@BenArfmann @presswatch_Now @quantumfiber THANK YOU. It's stuff like this that prevents me from deleting my Twitter account; I vastly prefer @bluesky. (I'm only recently discovering how useful Reddit is, owing to a paean in @theatlantic.)

Well my @quantumfiber has been out since yesterday here in SE PDX. Anyone else having a problem?

@MintMobileCares I'm at my wit's end—a Catch-22 from hell: I can't log into my account without an authentication code and I can't get an authentication code without logging into my account. Two cust. svc. calls were HOPELESS. HELP.

@KenLayne I'll never forget a caller to Car Talk (RIP) way back in the early days of Reince's ascendancy who pointed out that if you remove the vowels from his name, you're left with RNC PR BS

This one Roku-TV channel (ABC News) has their own Steve Karnacky guy, their own sorta somber host, and some inept panel guest nobody else wants . .. his name appears. It's Reice Priebus.

I forgot I canceled cable TV three+ years ago, just kept the Internet. Nothing but 2nd-tier news channels stream through the TV, no Fox/CNN/MSNBC cable channels. These other news streams have different people as "John King" or "Liz Cheney," etc., dreary little sets, feels fake.

@AWeissmann_ coincidentally, I just happen to be listening to it NOW

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

@BGrueskin He was fired on my birthday. Excellent birthday prezzie!

@JuliusGoat I was trying to work out the gag

THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST is, in my opinion, very good. boxd.it/7HczmN

If we elect this guy president again it’s a civic failure far beyond anything I thought possible in my lifetime

@drvolts So good; thank you. (I’m thinking that that Bertrand Russell letter to Oswald M I posted might just have had a bit to do with your thought process.)

@LastWeekTonight Will Drew Barrymore ever again mention mac&cheese on camera???

This week we did something a bit different. We covered two main stories, both related to immigration. One is about mass deportations, and the other is about the man behind one of America’s most popular anthems, “God Bless the USA,” but they’re both — at their core — about Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Because any story about America is sort of a story about Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

@drvolts join the club

@drvolts Bertrand Russell approves

@dog_rates waves, man

This is Cassie. She was chasing waves when they started chasing her back. Had to throw it in reverse real quick. 13/10

@TheMERL yes x.com/pictrix/status…

we also would like to use this tweet to formally recognise all the people who keep asking if we will move to The Other Places we see you, and we hear you, even from here (space)!

hello if you're thinking of leaving this website and going to another one, here's a Helpful Resource for your reference: merl.reading.ac.uk/about-us/place…

Spanish galleon Andalucía, if you're reading this: please note we're unable to accommodate any armed merchant vessels in the galleries

@SamSeder No shame.

I told this to Tim in confidence, but since everyone now knows…. Its one of those attracted/repulsed things. His beanie is so hot but what’s underneath it is so, so, so stupid… youtu.be/z4uyo4jHYww?si…

@DHCalifornicus @dog_rates @15outof10 Me: almost 17 years volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society. But you definitely outrank me!

@pictrix @dog_rates @15outof10 Oh, it's a given. Even at my size! You go where the patients are. Still, thank you. ❤️

This is Mama Dumpling. She unexpectedly went into anaphylactic shock and had blood pooling in her abdomen. Thanks to your recent support of our merch, @15outof10 was able to cover the $8,500 bill for her care. She's now fully recovered and home with her new forever family 🥟❤️‍🩹

One of those weeks where I'm just in disbelief that this election will be a nail-biter. Trump is so manifestly unfit for any office that I cannot imagine voting for him if you're paying attention at all. There's no case for him that doesn't come from a place of hate & resentment
