Worst call of the World Cup. Just disgraceful.

Really committing an unforced error on this one @AnthropicAI.
Replying to @AnthropicAI
So we basically have Fable on our sub for less time than originally planned, for less usage allowed of the sub than originally allowed, and it also can't be used for coding tasks during the time we CAN use it? Why would anyone even stay subbed at this point?

Hi @AlaskaAir, I just spent the last three days in ERs and flying home for an emergency retina surgery for my wife. It’d be nice if your support agents were at least a little polite about a really unfortunate, costly & draining experience, even if you don’t do medical waivers.

So it goes. After 350 issues & almost 7 years of writing weekly about the world of space tech with @tectonic, The @OrbitalIndex is finished. I’ll miss it, and perhaps more writing with Andrew, but am ready for new horizons and challenges. Bon voyage! orbitalindex.com/archive/202…

Haven Demo achieved mission success after deploying from SpaceX’s Bandwagon-4 flight on Nov 2, 2025. Following nominal separation and stable sun-pointing, the spacecraft captured 4K video of its solar array deployment and is power-positive. 🇺🇸

On a text thread with poll observers trying to help student voters get to their correct polling place. It’s a fucking depressing experience. So many young people getting turned away from participating in our country’s future. Thanks @FrankLaRose 🙄

Such utter bullshit. It’s sadly ironic how every person that supports this felon ends up literally saying the other candidate will do what trump has said he would do. The mind virus might be real, just a bit different than they thought.
💯 Those are their stated goals! Unless @realDonaldTrump wins, this will be the last election. The Dems will legalize all the illegals in swing states, so there be no more swing states. America will become a one-party, deep blue socialist state.

Tomorrow is the day, folks. Do you want: 1. Continuation of an economy that’s growing… or tariffs that the proposer admits will crash it? 2. Less gerrymandering… or more gerrymandering? 3. A president who can listen to questions… or one that publicly pantomimes oral sex?

Apple’s pro headphone line up is such a miss right now. I’m ready to buy AirPods Max and yet the new version are using a 4 year old chipset (H1) and we’re just updated. The AirPods Pro are on H2, but but haven’t been updated since 2022.
