A test screening costs up to $55,000 and takes weeks. So most cuts never get tested.
TestScreen runs the screening on a digital twin of the US population. Engagement and eight emotions, second by second, back within 24 hours.
Test every cut before you spend.

@VodafoneUK I repeatedly requested cancellation of a router data SIM and was told it was cancelled. Despite not using or needing the service, nor any invoices, I subsequently received a debt-collection letter. For simplicity, I paid the balance your store identified, yet have received another one. Please arrange urgent complaints-team review and a collections hold. Details available privately.

Back in 2019, I posted this poll. Has anything changed?

How is it possible for cheats and liars to promote these bogus aircon replacement products? It is not possible to cool a room without putting the heat somewhere else. This is a fan, people. It will never actually cool anything. https://t.co/9u1Mobvzw7

Minnesota voters on government accountability: More numbers, fewer soundbites.

"Talk in numbers, not vibes."

They want: Dollar amounts. Timelines. Agency responsibility. Solutions over blame.

@RepBradFinstad - your constituents have spoken 👇

#Minnesota #Accountability

California voters to politicians: Drop the drama. Show the receipts.

"If you cannot bring receipts, better not to say it at all."

They want: Rules. Dates. Costs. Local examples. In English AND Spanish.

@RightScopee He’s flawed but utterly remarkable. I’d give him a B+

@ElonMuskNews47 The need is for a new verb like to 'tweet'.
X-ing or to 'X' feels wonky.

@aakashgupta Can you share the x axis so we can have a better guess at the timing?

There seems to be a bug in the UI of OpenAI's new release of ChatGPT5. Version 1.2025.260 (1758588131). The Search box is truncated. Have cleared relevant caches and it seems stuck. Search still works but you can't see what you're typing. Anyone else have the same issue?

@labourlewis @rorysutherland Dead right @rorysutherland. Political parties have forgotten the people who don’t shout, moan or draw from the state. That’s crazy because they are the ones who are paying for it. Most Brits are decent hard working people who are seeing incomes shrink and taxes rise. Anger mounts

My Model Y is parked in airport storage and losing over 15 miles per day with all standby features turned off. At this rate of discharge it will be totally flat when I go to pick it up. @Tesla service won’t respond.
@teslaeurope @teslaownersSV @Teslarati HELP!!

Was anyone else completely underwhelmed by Apple’s ‘special event’. These things are morphing into a parody of the ones where they used to launch innovative new products. Steve would be appalled.

Journalists aren’t talking about about the possible role of X in maintaining traction relating to the Epstein story. What’s your take?
