@ATT on the left, @Verizon on the right. Same time, same location. Which would you rather have?

@Askcare_line Won’t allow me to DM.

.@Xfinity - What the hell? I spent 40 minutes on hold for tv tech support to be “handed off” to a senior tech…only to find out I’m looking at another 45 minute wait. Not exactly how I define a hand off. This is unacceptable.

So, @NFLonCBS, is there any chance we get to see complete scoring drives for this game? Or maybe @PrimeVideo can take over?

Someone needs to explain to me (@KiddeSafety) what moron designs hard-wired smoke detectors that also require batteries. Also, what moron would install them in 13 foot ceilings (@Lennar)

After a saga that saw the rainbow painted over, repainted, spark outrage from Libs of TikTok, orders from Gov. Greg Abbott, protests, and four arrests, the rainbow crosswalk in Montrose, Houston, is being removed. Thanks for following along. Story TK.

@jen_rice_ All those staff cuts at NOAA, NHC, and NWS make it hard to forecast.

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

Huh.

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

@att is denying there is an outage in Baytown, East Harris County, TX.

WHY??? Your stores are unable to do business. I can’t make calls. Why are you lying??

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

Hey...@ATT Any reason why your website isn't acknowledging the outage in East Harris County, TX. It's been ALL DAY and no updates on return of service. #ATT #OutageUpdate

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

@jen_rice_ Oh FFS…

72% of Amber Alerts are recovered within 50 miles. Hamlin is 400+ miles from Houston. And according to DOJ, only about a quarter of recoveries are due to the WEA alerts. In case you were wondering...

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

.@TxDPS - are you kidding me? 6:02 am? ANOTHER egregious abuse of the #WEA network…it did NOT need to be statewide. It’s why more Texas residents turn off alerts than any in the nation.

You are killing the tool.

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

@keribla @HoustonChron Finally some good news in Houston journalism...glad to see you are coming back.

[Brian Murray @BrianMurray5]

Well, shit.

.@NOAA, @NWS, and @NHC_Atlantic costs each American $.0198 every year. It's a hell of a bargain.

Many people are saying that crippling this agency - dedicated to saving lives - is very bad...very bad.

The @NWS has cancelled incident meteorologist training for forecasters who respond to disasters like wildfires. Incident meteorologists get 250 hrs of training on how to give weather information to emergency managers

@altonbrown I have a hard time eating sushi, sashimi, or nigiri in the US because almost any small shop in Japan is higher quality than even expensive outlets/restaurants here.

When did it become impossible to go to a store without facing a line of sales rep for power providers & telecoms? Talking to you @Lowes @SamsClub @HEB.
