GenX viewers of “The New Zoo Revue” will be happy to know that Doug (Doug Momary) and Emmy Jo (Emily Momary) and both alive and still married after 55 years. I’d like to see them make new episodes where they do things like teach Freddie the Frog not to believe everything Fox News tells him.

Specifically, it doesn't matter what my prompt says. It's clearly reacting to something in memory or another part of the pre-prompt text that I don't directly control and because it gives me no indications, I can't "rephrase."

As the paramilitary cosplay losers illegally descend upon San Francisco, do I need to carry my passport, or are these traitors intelligent enough to accept my much smaller Global Entry card?

EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY. RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.

Mountain Dew has once again bottled Summer Freeze. Of all the limited releases they've ever done, this is my absolute favorite, tasting like a melted Bomb Pop. It's LTO until July 4th, only 9 days hence. Not a single bottle or can exists in San Francisco yet.

Our supermarkets haven't ordered it. This is the direct result of the heavy consolidation of ownership of our markets. Our two big chains both sell Thai chilis, but neither carries Thai basil. If I can't find a heavily promoted PepsiCo product, what hope do I have for anything for marginal groups?

US businesses should put a line item on all invoices calling out the additional “Trump Tariff” on all affected products. This way the voters can be very clear in understanding that they’re getting what they voted for even if they didn’t understand it.

Sorry for the blast as I automatically imported many of my tweets here. As the last tweet says, I generally expect to be participating on Mastodon as @alexr@mastodon.online more than here, but we'll see how things evolve over time.

Well, the client I was using (Twitterrific for Mac) has finally been broken, so I am going to stop participating here. Elon can't gaslight his way out of his incompetence on display. Please find me at @alexr@mastodon.online instead.

Glad to see the top complaint about HomeKit wasn’t addressed in iOS 16.2 at all. There is no excuse for a HomePod on WiFi to be the hub when there are wired AppleTV 4Ks with faster processors available. Just because it booted last doesn’t make it best.

Given the focus on drag events from the Gravy Seals, I think perhaps the drag community should consider LARPing as the military while in drag as well. Steal their look until they abandon it.

As a constituent of Nancy, I’m happy to say goodbye. She was incredibly out-of-touch and the only legislation she presented herself was to rename post offices. I hope a more productive Democrat replaces her.

Anyone who still willingly associates themselves with the Republicans is a trash human. Shun them. Voting for Republicans is voting against your own best interests. You’ve been conned. Vote to support women, freedom from fascism, and economic strength.

All these pictures of complete iMac collections reenforce my opinion that Ruby was the best-executed single color. Also, the project that was slated after Flower Power and Dalmatian would have been awesome.

Doesn’t she have a Secret Service detail? Shouldn’t they keep watch on the residence to ensure safety for her return? Seems like a huge failure from an agency that’s under investigation for 1/6 complicit behavior.

The new AppleTV models are differentiated on the presence of an Ethernet jack. Great. Now can HomeKit please make that a major factor in the resident election so that HomePods in the corner of the house aren’t deciding to be the hub? @wilshipley

Does anybody have a formal count of how many blows to the head Herschel Walker has suffered as part of his sport? He’s appears unable to fully express coherent thoughts in that debate footage.

We all saw the picture of Dr. Oz giving a speech in front of Hilter’s car. Other than that, why is an out-of-state candidate for PA senator doing his big fund raising in Orange Country, CA? WTF is wrong with the folks in Orange Country in the first place?

Tales of sketchy database locking: UberEats doesn’t let you delete an obsolete payment method while any order is in progress, even if it’s using a different payment method (e.g. a new card).

And I had to call three times last night to get a human with working VOIP, who then told me “the system is down.” Today I had to wait 26m on hold and listen to a bunch of gaslighting that “it’s probably not fraud and if it is, it’s your fault.”

Anti-fraud folks at the bank failed to act on 7 identical charges for prepaid credit cards from a bank in South Dakota, a place I’ve not been in the entire history of this credit card. So many potential triggers and they didn’t catch it. Duplicates alone should have stopped it.
