@sethdoane Sending you an email about our historic expedition attempting the first ever circumdrive of Eurasia leaving Rome next Monday 2/2. Arriving in Rome this afternoon. Would love to connect.

Searching doesn't find "silence calls from unknown callers", either.

@apple's latest iOS update is the worst one I have ever seen. Bugs include: Try adding a photo to a contact from the photo. Try pasting a # in a contact's field. The new screen caller feature doesn't work, "silence calls from unknown callers" is no longer functional.

@FedEx called to say I could change the delivery address for a package addressed to my house destroyed by the Eaton fire. But when I call them they don't allow the recipient to change the address and don't give any option to talk to a human. Empathetic way to treat fire victims.

My chats bounce, and the agent, April, did not even give me a few seconds to ask any question before disconnecting me, after I waited for 55 minutes for her to authenticate me. DREADFUL SYSTEMS AND SUPPORT!

When it was picked up, SIX (6!) authentication attempts failed due to different bugs in their system. When the seventh succeeded, I was told to remain connected that I would be connected to their technical team in 25-30 minutes. 52 minutes later, nothing has happened. CONTINUES.

My experience switching to @Verizon has been absolutely dreadful. They failed to switch my number. Chatting with @VerizonSupport led to me getting disconnected before the chat was picked up ("Thank you for chatting with Verizon"). CONTINUES BELOW.

The director behind When Harry Met Sally was a genius and will be sorely missed. @robreiner_rr brought happiness to so many.

@LinkedInHelp Thank you. I DMd you, but haven't heard back yet.

@linkedin My account was hacked today and my profile and messages deleted. Can you please undo all the actions taken by the hacker today?

You know the US has fucked up when even the UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal.

I am told by @Barclays that the one I ought to fire is @AskBarclaysUS. Fired then!

How you can make three different mistakes on three successive attempts escapes me, even with my already low expectations for you, after you failed to honor the promised that got me to adopt your products to begin with. You're fired!

@Barclays , you are fired, for repeated gross incompetence. I ordered a replacement card. You messed the first delivery, keeping the card number after I told you the card was lost. You messed the second delivery, telling me you sent it to a different address than I requested. TBC

@hermanntertsch Esto es un disparate ignorante. Mexico existia mucho antes de la conquista española. Los españoles mataron muchisima gente en Mexico antes de 1810. Hay cosas hermosas en Mexico que predatan a la conquista, empezando con la civilizacion maya y las piramides que cantan.

Los motivos por los que España no debe pedir perdón a México. 1. México solo existe gracias a España. 2. Todos los días debería México agradecer a España ser cómo es de maravilloso México por haber sido España. 3. Todo lo mejor de México tiene como fecha de partida 1521. 4. Todos los desastres de México, pérdida de territorio masiva, guerras, brutalidad en la represión de cristianos, crueldad infinita contra los indígenas, despotismo, terrorismo, poder del narcotráfico y gobiernos socialistas del crimen organizado se producen con fecha de partida en 1810. 5. Y continúan con AMLO y Sheinbaum. #utm_source=rrss-comp&utm_medium=tw&utm_campaign=fixed-btn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eldebate.com/historia/20251… a través de @eldebate_com

Felicitaciones @JMilei ! Cuando se lucha contra la corrupcion, la inflación, la sobre-regulación y la devaluación, la gente lo reconoce!

@etrade reporting is abysmal. Check this 752% intraday gain of NASDAQ according to E*Trade:

And thus, not with a bang but with a whimper, Americans lost their freedom of speech.

Very saddened by the passing of David Baltimore, an extraordinary scientist with whom I had the good fortune of sharing time and conversations at MIT, Caltech and Napa Valley. May he rest in peace. His scientific legacy shines on.
