…for have too many authorized user changes, which were all correcting my wife’s name, that they screwed up. The customer service is abysmal at best and incompetent at worst. At one point, one representative tried to blame me for the “confusion” before blaming @venmo.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

Hey, @Venmo. I hope you don’t stand by your banking partner @synchrony. They spelled my wife’s name incorrectly four times on the account, despite me calling to correct it, and closed the account without telling me…

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

They basically added to their own mistake, which they repeated multiple times, by making another mistake, which only hurts me. The customer service has been abysmal at best and incompetent at worst, and I would advise anyone to bank elsewhere. @synchrony is not reputable.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

Now, @synchrony messaged me and said that many factors go into this decision, including credit history and payment history. I can assure you, those are not the issue. The only issue is them adding my wife’s misspelled name as an authorized user too many times.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

Just wanted to say that @synchrony spelled my wife’s name incorrectly four times on the account, despite me calling to correct it, and closed the account without telling me for have too many authorized user changes, which were all correcting my wife’s name, that they screwed up.

Come on, @wwe. The fanhausens demand that @DanhausenAD be a part of WWE 2K26. He makes more human monies, @mikethemiz can fulfill his obligation to take Danhausen to a WWE championship of some kind, and then drop DLC codes from the Danhausen blimp. Do it…or you…are…cursed!

Update: going back into the airport now.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

They’re evacuating the airport in Kansas City. Not sure why.

@blisstatements The problem is, nobody said his name…

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

Here are some teams that I think are candidates for relocation: Rays, White Sox, Angels (long shot), Grizzlies, Pelicans, Mavericks (long shot, especially if Cuban rebuys them), Winnipeg Jets, Senators (long shot, since a new arena is planned).

Sam Darnold: Super Bowl champion.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

100% completing Super Mario Galaxy is a challenge. You need to get 115 stars, beat Bowser, get the remaining 15 purple coin stars, beat Bowser again, which unlocks Luigi…then do everything you just did again as Luigi and then collect the purple coin stars at the festival.

@ThisIsTNA @AMC_TV What about TNA+ subscribers?

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

@BrickCenter_ Visit Rawanda? That’s…an interesting advertisement.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

All of these are true statements, but require caveats. I lettered in football in high school, studied at Oxford, walked on at Yale, and had my way with Katie Holmes.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

I got on the field of the Yale Bowl. The @nygiants played here from 1973-1974 while Giants Stadium was being built. They played the 1975 season at Shea Stadium.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

This used to be the New Haven Arena. 15 NBA games were played here between 1954-1956. It was demolished in 1974 and is now an FBI building. I do recognize the irony, given recent developments.

[John McLaughlin @JohnPMcLaughlin]

You know what would be a great troll? If @ThisIsTNA would cue up what sounded like @joehendry’s song, but replace “I believe in Joe Hendry” with “The Personal Concierge” in the same cadence.
