@elonmusk If your biggest concern is preventing single-party control, you should be thrilled to get a Democratic Congress now, and then deal with 2028 when 2028 comes around.

But hey, if I had just wasted half a billion dollars, I'd be irrational too.

@wolle42398 @CathyYoung63 @AGHamilton29 Not to defend his ideas, but... have you been to London? It's doing quite well these days.

@Loksmiff @CrustyRusty94 @brithume Surely you know that President Trump has already said the information was not classified. If anyone is "playing dumb" (or actually dumb) here, it's not Jeffrey Goldberg.

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@Loksmiff @TickDracey @CrustyRusty94 @brithume Please tell us one thing Jeffrey Goldberg has lied about.

As for "who knows what happened", the whole world does, since the conversation happened on Signal and several people involved, including from the administration, have confirmed its authenticity.

@UDOTcottonwoods @UDOTavy Wow. I would have said some bad words.

Given that the window started open, I'm guessing that this was shot by a civilian while the road was open, rather than a UDOT crew doing avalanche work while the road was closed. Does anyone know for sure?

@TSA_Northeast @TSA It appears that TSA has changed its mind and is again banning poles, saying this tweet was "an accident".

@TSA_Northeast @TSA Please clarify. All hiking poles have somewhat sharp metal tips -- not sharp enough to cut skin, but sharp enough to stick into dirt. Sometimes people slip a rubber tip over them (as in the photo above). Are such poles now allowed as carry-on?

@Sumbodysbrat1 @SeattlePD @BobFergusonAG You know the Attorney General has nothing whatsoever to do with crimes like this, right?

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@jason_ehr @SeattlePD @BobFergusonAG You know this is not what the Attorney General does, right?

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@Alleby_B @PhysInHistory At first I too was confused by that. But it is true that 28=1+2+3+4+5+6+7 as shown. That's not why it's a perfect number, but the post never says that.

This was resolved - Air Canada customer service was hopeless but my bank provided a full refund.

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

I understand that snow canceled my @AirCanada flight but when I asked for a refund, they replied (twice!) thay they're not responsible for the "delay" because it was weather-related.

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@TMobile @TMobileHelp This was resolved - a Sprint executive provided a credit so I could pay off the phones and switch to T-Mobile. Thank you Sprint!

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

When is free not free? Upgraded phone w/@TMobile promotion, paid up-front w/all remaining charges offset by trade-in credit. Now they won't unlock phone for intl use till I fulfill 22 months of $0 payments. Would cost $700 to end contract & lose credit. @TMobileHelp

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

Beware of scam by @Avis Rome -- they charged me 441 euros for 2 scratches that are NOT in my photos at airport car return; their photos were taken 12 hours later in a different place. They're ignoring my emails.

@Acyn I found myself unable to answer MTG's question, so I asked ChatGPT.

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@TMobileHelp The chat was just a waste of time. You were friendly but could not make an exception to a policy that makes no sense (you could give no reason for it because there is none) and will drive me to another carrier.

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@TMobile @TMobileHelp In 94 minutes of messaging, 2 Sprint/T-Mobile agents just kept repeating the policy & said they could not make an exception, even though it would cost them nothing. They claimed a "commitment to an unmatched service experience" but provided no useful service whatsoever. #tmobile

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

Merger madness: @TMobile lured me into phone upgrade from Sprint, but new phone has Sprint contract so Sprint rep told me they can't migrate me to T-Mobile billing plan for 22 months and tried to push inferior, more expensive Sprint plan. @TMobileHelp

[Bruce Burger @btburger]

@Lis_A_Martinez @Bob_Wachter My understanding is that "endemic" doesn't necessarily mean "less contagious" or even less deadly. It just means we're more used to it. That's happening now and will probably continue to happen unless there's a major surge due to new variants.
