@pandora are you ever going to fix the constant crashes of https://t.co/MWK3DYMYRj? This has been going on for nine months at least with no clear fixes. I'm on macOS and using Chrome. I have to refresh the browser at least ten times a day to keep the music playing. See attached.

There is no neutral way to say this: Donald Trump is siding with the enemy of Europe and the United States.

The Soviet Union was built to destroy the Western world. It was an authoritarian system rooted in control, repression, and the elimination of individual freedom. It aimed its nuclear arsenal at America and trained generations to believe that democracy was weak, corrupt, and destined to fall. That system collapsed, but its mindset did not. It survived in Moscow, reshaped itself, and waited.

Today’s Russia is not communist in name, but it is Soviet in instinct. Power over law. Loyalty over truth. Strength over freedom. And above all, hostility toward the Western democratic order.

This is the enemy the West was built to resist.

And yet Donald Trump openly aligns himself with it.

He attacks NATO while praising authoritarian leaders. He questions democratic elections while echoing Kremlin narratives. He undermines Ukraine while flattering the regime that invaded it.

Trump does not support Russia because he loves Russia. He supports it because he shares its contempt for democracy. He admires systems where power is personal, institutions are weak, and loyalty matters more than law. In that world, Putin is not a threat. He is a model.

That is what makes this moment so dangerous. Not Russian strength, but Western self-sabotage. Not tanks or missiles, but the normalization of authoritarian thinking inside democratic societies.

Europe cannot afford to misunderstand this. This is not about left or right, or policy disagreements, or personality clashes. This is about allegiance.

And Trump has chosen his side.

@Apple you have an excellent system with Apple Feedback. I have reported hundreds of bugs in iOS and macOS developers betas.

But, you are not following through well enough from Apple Feedback to get these bugs prioritized and fixed by your product management and development.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@mtgreenee I’m a hard core Democrat. But I want to say I have admired your recent principled stances on many issues. The country needs people like you. I hope you will return after you regroup from your resignation from Congress. Protect yourself with armed guards.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@Uber why is it $57.00 for a fifteen minute scheduled ride to Reno airport when Lyft can do the same service for $26.00? That means you’re gouging for airport trips.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@Labcorp I was trying to schedule a routine Labcorp appointment and your website will not let me select a date for the appointment. I tried at several locations in Reno and tested on Firefox and Chrome and your website is broken.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@Apple would you please fix your Apple Mail search feature on iOS? It is substandard and unreliable. I have tried to produce thorough reports on Apple Feedback app but the Apple Mail group never really fixes anything. It’s not going well over there. Please do something.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

Apple Mail on iOS has some really annoying bugs. For some reason year after year @apple never fixes them. I don't know what is wrong with Apple’s development organization for Apple Mail.

I've reported a long time on Feedback Assistant and Apple Mail team never fixes anything.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@HubSpot you have the absolute worst and most complex login system I have ever seen. I have used many, many apps and systems. Every time I login it is outrageously complex - and 80% of the time the login fails for me. You have a serious problem on your hands.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@OpenTable I'm a dedicated customer but it is extremely annoying that I can't make a reservation for a restaurant more than two months in advance. Fix it please!

Also you should have a feedback form on your website so your customers can give you their suggestions.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@RevWind Rooting for you to finish your Revolution Wind project. Sue the US Government for their attack on a properly permitted and nearly complete project. They need to reimburse you at least. This is an attack on the rule of law in America.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@GavinNewsom I think the top issues facing California are the trash on the roadsides and the road repairs. Shouldn't we have a statewide initiative led by you working with all of the cities and counties?, it will do great things to restore California's reputation.

@PandoraSupport Pandora on Chrome is constantly experiencing songs will not play, and you have to restart the sessions multiple times per day. I don’t know if this a Pandora problem, a Chrome problem, or a macOS 26 Developer Beta 6 & 7 problem. I have no Chrome extensions.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@PandoraSupport your support site is terrible. Please just add a "Report a problem" form and let people tell you what is wrong. Don't trap people in your support webpages hell. Just accept the input from your customers without condition and you'll quickly improve your service.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@SAS I tried two days in a row to buy tickets from Prague to Stockholm and failed both days. I tried two US issued credit cards. Your AI chatbot refuses to give me a customer support number so I can book over the phone. It's ridiculous.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@SAS I just want to let you know that your website purchasing process is not working today. So I could not book my flights. Also your update profile did not work either today. Today is August 10, 2025.

@elonmusk @elonmusk please make a #balancedbudgetamendment a central pillar of the new party.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@elonmusk @grok @elonmusk it is a contradiction in terms that you can support solar power and battery storage and electric cars and at the same time support far right and Republican causes.

[Brendan Madden @bmaddenceo]

@elonmusk Proud of you @elonmusk. Thanks for fighting.
