@RadioTx76853 @luxemiaa Nice try. Delta isn’t perfect, but it ain’t a codeshare partner with Lufthansa either. (And spare us the gratuitous jab at the airport hotel district.)

@leahfrombklyn @tamechi tell ‘em where you are!! Still doing our hometown proud!

15 days, 4 calls and an email later, @ghbass STILL hasn’t sent a return slip for an order THEY screwed up. RUN ME MY MONEY.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@GHBass sent me the wrong shoes. 12 days, an email and 4 calls later, STILL no return shipping label. So no refund. What kind of “review” do y’all need???

@ThrillaRilla369 Everybody did it when I was in school. Rich or poor. (But sometimes we got freebies at school with ads for local businesses printed on them.)

@PaulOwens1978 @bey_terri71442 @MichaelBoze11 @imowlawns4less @thelillygaddis Who was the first black cop in Wilson?

@Anons_Agent @taylor_vahey A sketch? That’s a photocopy (or mimeograph or other reproduction) of the original application and attached photograph.

@Michael41055445 @JohnLandry83248 @acnewsitics Sir, there are lots of databases that hold SSNs — databases of all numbers ever issued, current recipients, etc. The original post did not specify what “SS database” was being referred to to determine more people are getting benefits than there are living Americans.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@Michael41055445 @JohnLandry83248 @acnewsitics *ill-defined*

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@Michael41055445 @JohnLandry83248 @acnewsitics Clearly they’re wrong about the number of people drawing. Why assume this I’ll-defined database contains accounts “active in the system”?

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@jinboston02124 @JohnLandry83248 @acnewsitics But we don’t know what this database is, do we? All we have is a broad term, and false assertion about the number of people drawing. If the database is simply “all SSNs issued,” it would make sense that it’s larger than the current U.S. population.

@luciawilke @LisKis93 I’m from Wilson NC, which resisted full integration until the fall of 1970. I started first grade that year. I was also born in a segregated hospital.

Y’all heard that little bit of #Triggerman at the start of @JonBatiste ‘s national anthem?!?! #doitfortheculture #blackityblack #SuperBowl

@scottphorton @hadasshatrudy @NLRB_News The administration doesn’t control ALJs though. And there are plenty of cases sitting in the pipeline.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@scottphorton @hadasshatrudy @NLRB_News Who knows when that’ll be…. Without a quorum, Abruzzo-era caselaw remains. Hard to imagine that’s the plan.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@hadasshatrudy @NLRB_News No. He appointed an Acting General Counsel, which is different from a Board member.

@DIRECTV This is stupid. And I’m already on a DNClist. So since @DIRECTV is apparently helpless to stop the harassment it initiated on its own, I’ll just curse out every rep that dials my number.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

Hell hath no fury like @DIRECTV scorned. Stop fcking calling me.

[Black Wide-Awake @scuffalong]

@DIRECTV So it’s not enough that I repeatedly say stop?? I need the devil to intercede with itself?
