@billmaher love watching your show, but do you need your staff hooting at every joke like it's the funniest thing ever said? Isn't your audience's laughter enough?

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

Can we petition that games be shortened to 59 minutes? We'd be 5-0-2. Might be easier to do that than to get rid of Lincoln.

Lincoln has lost 9 of the last 14 and his record is now worse than Clay's.

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

Anyone know if Clay Helton is available? Asking for a friend.

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

Wow, @DIRECTV did a commercial during a football game on a channel that's blocked on Directv. That's chutzpah.

@ATT

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

Wow - 12 years. I think Twitter wasn't nearly the den of misinformation back then...

This is the third time I set a @lyft pickup hours in advance and they didn't look for a car until the last second so the driver was going to be very late. Anyone know what's wrong with their algorithm?

I can't @LinkedIn to help me with my account. Their chat function never works and @LinkedInHelp doesn't respond. Anyone know how to get them on the line?

@FrankLuntz For more information on this statistic, see "The Darwin Awards".

If there's justice, Michigan's #CFPChampionship will have an asterisk like the Astros' World Series win. Cheaters sometimes do, in fact, win.

@mayorfunk @Chase Exactly! Is it "unusually high call volume" if that's the CONSTANT call volume?

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

Called the travel service for @Chase. After 10 minutes working with an agent, she put us on hold and then hung up. Called back and explained what happened to the next agent. Again put on hold and again dropped.

See stories on @govtechnews and others that report #localgovernment getting a mobile app for their residents to access services from a phone. Has the #govtech press done a follow-up story on download rates for those apps? Curious whether they're actually being used.

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

@HPSupport How did you reach out? I never heard anything

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

Hate to say it, but the math seems pretty clear:

(Riley - Caleb) < Clay Helton

@Michaele3paws @WeHoCity @LASDHQ "Evicted"?

[Martin Lind @MartinLindLA]

In a fantastic example of #localgovernment "do as I say not as I do", I (deservedly) got a parking ticket for an expired meter by @WeHoCity @LASDHQ ...who then parked right in front of me at an expired meter (note the blinking red light).

@billmaher It's such a bummer that @billmaher has his writers in the audience as a laugh track. He's so funny on his own, it's such a bummer there are people paid to laugh at the jokes they write.
