So much this.

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwesterners get offended when someone passes on the highway and they’re already going 5-10 mph over the speed limit. “sorry my speeding wasn’t good enough and I hope you get pulled over”

@LakotaMan1 Both.

@ElieNYC Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

I've seen reports of a few other thefts at Amazon lockers and they were done in the same way that this one was.

[Brian Schefke @bschefke]

I posted this earlier, but I'll post it again. @Amazon needs to take another look at their lockers, especially those placed outside, because they're vulnerable to being broken into:

@hooverdetroit Like, no question at all.

[Brian Schefke @bschefke]

@Johngcole None. None at all.

[Brian Schefke @bschefke]

Well, that's the last time I will use @amazon Locker:

@SimonBalto We've had days like that many times in the past few years here in the Northwest, and we are probably going to have another very bad year in 2023.

For a second, I thought this tweet said that the vehicle was blocking the Mercer St. exit, and I thought, "Oh, dear...."

[WSDOT Traffic @wsdot_traffic]

On the I-5 southbound express lanes just north of Mercer St there is a disabled vehicle blocking the right lane.

@claudiakincaid Unfortunately, it's been a problem for a while: https://t.co/PJIBRMCCg6

@FollowingForFu2 @josephazam The use of hidden cameras has been an issue at Airbnb properties for several years. I won't stay at one, and when friends tell me they are staying at one, I advise them to check for cameras: https://t.co/PJIBRMCCg6

[Brian Schefke @bschefke]

@TheOdalisque It is horrible, and I noticed the use of undisclosed cameras, which has been a problem for Airbnb properties for several years. It's why I won't stay at one: https://t.co/PJIBRMCCg6

@BretDevereaux I will confess to having some skepticism of NATO expansion at the time, not because I thought that it was aggressive, but because it looked like an easy political victory lap with the underlying notion that "we'll never have to *actually* defend Estonia".
