.@CheckMyAdsHQ , with your anti-hate speech stance it's really vexing to me that you still rely on this platform. Could you _please_ consider moving off this to something less noxious? Mastodon would give me the warmest/fuzziest feelings but almost anything is better than this.

.@VerizonSupport I placed a phone order yesterday for in-store pickup, since the order system said I could get it that day. Now your chat support is telling me it will be another 24-48 hours before it's available. Unacceptable

.@elonmusk’s new policies are terrible and I won’t take part in a platform which condones misinformation and bigotry.

FFS Elon. Twitter lifts Donald Trump ban after Elon Musk’s poll theguardian.com/us-news/2022…

If I had realized before how easy @gitlab's project templates and CI pipeline makes setting up Jekyll projects, I'd have switched a lot of stuff to Jekyll a long time ago.

So… tell me again how an unrestrained free-market economy will naturally cause companies to act in a moral and responsible way. bbc.com/news/science-environ…

Seems like the lifespan of a @GetRocketbook Everlast is about 2.5 years of daily use. After all this time, only the last page of my notebook will actually take ink.

.@SenAlexPadilla I was disappointed to see that the contact form on your website only works for CA residents. You may be from CA, but you serve the nation in your committee roles and, as a citizen, I expect to be able to contact you even though I'm not from CA.

It was taxes that brought down Capone. It’s going to be the PRA that brings down Trump. Please, God, let it be so.

My @GOP friends, this may seem like a good idea right now, but eventually allowing state legislators to ignore the voting rules of their own states will bite us. No one can be above the law. nbcnews.com/politics/supreme…

The take away from Roe being overturned is that any right not explicitly granted in the Constitution can be removed by the states. We’ve got to get serious about getting legislation passed at the state level to protect our rights.

Finding it hard to get into the spirit of the Fourth given everything happening and the looming sense that the “bombs bursting in air” may not be simply figurative before too much longer.

Dear @MDGOP, could y'all give primary candidates a brief course is grammar and copy editing. Hard to take seriously the candidacy of people who's site says " Demarcate [sic] and republican are not working for the good of the nation or district"

Hey, @TexasGOP, if y'all want to leave, then go. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. npr.org/2022/06/20/110622998…

The whole thing of the #GOP is supposed to be keeping government from telling people how to live their lives. If you don't want to attend the drag story-hour, don't go. But you don't get to tell other people they can't go. npr.org/2022/06/16/110554432…

I'll be voting for @shalleckforag in the MD #GOP primary, if for no other reason than that his opponent is more closely tied to the former president. Trumpites are bad for the country and for our party.
