse as a user. Looking into returning it.

@fasc1nate Hello brother.

Without saying its name, what is a tv show that can be instantly recognized based on one quote?

@DiscoPriest I would love one.

@DiscoPriest I've been on the BlueSky waiting list since it launched. Really hoping to get an invite as I don't want to use Threads as I extricated myself from Meta years ago.

The five men who lost their lives on the Titan have been getting wall-to-wall coverage in the media worldwide. Meanwhile, the estimated 700 who died when the Adriana sank off the coast of Greece, mostly women and children, have been essentially forgotten. democracynow.org/2023/6/22/a_ti…

@QuintLyn @DiscoPriest I've retweeted that a couple times. Doesn't matter because the only people I know on Twitter generally agree with me politically.

@Malisent @DiscoPriest Enh. There's a lot wrong with the world right now. Neil Gaiman's been pointing out that 500 refugees died on a boat last week. Which has gotten far less attention than this thing.

Although, I apologize @DiscoPriest and @QuintLyn . If I'm going to freak out about stuff, it should be abortion.

The irony - what humanity looks like 2023! Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children. The rich The poor

@DiscoPriest @hankgreen I didn't know you lost your child. It doesn't mean much, but I did want you to know that I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sending you belated internet hugs.

Folks who have had big health thing come uninvited into your life...what did people in your life do for you / get for you that you appreciated?? I've had a couple quite nice things, but it's a tricky thing.

@Namaslays Oh, I misread that. Thought your vacation was two weeks long.

@Namaslays 2 weeks? That's amazing! My husband and I negotiate over 4 day weekends.

@matticus I quit for 6 months and now my body is a mess. Lesson learned, no breaks!

yoga after a few weeks of not practicing and my body is just not cooperating

@QuintLyn @DiscoPriest Sure, but people suffer all the time. I'm just trying to parse why mentally some things resonate more than others. I realize high press coverage contributes.

@Malisent @DiscoPriest Probably because it's a good thing to not want people to suffer?

@QuintLyn @DiscoPriest Exactly. Idk why it's bothering me so much.

@Malisent @DiscoPriest This is one of those "no human should have to go through this, but these idiots really brought it on themselves" things.

A U.S. postal worker and a utility lineman both died this week in Texas from working in extreme heat. Meanwhile, Gov. Abbott just signed #HB2127 banning cities from mandating rest and water breaks for certain workers. Abbott is once again putting Texans in harm’s way.

@SenatorCollins Critical military infrastructure? The thing we spend the most on while we have a massive homelessness population in the richest country in the world?

Today, during the Senate Appropriations Committee Markup, Chair Murray and I successfully advanced two bipartisan funding bills unanimously (28-0). These important bills fund everything from agricultural research, to the FDA, to our critical military infrastructure.
