@Spotify My wife signed us up for a Family Premium account and added me, but I get a TON of ads when trying listen to music. Logged out and back in, restarted, etc.--still so MANY ads with music. Can you help?

Timely reminder that Clarence Thomas heard election cases while his wife conspired to overthrow democracy. Clarence Thomas is corrupt as hell and should resign from the Supreme Court.

Awful lotta words here, but I think the #NYT is saying that Russia loses wars differently than we do. https://t.co/QRKRLblICl

If you're wondering where we went, yesterday Texas was canceled until Monday (at the absolute soonest) due to unexpected cold weather.
Pretty much like February last year though there have been fewer deaths, so far.

@PUCTX @TDEM I mean, don't get me wrong. Of all the funnies, funny-sad is unreservedly my absolute favorite. But most public-ish agencies simply can't and (arguably) shouldn't do it very well.

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

@PUCTX @TDEM LOL This would be even funnier than every time @austin_police and @austinfiredept announce they're really, seriously not kidding for real about illegal fireworks this time,
if it weren't for the hundreds of deaths.

@TurnerNovak Or could mint that same $89k/person NFT but just pay down $7.5 trillion of the debt, negotiate better rate on the rest.
Borrow $20 trillion more. Guarantee food, housing and education for all humans for 5 years or so.
Then sell the hodled NFT, pay the debt, pocket the profit.

@austinfiredept If fireworks are illegal in Austin, why are they visible in every direction from my backyard exploding in the sky over my neighbors homes?
Shouldn't they be getting a ticket or something?

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

Why hasn't Austin enforced its ban on illegal fireworks at all whatsoever in any shape or form for so many years? @austin_police

@AutulloAAS 78753 Water slowed to a stop yesterday morning. And yes, we were dripping the damn faucets.

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

@AustinWater Even if it's not perfectly accurate, a rough timeline for restoring our water service would be very helpful. Ideally, you would post revised versions as the situation evolves.

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

@DonnaHowardTX @Stanzarelli @AustinWater That is certainly an option for homeowners, but there are others. If @AustinWater were so inclined, they could outline some of them to help their customers make more informed Sophie's choices.

@Austin_Police @austinfiredept
FTW Another great #NYE in the #ATXfireworks autonomy zone. How many illegal fireworks citations this year? Another shutout? Don't have to count the one from the apartment fire last New Year's if that was the onliest ticket.

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

@austinfiredept @Austin_Police @ATX_311 Your friends at the @austin_police told you they will be enforcing the illegal fireworks ban? Last time I asked about it they literally said it was just too hard and besides they're too busy anyway. Pretty sure they've only issued one illegal fireworks citation in 3 years.

[Weston Norton @bigmanweston]

Not hard to see the appeal of drinking with your kids and detonating illegal fireworks over your neighbors' homes on the 4th, NewYear's, etc.-- even if you don't hate dogs, babies, vets with PTSD, etc.--but what did #santasreindeer do to #ATX to deserve all these mortar shells?
