Checking out Idris Elba’s show “Hijack” and my suspension of disbelief is immediately thrown off when there is an empty seat on his plane for him to fall into

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

Spotify’s AI DJ completely butchers Ben Gibbard’s name while flawlessly calling out Stavesacre’s, and that feels like a rare AI victory.

@MegVinther @kexp That’s actually how I connected the dots for him. “You know Beyoncé right?” “Yeah” “Ok…”

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

I work with a 19-year-old whose vehicle is broke down, so he’s catching rides where he can. Today he was with me. Listening to my radio (@kexp) I said “this sounds like Jay Z”, he said “what’s a Jay Z?”, and I’m writing this from the afterlife because I drove off a cliff.

@ashleymwilcox I’m so sorry Ashley. Sending good thoughts your way.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

Might’ve had my last @ChipotleTweets order tonight. Roasted veggies? Told they were saved for online orders, even though I was in line and veggies were in the bin. Want chips? Bags are filled about 25% of the amount they used to be. Better takeout for less $ is easily had.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@MegVinther Beautiful. My only regret is that I won’t be there to see it.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

Put it on my tombstone.

@TylerHuckabee It’s stuff like this that’s chasing folks out of The Church in droves. I’m still trying to figure out God but christians can fuck right off.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@MegVinther No notes

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@KennyLNussbaum @TylerHuckabee Thanks I hate it

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

I literally find myself incapable of action.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

You ever try to lift a 5lb bag of jasmine rice into the cupboard, absolutely sure that it was sealed shut after *just* opening it to get some out for dinner, only to have it spill 2.5lbs of its contents all over your kitchen? Yeah me neither.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

Not a lot of perfect albums out there, but c’mon. This one always hits.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@ralph_helm It also literally just happened

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

Service industry friends: asking as an overly eager tipper (and also having worked in the service industry myself), how do I handle ordering takeout, tipping up front for said order, and then getting my food 20 minutes after it was supposed to be ready?

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@ralph_helm Not yet. Exercising my right to scream into the void that is the internet first 😂

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@ralph_helm Unfortunately wasn’t a delivery issue. Ordered through the restaurant’s website for pickup.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@ralph_helm I’m validated by someone whose opinion comes backed by cinematic credentials!

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

“Armageddon” is a theatrical masterpiece and I won’t hear any arguments to the contrary.

[Matt Maddox @matt_maddox]

@SamSundquist I own the Criterion Collection version of this movie, just saying.
