Did anyone else have @F1 F1TV randomly cancel their subscription today? Mine was paid in full for the whole year and now it no longer works. Can't get in touch with anyone at F1TV customer support. #fail

@MattP1Tommy Did anyone else have F1TV randomly cancel their subscription today? Mine was through Apple, paid in full for the year, now can't watch any races.

[Nathaniel Salzman @NathanielS]

@F1 F1TV subs broken, can't restore my purchase — I paid my annual subscription in full back in March. Apple shows the subscription is paid and active. You're telling me it's cancelled, giving me no way to fix it. Customer service chat is down, and email link is broken. #fail

So with that. I’m out. If word reaches me that things are better, maybe I’ll give it another go. Until then, and while you remain the world’s most efficient distribution channel for hate and nonsense, I’ll be spending my attention elsewhere. Please do better in my absence.

[Nathaniel Salzman @NathanielS]

Well @twitter, it’s been real. I tried coming back, grooming my feed, and focusing on the positive, but because of how your platform works, all the acrimony and bullshit still finds its way into my feed. I hope that someday you re-prioritize on the human experience.

@Lin_Manuel Let’s get this guy in front of a crowd!

@willsmith @donttrythis That is a fantastically surreal sentence. I love living in the future where one can have a personal laser.

[Nathaniel Salzman @NathanielS]

I wholesale reject the idea that you should subject yourself to nonsense under the pretense that it’s egalitarian, or worse, that it’s good for you. Read a book you disagree with and then purge your social internet experience like you’d expel a wasp’s nest from your bedroom.

@kitsonhere If cannabis-infused soap doesn’t already exist, it seems like it ought to. There’s caffeinated soap FFS.

@jockowillink My alarm is set for 6:00 AM, but since the time change I’m waking up naturally at 5:00. I figure if I shave 30 min off that, I’d be up at Jocko’clock and physically speaking it wouldn’t be a big deal. Perhaps others can do the same before that window closes.

[Nathaniel Salzman @NathanielS]

@nachosarah I really appreciate that you are leading by example in this regard.

@donttrythis @RealGDT I’m a veteran UX Designer and I think you’d like it less than you’re imagining. It’s a lot of solving the same problem over and over on projects with maybe a two year shelf life. Also weapons-grade focus group hell. Do you actually mean product designer?

@donttrythis Japan is lousy with adorable little runabouts and I want all of them!

[Nathaniel Salzman @NathanielS]

I just want to shout out @donttrythis, who is taking time out of his surely busy schedule of making stuff and being awesome to sincerely and kindly respond to so many people on twitter whose ignorance and small mindedness are not worth anyone’s time, let alone his. #vote

@GallagherBarker Go get’em Jim!

The line for early voting in downtown Chicago is literally around the block. That’s so encouraging. I just dropped my mail-in ballot off at the election commission personally. My civic duty is done, how about you? #vote

@Dannmace If ice cream didn’t melt, you would have to chew it, and that would ruin most of what makes ice cream great. Ice cream melting is a feature, not a bug. You deciding that ice cream melt is bad is an entirely arbitrary choice on your part, bru.

@donttrythis I would prefer Thanos. At least he’a sincere.

@jenmarquezginn Ah! Well wherever he’s going is lucky to have him.
