@FlySWISS I've been on hold with your service line for over 3 hours to rebook my flight, which takes off today! At the 2.5 hour mark your phone line went dead, losing my place in the queue! What's with the ridiculous wait time??

Opposing the Iraq War did not make a person "pro-Saddam."

Opposing the war in Libya did not make someone "pro-Gadaffi."

Opposing CIA regime change in Syria does not make someone "pro-Assad."

Opposing the Israeli bombardment of Gaza does not make one "pro-Hamas."

Apple is a true business innovator: For more than a decade, they have been steadily perfecting an obscure anticompetitive tactic, turning a petty grift invented by console games companies into a global, cross-industry mechanism for extracting rents and centralizing control.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a founding member of the EU, but it's also a rogue state, enabling massive corruption throughout the trading bloc; while Cyprus and Malta will sell any corrupt robber-baron EU citizenship, it's Luxembourg that leads in laundering their money.

@hyrmn Oh that nacho vid is hurl inducing. Especially when she lays her hands into it and crunches the chips up. Who wants crunched up nacho sludge??

Temporarily breaking out of my Twitter-minimization for a short thread on issues around free speech and the mass deplatformings of the last week.

Obviously the riots were terrible, people still supporting DT are crazy, so moving on to some things that have not yet been said...

@MarcusMcBride Yeah, masks are bs. Also 5G gives you corona and the vaccine is a microchip for the NWO. Hillary Clinton and Mark Rutte are reptilian shape shifters. It's all George RR Martin's fault for letting them fuck up GoT!
