[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

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

I rarely use this platform now, mostly using it to communicate with vendors. I did want to call out how great @TMobileHelp is! Every time I've contacted them for assistance they have been amazing.

@MIT_ISTnews @MIT #IPv6 adoption at MIT is still non-existent in 2024 (and has actually declined down to 0.1%). This continues to be highly disappointing for a university that was an early leader in the Internet. It's now 7 years since MIT sold off IPv4 space to AWS with a plan to shift to IPv6.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@MIT_ISTnews, any updated timeline on when @MIT will be deploying IPv6 to campus networks? I still haven't seen measurable growth in the past year, whereas the rest of the U.S. is around 50% end-user IPv6 adoption.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@MIT_ISTnews @MIT IPv6 adoption at MIT is still below 1%. This is 10 years since World IPv6 Launch and 5 years after MIT sold off large parts of 18/8 while stating that it would use proceeds to fund the transition to IPv6. Even Harvard has more IPv6.

@SparkPost Are you having mail delivery issues in the US region again? I'm trying to login to LL Bean and the MFA token sent to my email address doesn't get there and I don't see anything in my mail server logs.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@astoundconnects Any progress on supporting IPv6 in your RCN Broadband areas (eg, the Boston metro)? I keep recommending people use Comcast Xfinity instead due to this gap.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@astoundconnects : Do you have plans to offer IPv6 for cable home broadband soon in the Boston area? That's what is keeping me from switching back to you from Xfinity.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@MichaelYartys @IPv6_mannen Yeah, these graphs show that something weird is happening with the Google data: https://t.co/23Cm536KUM
https://t.co/fz80RELrfS

FB also has data more in-line with the non-Google sources: https://t.co/q4YaN7Pglk

@hulu_support @hulu @TMobileHelp Is the site https://t.co/sBwN1nkdFC broken? None of the buttons on the page work and entering the promo code doesn't work to sign-up for @TMobile's "hulu on us" (as nothing happens when I enter the code and press the button).

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@haykeye13 Glad it was helpful! My primary ISP is Comcast Xfinity.

Not being able to get support for my @Carrier Infinity HVAC system is not making me happy nor likely to recommend in the future. It's been not working properly ever since it was installed two years ago.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@carrier Do you have any authorized dealers in the Boston area who will perform warranty service on Carrier Infinity systems they didn't install? The listed authorized dealers that I've called won't service under warranty, and my distributor is unresponsive.

@noIPv6 @lafibreinfo @Akamai @akamai_research This should be fixed now. Thanks for your patience. https://t.co/TKHFtwM4lN

@lafibreinfo @Arcep @Akamai This should be fixed now. Thanks for your patience. https://t.co/TKHFtwM4lN

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@lafibreinfo @Arcep @Akamai Will hopefully be fixed soon.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@noIPv6 @lafibreinfo @Akamai @akamai_research Should hopefully be fixed in a week or two. Thanks for calling it out!

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@k0xak @jlivingood There always is #IPv6 connectivity at IETF meetings and has been for many years now. There are even multiple NAT64 and IPv6-only SSIDs. (I'm curious to see how the traffic levels end up breaking down.)

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

I am also now https://t.co/nJgnFJXPcT on BlueSky although I'm not posting much there yet --- I see much better engagement on Mastodon for most topics. I've deleted the Ex-Twitter app off my phone and don't plan to post here much at all.

@hanscath Yeah, it's a redirection account alias to [email protected]. Details on how to set it up here: https://t.co/FJjsx42nRE

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

@joeklein This can just happen when IPv4 and IPv6 traffic are in two separate ASNs and has nothing to do with their IPv6 capabilities.

[Erik also @[email protected] / @[email protected] @akanygren]

I really hope the latest #covid wastewater datapoint for @MWRA_update's North region from @BiobotAnalytics is a data anomaly! I've never seen an outlier this big in their data before...
