Update @BingWMC we are now indexed and listed. Not sure if it was this tweet, one of my requests, or our recent initial IMDB listing or the system fixed a bug, but the issue is solved.

[Jon Orlin @jonorlin]

Hey @BingWMC Can someone investigate why my website https://t.co/P5k1o9r8T1 is not indexed. Site fully crawlable, indexed in Google, Bing shows crawled but 0 indexed pages for weeks. IndexNow working. 2 Support tickets unanswered. Bingbot gets 200 responses. No robots issues

@WillRollinsCA The ballot counting information is located here: https://t.co/18i8IruVKf It says the next update will be posted at 6pm 11/6. Also, 320,000 vote-by-mail ballots remain to be counted, BUT that number is for the county, not Will's district.

@neal_katyal At first you might think it is surprising Fox News published this. But checking on the Fox News home page, it is not there. So even Fox website readers won’t see it. Later, they can point to this article and say we covered the story.

@johnbiggs Well said @johnbiggs. Many great points and much wisdom in your post.

How in the world did Merrick Garland decide Robert Hur was the best, unbiased person with integrity to be appointed special counsel? After listening to Hur for 2 minutes, it’s obvious he was a not the right person for the job. #merrickgarland #roberthur #specialcounsel

The Supreme Court showed us
today they are Politicians first. Jurists second. Expand the court. #SupremeCourt

@mjburnsy Totally their major loss. I always enjoyed working with you @mjburnsy There is lots of life after TechCrunch.

Congrats Jeremy! She is right, of course.

Highly recommend beautiful music by American composer Jeremy Beck.

@tillermoney I think it’s more like Intuit asking pizza lovers to start eating flour.

[Jon Orlin @jonorlin]

For all those Minters looking for a @Mint replacement, check out spreadsheet based @tillermoney I made the change years ago and very glad I did. #mint #tiller #mintshutdown

[Bloomberg @business]

Intuit is winding down personal-finance app Mint, and pushing users to shift to Credit Karma, a similar service that the company acquired in 2020 https://t.co/CJxNrXhzsq

@TimShnaider That's a good idea @TimShnaider. For me, I've switched to @raindrop_io for bookmarks and @readwisereader for read it later.

Biden to Rancho Mirage? @washingtonpost: Obama & Biden discussed POTUS's intent to vacation at Sunnylands (Annenberg's former home near Palm Springs) but scrapped plans because concerns about extreme heat. The heat is not so bad here. There's AC and pools. https://t.co/409aD1lqDZ

Flying Car made by @AlefAeronautics gets FAA approval. On the company's website, they post 4 jobs, 3 of which are for Engineering interns. Is that who you want building your $300K flying car? #flyingcar

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Alef Aeronautics revealed its flying car “Model A" was granted legal permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to test run the vehicle on the road and in the sky − a move needed before it can be released to the public. https://t.co/icYyuvdkCY

Trump: “It was a perfect interview with @BretBaier”. Yes, perfect for the special prosecutor. #TrumpIndictment

[Jon Orlin @jonorlin]

Anyone know? Could the judge who oversees the #TrumpIndictment be Aileen Cannon? She is in the district court for the Southern District of Florida.

Apple Vision Pro: Seems like we just watched a glimpse of both an incredible, magical future as well as a dystopian one #WWDC23 #AppleVisionPro

[Jon Orlin @jonorlin]

You @robreiner may remember the All in the Family episode where Archie suggested arming everyone on planes with guns. And everyone at that time rightly laughed at how ridiculous that idea was. https://t.co/eo6nJdyA3g

Is @TuckerCarlson out at Fox News because
#1 his constant lies (unlikely, but if others follow, then maybe)
#2 the private truths he told about Trump ("I hate him passionately" ) or
#3 his criticism of Fox management.
I say #3 #TuckerCarlson
