Oooof. "I have escalated the issue, I request you to please wait for 24 hours to receive a response from our team." I wonder if @madebygoogle thinks this is good customer service?

[Carla @eostreegg]

Oy. Day 6 of dealing with @Google Support for my poor Pixel 5A, with no end in sight. 😭 All for a repair that they say is covered under warranty! 12+ hrs for a response to every message, a web form that isn't working... This is not confidence-inspiring.

[Carla @eostreegg]

two in-person visits to an authorized repair store, 45min of live chat, and over a dozen emails back and forth over the last week.

The Cleveland City Club is not known for its liberal agenda or membership, but give a listen to the response that Frank LaRose gets as he tries to boost voting for Issue 1.

Your Statehouse right now. 🇺🇸

An old one, but it hit just right today

[The author, Séamas O'Reilly @shockproofbeats]

Time passes on my own. Empires crumble and glaciers dissolve, stars die and oceans melt, out on the dusty planes of mother earth, hot bursts of young love gift the miracle of life; children are born, raised, stricken infirm and die of old age.

And then Mary McAleese walks in.

As an Ohioan: this tracks. Midwest is best, baby!

The word sexual appears 274 times in the budget, in case anyone was wondering how I'm spending my Monday night. (Crtl+F is my BFF)

MAY is AAPI month! I realize that folks are getting lists, posts and panels ready to celebrate, so we* put together some graphics of newer books*** created by Pacific Islanders to help anyone searching for these types of stories. (🧵

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Welcome to the Midwest where you’ll have 4 seasons in 4 hours

[Carla @eostreegg]

@ayyeescarface Yes. But if they stripped away the fiction, would you read the 25 page treatise left behind? The dinner scene in Troubled Blood was excruciating to read.

[Carla @eostreegg]

JKR is the TERF version of Ayn Rand, using the thin mask of fiction to disguise a political essay that nobody wants to read.

@scalzi This is what happens when you take the Oregon Trail game out of schools. No proper respect for dysentery anymore.

[Cleveland Scene @ClevelandScene]

Ohio State Teacher's Retirement System had massive investment in Silicon Valley Bank, and massive loss https://t.co/fMrWpKqGfu

@KarenMHJ @AmiSchwabenland @midwestern_ope Yes, when you burn down most of the city in the middle of your huge expansion, you get the opportunity to rebuild things in a beautifully orderly way. Not something that I'd *advocate* for, but delicious lemonade from those lemons

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

WHO DID THIS??

[Matt Bors @MattBors]

Imagine getting hit by a car and the driver is BLASTING a self-help book

[Carla @eostreegg]

@heavydishongry It's better than calling it a "soaker." If we're going to be folksy, let's lean into it!
