I never updated this app, so it still says Twitter, and there’s still a tweet button.

For a year I’ve gotten past its attempts to force me to update, simply by force-closing the app and re-opening it.

I love its wonderful tools to protect you from a-holes, scammers, bots, cultists, n*zis & Elons by letting you subscribe to the block lists of others who’ve done the vetting for you!

It’s a breath of fresh air.

I’ve re-quoted some block list resources on my account over there.

All joking aside, I hope my newfound followers will consider donating to @RAINN, who do extremely valuable work supporting survivors.

What I hate most about Spooky Season is constant references to Spooky Season by every company & brand.

Like, I don’t care about Spooky Season when I’m at my credit union. My ins. agent doesn’t need to send an “It’s Spooky Season” email. It’s not Spooky Season at the urologist.

I sign up for very few of these types of things, but I’m a sucker for The Police. Anyway, ignore.

Happy Oct 8, @GailSimone!

@askparamount Broadcast TV has never had such a high ratio of ads to programming. 120s of ads after 90s of show?

While I appreciate your encouragement to pay more for minor improvement I think it’s easier to just cancel & move on, unless you want to comp me a month to think about my options.

[James J @ModernTuba]

Tried to watch an hr long standup by @NateBargatze. Was it really necessary for @ParamountPlus to throw in 17 ad breaks adding up to over 30 mins? Some ad breaks were longer than the show between them! This is NOT how you do ad-based streaming. P+ I think you owe ME money.
