Disappointed in @Qantas. Had to delay our flights home to Victoria because of State of Disaster being issued, no leniency on their fare terms. I would have expected that given the current developing situation they might have some understanding. Nope.

Just purchased a new iPhone 14 Pro. DOA. Support is doing their best, but damn.. their process is not flexible at all if you live outside of major city. Over the last 15 years I've had no problems with @AppleSupport or their hardware, but perhaps back to Android now?

Why do some people wear AirPods in the opposite ears? I see it so often. Is it some big brain hack for better audio quality, or people just be silly? Can someone enlighten me?

i love watching everyone say ChatGPT is gonna replace google and then when MS actually tries that, it immediately starts gaslighting its users and insulting them
My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user" Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

When the culture is more important than the sport.
Ecuadorian fans are chanting "Queremos cerveza" now. That translates to “we want beer.” Elite fanbase. @StoolFootball

I just read FTX's Chapter 11 First Day Affidavit. In it, the appointed restructuring CEO John Jay Ray III, who oversaw Enron's bankruptcy proceedings, calls FTX's case the worst of his career. Its contents are shocking. Here are the highlights: 👇

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.
