I have been on this planet for 53 years, and I have never been this sad, angry, and embarrassed to be an American.
And I've been through Reagan, two Bush admins, and the first go round of this fucker.
And JFC, the Dems. I know they're limited in what they can do legislatively, and the courts move too fucking slow, but FFS, get out there and make a scene and get yourself arrested or *something*.

Oh, you dirty fuckers…
One of my doctors' offices called me to try to reschedule an appointment because the doctor won't be available that day. I was busy working on something in another room when the call came in.
Per the voicemail they leve, I called them back to reschedule the appoint ment. I placed my call at 11:40. Navigated the call tree and got in queue for the appointment-scheduler. Before placing me in queue, the IVR noted that the operators become unavailable between 1200 and 1300 for lunch. I figure, "fine. Whatever. That's 20 minutes from now".
Nearly twenty minutes pass. At 11:59:xx, the IVR informs me, "you're next in queue". Then, not a full second after it says the last word of that "next" notice, the clock goes to 12:00:00 and the line is hung up.

So I have the best #review ever for the Nord by #oneplus -
I have a #tic caused by #tourettes that makes me accidentally throw my #phone at stuff I don't like.
It doesn't have a case and I haven't broken it yet after throwing it about 7 times, twice on concrete.
Also the camera is really nice and it does everything well, and was only like 200.
I have no complaints. Your phone survived the clumsiness person ever without a case.
Multiple people knew I had #tourettes before I did I am coming to find.
People I knew in the past. From adulthood and a person from high school. Where they knew someone who did, and figured I did, but then didn't mention anything cuz they figured I already knew, and didn't want to be rude.
Kinda wished they'd have said something. I might have known before 27 xD
This platform has proved to be pretty quite for me outside of one math meme re-share that went a little viral :).
I'm still checking in now and then but I've set up shop pretty much on Bsky, Cara, and still have active Meta accounts but, that's up for review for sure now.

So today I learned that the free WiFi on #losangeles metro buses is faster than the Internet I pay for at home.
So is my 5G data for that matter.
I found this out when I left a peer to peer download service going on when my phone connected to the bus WiFi, and noticed it downloading about twice as fast on the bus as it was at home.
So good job #LAmetro!
Boo my Internet provider. The #government is doing a better job.
That's a really low bar dudes.
