Spoke too soon. Elton John, he is not. #NCAA Lacrosse, if you’re going to schedule spring break #LAX games, coaches, parents, PLEASE ask your athletes to respect the space they’re sharing with the public. (beer bottles left in plant boxes up and down hotel hallways? Yuck.)
If you’re staying in an 8-floor hotel with an open atrium and START PLAYING AMPLIFIED MUSIC at 10:00
PM like this open mic night at the college town bar, please understand, the other guests in the hotel are not staying here for your spring break lacrosse week afterparty.
Don’t get me wrong, the kid is decent, he deserves the cheers he’s getting, and I appreciate that his teammates and whoever else are supporting him in his music endeavors.
But the large, cavernous, ECHOING atrium of a hotel that is populated by people who expect the 10 PM quiet hours to start at 10 PM is not the place for it. Please, for the love of the gods, and all that is holy, move the party to a conference room.
Stop saying Alex Pretti was at a protest. Kristi Noem was lying. When ICE raids a neighborhood, small groups of people congregate, blow whistles to warn the community, and record ICE's actions. That is not a protest. It’s humanity in action.
I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.
Also: DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE REAR/TAIL LIGHTS ON, AND IF SOMEONE IS FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS BEHIND YOU, FIRST, CHECK YOUR SPEED, THEN, CHECK YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS
is there some kind of standardized Morse code/semaphore/messaging method that conveys “turn on your goddamned headlights, no one can see you, you absolute fuckwit”
@PetiteMadame@GeorgetMonique And have always loved your art history references! (For folks who aren’t familiar, have a look for Frederic William Burton, 'Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs', 1864!)
@safelite When that CSR tried to reach out to multiple different shops for schedule details, she couldn’t get anyone to answer the phones there, either. This is a terrible system.
@safelite my replacement windshield leaked water into the battery access point, flooding the compartment, frying the wires and bricking the car battery. Trying to reach customer service, per instructions on your own websites. “No one is available to take your call; goodbye.”
@safelite I had tried this. It directed me to call 800-800-2727. Which gave the “No one is available to take your call, goodbye” message.
I finally texted that number, and eventually received a different number from this, and from the other customer service number on the website.
This voice tree results from calling the three nearest shops, AND your website phone numbers, including “Please call us” when I log into the MySafelite website to initiate a warranty repair.
@LakeTania@CarlottaPini Lesbian falls pretty squarely under the “Q” umbrella. Trans kids exist. Trans adults exist. Accepting trans kids for who they are and supporting them isn’t abuse.
