In case Twitter breaks at any moment, which seems increasingly likely, you can also find me on Mastodon. 🦣

Never, ever sell a device to @gazelle. I tried to trade in a phone a they mis-identified it and tried to give me way less than promised. I’ve called three times but phone reps seem powerless and won’t connect me to a supervisor. An absolute travesty.

@DonOrsillo So sorry for your loss. Sending good thoughts to you and your family. 🫶

@Wegmans Noooooo, I’m so sad that the Natick MA store is closing! That was our go-to shopping spot because it’s so much better than all the other stores around here. Really hoping another Wegmans will reopen nearby soon!

@instagram Why don’t I see this option in the iOS app? I’m running the most recent version (281.0) https://t.co/87lYlAKkE4

@bluesky I’m trying to sign up using an invite code that I received, but I get an error that says invite code not accepted. I’m 100% sure I’m entering it correctly (via copy and paste). Any advice?

@DFWAirport Rental car shuttles aren’t even stopping at terminal E. What are people supposed to do? Send help!

@BaliBlinds Is there any way to connect Z-wave motorized blinds to Apple Siri or HomeKit? Will they be updated to support Matter in the future?

Here’s what I think of Twitter’s new policy.

It’s a longer clip, but it is worth it to honor #HelenSlaytonHughes who has passed away at the age of 92. #MarionCotesworthHaye #TheWestWing

We did it!! Now nobody move, give birth, or die.

Players can see the same thing as the fans: for the Sox, winning seems to matter less than the bottom line these days.

[Pete Abraham @PeteAbe]

Xander Bogaerts put on his new Padres uniform today. “My priority was to go to a team that was very competitive, a team that wanted to win."

The report from Petco Park:

West coast teams must have started a “collect the whole set” competition featuring people the Red Sox should have kept in Boston and didn’t. 😭

[Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo]

Xander Bogaerts says he's looking forward to spending the rest of his career in San Diego and mentions Don Orsillo as one of the first people he saw today when he got to the park.

This is the moment Mars peeked out from behind our moon after being hidden for an hour. This shot was captured using my largest telescope and a special high-speed camera. Seeing another planet rising on the horizon of our moon was such a surreal experience.

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

50 years ago, the Apollo 17 astronauts captured an iconic Earth view of the “Blue Marble” as they set sights on the Moon. Today with #Artemis, this time-lapse footage showcases the Earth-Moon transit as @NASA_Orion captured our home planet and the Moon on flight day 13.

[Alex Speier @alexspeier]

A long series of negotiating missteps and market misreads paved the way for the Red Sox to lose Xander Bogaerts to the Padres. https://t.co/iCX8RmncP2 via @BostonGlobe

[Will Flemming @WillFlemming]

Well, my son cried today when I told him Xander wasn’t going to be on the Red Sox anymore. I suspect he wasn’t the only one. I can only say that you’d be hard pressed to find a finer, kinder ballplayer. He made every single day at the yard much more fun, and we will all miss him.

[Matthew Kory @mattymatty2000]

There was a time quite recently when Bogaerts would've stayed in Boston for $200 million easy. But, yet again, Boston fumbled that chance away.
