@TPLINKUS Where can I buy additional chimes for the D 210 doorbell so that I can hear it in other rooms of the house?

@JoshYellsThings Hi! I watched your HOI 4 Italy tutorial vid, but now I can't find it on your YouTube page or by searching. Could you post the link to that? This is my first time playing HOI 4 and I'm totally lost!

@InstacartHelp I haven't used you in years, but got an order canceled due to "suspicious activity." I sent my Driver's License, but now they want a photo of my CC and me holding my license up to my face.
Am I being phished?

@Costco I placed a grocery delivery order this morning and got an immediate text that the order was canceled. I can't log in, because it says "user_deactivated=true"

Every now and then it’s nice to remember this orangutan’s reaction to this trick.

Bit of a name drop but I’m hanging out with John Carpenter right now and I quote “why the fuck aren’t you making another Deus Ex game?” is what he asked.

@audubonsociety how much do I need to donate to get a subscription to Audubon magazine? I couldn't find an answer anywhere on the donation page that was linked in your email.

@Kroger The frozen items in my delivery order arrived melted for the third time in a row. I thought that by choosing a 9am delivery time, that wouldn't be the case this week but I was wrong. This ice cream was inedible! After two spoonsful I threw it out and had to rinse my mouth

@kroger this is the third week in a row that the frozen items in our delivery order have been melted. I thought choosing a 9am delivery would prevent this, but it did not!

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

When major newspapers begin pre-emptively to self-censor you can no longer trust their content.

My parents saw this when the Sovs occupied Estonia. Friends from a number of once liberal democracies have seen it.

We always see it in the dimming crepuscular light before a country goes dark.
