It’s been a few weeks since I shared our partnership with Tint, and things are off to a great start. I have some other "Key" Standard Fleet updates to share. But first, here's a picture of me in a frunk.

This is my last tweet until I can use @tweetbot again. If that doesn’t happen then I’ll be using @tapbots Ivory for Mastadon instead. Your move, @Twitter. https://t.co/Z3rGH5gUfS

@AmazonHelp Have one that isn’t in Spanish?

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@AmazonHelp how do I call support for orders. Your help site sends me in a loop to talk to someone and never provides me a way despite going to that specific page it is supposed to provide.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@AmazonHelp Yeah I’ve done that. I need to speak to someone

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@AmazonHelp 1/2 my order was not received or even shipped but the app/site says it was received.

@steipete Everything or at least almost everything I want already exists here. I can go to the store and buy it. The problem is that I have to do the research to discover what I want and need and I’d generally then need to install it. I want a company that does all that for me.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

Can someone please build a business for setting up smart homes that use consumer tech (HomeKit, Matter, etc…) instead of Control4, Creston and all that crap… and it is crap by comparison.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@33_Wonderland Get rid of the word, leave the mouse and it’s even better.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@steipete There may or may not be a market for a business to do the same stuff but without any lock in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@steipete I think it has more to do with their business model. They charge out the wazoo for their proprietary system which you have to have a license as a company to use. I can’t touch it. Locked in.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@WhatTheCJ 🤔

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@WhatTheCJ Lol but I’m so lazy! That’s why I want this business to exist.

@pardonmyxfrench @offbeatorbit I did this once with Burbank and LAX. It was because I didn’t book it and the person who did book it told me the wrong airport and I hadn’t bothered to confirm that. Thankfully I get to the airport so early I managed to get a 45 minute Uber to LAX and still made my flight.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@Starport97 @33_Wonderland It got the earth part right.

@socaljb869 @andrewperloff @WeAreFarmers @mmschocolate @GeneralGCuster The difference is that they’re playing themselves not a character. People with name recognition don’t tend to play characters in commercials unless the character is one they are famous for in film or TV. This Paul playing Scrooge and Einstein is demeaning imo.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@jeffseibert I had similar issues for Tinder. We designed features to avoid that very same thing.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@rhafezi12 @rreinard That’s not a neutral site

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@idonthaveaband just FYI. Mickey’s eyes in Steamboat Willie aren’t black with no pupils. The black ovals are his pupils. The are that we now associate with his face and forehead were actually his eyes. Here’s a couple early Mickey pics that make it more clear.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

@NSResponder Also, it wasn’t about consent it was about representation. There is a difference.

[Jonathan Badeen @badeen]

Didn’t we fight a revolutionary war so we wouldn’t have to hear about British royalty all the time? We already have pointlessly famous people called the Kardashians that I have to endure hearing about. None of this is news.
