Love seeing the editing typo too late.
I had a kafkaesque hour trying to solve a problem using HP customer service today that at one point, no lie, required five puzzles to be solved to log in, like it was the damned sphinx. And it still didn’t solve anything.
One thing I do miss about old twitter is there was a period where companies obviously thought it important to monitor and it closely to deal quickly with complaints. It was faster than getting lost in a phone tree, or now the dreaded AI chat that never solves anything.

Warfighters can't use just any flute.

I just keep thinking about the counterterrorism experts Kash Patel fired to get a fleeting back pat from Trump.
I’m not sure this will be as easy to get out of as he and Wall Street appear to believe today.
I have never hated a commercial as much as I hate that spot. The worst is when it’s back-to-back with too folksy the get out of your time share guy.
Wait, is this the guy who does those “We’re all gonna die” life insurance commercials that make me change the station? This explains so much.
He didn’t even wait until Taco Tuesday?
Boar on the Florsheim.
Marco Rubio: big shoes to fill
Could this gyre widen any harder?
