Apple’s Quartiles game in News is showing some serious synergy with the Severance finale releasing today. Praise Kier! #severance

@AHLBruins Links to star wars themed merch are broken... known issue? Was interested in some of those jersey options, specifically chewbacca

@MountainDew are you seriously DOUBLING the price of a can of Amp Energy drink?! In what world is a 100% price increase justifiable?! I’ve been a daily drinker religiously for almost 20 years and if this is actually legitimately the new price going forward you’ve lost a customer.

@DisneyPlus why do downloaded videos randomly not play? I download videos on kids ipads for flights but several times i go to play a fully downloaded video and the “play” icon is missing and i can only see more details. Restarting the app or ipad sometimes helps but its random.

Where is the @NHLBruins coverage @espn ?!? Showing a different game, says banner ceremony is on ESPN2 but it is not… Espn+ app just shows event it starting soon… wtf is this?

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@hotelapache how are you guys not massive by now? One of the best overall sounds out there IMO. Love your stuff. So glad you are putting out new material! Keep it up!

@simonsinek @BreneBrown @AdamMGrant delightful podcast! I haven’t felt that “seen” in a while… from Adam’s discomfort with the spotlight to Simon’s threatened worldview (same!). How do i find “my people” like you to have these kinds of conversations/friendships with?!

This set the tone for the night (so far) for the #NHLBruins

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@Patriots @Ticketmaster So so frustrating... twice through the line, pick seats, am told to "Hang tight" endlessly until the page times out and I've lost my turn... wtf guys?

@ergatta Related... finally got my perfect score today and was psyched!! ... until I found out that my perfect score was still short of my imperfect score on Tuesday (and first place). Looks like I/we got an extra bar than I get now... is this expected?

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@ergatta Confused... after the echo update I did a nearly perfect workout for 32,955 on Tuesday. I did the same workout today, left 120 points on the table but only got a 32,775. If I did perfectly today I would've gotten a lower score than Tuesday's imperfect workout?

@TheMidnightLA When can we hear the first single?! Dying for it!

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@TheMidnightLA The fight scene that it was used for in Shang-Chi was equally incredible... it was a goosebumps moment in the theater when I saw it.

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@ergatta Bummer... I don't want to have to stop mid-workout just for that... But yes please relay to the team! What service are you using to generate playlists? Are you pulling from a Spotify API? Apple Music? Other? Maybe listening to the service directly will bring up the songs again.

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@ergatta Any way to get the playlists from my workouts? There are songs I like that I heard during my workout but I have no record of them... are the playlists pulling from a service? are they fixed somewhere? Thanks!

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@VerizonSupport which is it? My services are obviously down so i know the chat response is the correct one, but why does checking for an outage tell me there isn’t one? Frustrating i spent a bunch of time rebooting and troubleshooting because the first check says no outage

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

Yearly rant into the twitter void about how it's insane that I pay for cable but because I'm sitting in a living room in Wisconsin the NFL decides I can't log in to my account and watch the game I would be watching in Boston... for... #reasons? People take vacations you know...

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@peacock credentials work on my phone, but not on the web... I've filled in from my 1password, copied and pasted, typed it out key by key, nothing.

go to get support and I'm told in order to get support for not being able to log in, first I need to log in.

Help?

[Tom Boates Everybody @tomboates]

@TheMidnightLA what am i seeng here? The track didn’t link anywhere and i can’t find it when searching… new track released early be mistake and taken down? Or not you? I WAS SO EXCITED!

Post #2 is up! Check out my breakdown of why there is so much confusion around what design is and what you can do about it.
