Pragmatist, swayed by science, logic & reason, not party affiliation. Disgusted by corruption & grifting.

2/2 2nd cart brought, but by this time we’re an hour late, so connection missed in DCA.

INOP equipment + inattentive personnel make me wonder if anyone is paying attention, or cares.

So for now I’ll be switching to @united & @Delta

1/2 Unforced errors yesterday by @AmericanAir = missed flight. AA2349 A319 BOS-DCA arrived late BOS. INOP APU means ground power req’d to start, but ground crew disconnected, couldn’t reconnect. Start cart brought in, also INOP.

@Dell has terrible tech support. New sound bar wouldn’t play and I couldn’t get through to tech support without the correct code on the bar. (There are like a million codes on it!) Disconnected 3x. You Tube videos confirm I’m doing it right. Not worth the hassle - returning it.

Northbound I 44 is backed up from at least 39th Expressway all the way south to 10th Street. @TotalTrafficOKC

@ChickFil You once had the best drive-throughs, but now it’s the worst. If I have to wait 10 minutes for your food, I’m going elsewhere! I’m not installing your app.

This includes the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman. Tomorrow. Just as severe weather season kicks into high gear. @tcblume @wsuares

@pmonies Where are you going?

@Okla_OAG Wind turbines are regulated by local county commissioners, and placed under agreement with the property owner who is paid rental fees. They generate electricity with no carbon pollution. All sounds good to me. Why does it matter whether the owner is foreign or domestic?

@dylantbrown @jpalmerOKC @kfor This isn’t very hard:

“Then would you please direct me to that statute?”

[Tom @tomokc405]

@OKCNightCourt The guys I know who work at Tinker aren’t concerned.

@JillCastilla Jill, OSDE and school districts are NOT solely responsible for public education. Parents play a huge role in the academic performance of their children, and success of the school.

@tcblume Great GIF, and spot-on!

@OklahomaMatters You’ve been blocked by a Musk-controlled entity on Twitter that espouses transparency - how predictable.

[Tom @tomokc405]

@dieworkwear I’d love to read you on Threads (or anywhere else but here, frankly), but you haven’t posted anything there since Thanksgiving. Can I follow you elsewhere, and if so, where?

[Tom @tomokc405]

I protest.

Now - explain how this isn’t an echo chamber.

@BiotechGirlOKC Saturday’s ride about did me in, especially the hills on Hogback and Triple X roads!

@OKCPD What should a citizen do when witnessing littering such as this?

[Tom @tomokc405]

@OKCPD Quite the litterbug! Is there anything a private citizen can do when witnessing something like this?

[Tom @tomokc405]

@codylusnia Streetcar tracks, cobblestones or both.

@nprscottsimon Please squeeze in a mention of the Peshtigo Fire which occurred the same night in Wisconsin, burning almost 2,000 square miles and killing over 2,000 people. https://t.co/Nge2TXk30j
