I stayed up way past the normal bedtime to watch. Awesome fireworks display for the 250th!

Great July 4th weekend!

The American flag still waves proud & free.

Was watching the @Phillies game tonight and enjoyed listening to @Astro_Christina during the top of the 3rd.

Spit my drink out laughing when @JohnKruk asked her if she ever wanted to push the other astronaut who was a Cowboys fan out of the space station air-lock. Nice!

[Mike Makoid @MikeMakoid]

YES!!

@grok Hello…@Grok…??

(Gulp)

[Mike Makoid @MikeMakoid]

@grok Maybe this one if you reply with something to the effect of, “You’re a good human, Mike, and you were always polite. You can live!”

Thank you, Grok. :-)

Hello…

@Verizon @VerizonSupport @VerizonNews @verizonfios

A little help, please?

[Mike Makoid @MikeMakoid]

Hey — @VerizonSupport — Please roll a truck to Forrest Avenue between W9th & W10th in Conshohocken, PA. You have a mess of wire dangling to the sidewalk.

It’s been there for days. Better clean it up before a kid plays Tarzan and tries to swing across the street! Thx.

I remember reading this a few years after 9/11. A Catholic priest seeing people falling and giving absolutely from afar.

#NeverForget

[Sachin Jose @Sachinettiyil]

The first recorded casualty on the morning of 9/11 was Roman Catholic Priest and NYFD Chaplain Father Mychal Judge. He was witnessed calling upon the Holy Spirit and absolving people as they fell to their death.

Pope Leo XIV was gifted an #Eagles hat by the Archbishop of Philadelphia Nelson J. Pérez at the Vatican yesterday.

I've seen a lot of things on Twitter...

This might be one of the coolest. Look at that tortoise go!

[Nature is Amazing ☘️ @AMAZlNGNATURE]

This dude shows a tortoise it can go way faster with a ride and it even learns how to turn like a pro.

I am 100% certain I’m not the only person working in wireless who has lived this with their teenage kids…

@physicsgeek While driving in a rural area…

Kids: “Dad, I’m getting no WiFi - phone doesn’t work!”

Dad: “No - while out of the house driving, you mean to say that you’re getting no cellular service. 4G and 5G are mobile technologies while WiFi stationary.”

Kids: “Huh? … No WiFi, Dad!!!”

Great job, kid!

Neighbor made a deal with this kid that if he could get this old tractor up and running, he could keep it

This is great - enjoy seeing posts like this!

This American dude on his way to his Japanese fluency decides to talk to a local Japanese grandpa, and it turned out to be the most wholesome convo ever 🥹

@aaronp613 Before my first iPhone, I had the Motorola ROKR E1 with Cingular Wireless service.

In 2005, it was the first device with iTunes. Apple learned much from that collaboration.

War is never inevitable. Weapons can and must fall silent, for they never solve problems but only intensify them. Those who sow peace will endure throughout history, not those who reap victims. Others are not enemies to hate but human beings with whom to speak.

[Mike Makoid @MikeMakoid]

Pope Leo XIV has local ties!

I’ll wager he can not only pronounce Conshohocken correctly — but he’s probably been here many times!

[Villanova University @VillanovaU]

Today, we joyously celebrate the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, a moment of profound significance for the global Church. A Villanova alumnus, Pope Leo XIV is the first Pope from the United States and the first Augustinian friar to be elected.

Pretty cool -- Learned something new today!

[Adam Joseph @6abcadamjoseph]

WHY IS THE PAVEMENT WET? NO RAIN

Basically the concrete is sweating. After a cold snap, or prolonged winter season, concrete is much colder than the air, so the concrete starts to condense & creates its own little water droplets. like a cold can of soda outside on a summer day.
