I guess I should post something so my recent inactivity won’t make me appear to be inactive.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! I also remember when I joined Mastodon, so this is a little awkward.... #MyTwitterAnniversary

Just found out that @Arbys no longer has potato cakes. Guess I’m done eating there now.

Every streaming video service should be required to test their app in a room full of impatient toddlers.
If @marcoarment gets a Jeep before @caseyliss it will be the best thing on ATP since John got his Mac Pro! 🤣

Just discovered there’s a Cocomelon song about washing cars, and now all I can imagine is @caseyliss teaching it to his kids on Saturday mornings! 😂 #atpfm

Casey, what made the Golf R more appealing to you than other hot hatch options like the Civic Type R or even the Golf GTI? I’m planning a replacement for our Civic that can complement my wife’s Odyssey and also be fun enough for weekend drives in the Ozarks. #askatp #askneutral

I should add that I’m about John’s age and closer to Marco’s size (on the upper side), which could have some bearing on my choice. #askatp #askneutral
Did someone capture a photo of the first time @Ihnatko held an iPad?! inputmag.com/tech/the-ipads-…

The iPad's original software designer and program lead look back on the device's first 10 years

Newsletter suggestion: I’ve almost never received “This is True” without laughing out loud at something. I’ve been reading it weekly for more than 20 years. I get the paid edition, but the free edition is quite worthwhile. thisistrue.com/welcome

It’s been 4 days, 2 useless trips to the @att store, 4 calls to AT&T service, 3 calls to @Apple, 1 call to a bank, and nearly 8 hours talking to support, and STILL no one can tell me why I’m getting this error preventing me from pre-ordering a new phone! 😡

Just to follow up on this, I was able to successfully purchase a phone, since staff in an actual Apple retail store were able to override or bypass whatever step in the process was causing a problem. As a bonus, they had the model I wanted in stock, so I got it immediately.
I think my new hobby may be walking around public places saying, “Alexa, play Free Bird,” just to see if anything happens.

In case you ever need to win an argument about whether or not people use voice search online.

Apple’s next MacBook Pros can have zero-travel keys that stick when your breathe on them, a single USB port, and only 8GB of RAM, but if they bring back the glowing Apple logo, I’m buying one the first day. – at Lowell, AR
It’s so cute that hotel rooms still have phones!

As expected, Google tells me I'm not the first person to suggest this: welfle.com/writereason/super…
So many people get confused about not only how the semicolon should be used, but even "which colon is which," that I propose we rename it the Super Comma.

I really think Volkswagen's response should have been: "Nobody get upset about the monkey tests -- we were faking those, too!"
