Respectfully, ⁦@AldiUK⁩, wtf? https://t.co/wBOWafTXOk

Dear Santa, Here’s what I want for Christmas from @amazon: to be able to always see the items in my Saved for Later list that qualify for overnight delivery when I need to reach the $25 minimum threshold. Now you have to open each one separately, which I doubt few people ever do.

[Diane Porter @votreami]

It continues to go well, @CanonUSA Registered to get the secret help numbers, 20 mins with Russell determined that the printer would never work. He’d send me a new one.
Great, I said.
It’ll be there Tuesday, he said.
Still not here.
it’s been a werk with this now.

[Diane Porter @votreami]

I’d like someone to tell me why we can have global positioning satellite technology and artificial intelligence and rockets that go up and come back down vertically but we cannot make printers that are easy to install. I’m looking at you, @CanonUSA

[Diane Porter @votreami]

@CanonUSA And the upshot? It won’t install, period. @CanonUSA shipping a new one, which is good and yet also means more delay, sending this one back, etc. Kudos, however, to Russell in chat, who recognized the problem quickly.

[Diane Porter @votreami]

All news organizations - and I’m looking at you right now, Austin @statesman - should lift their paywalls as a public service during times of tragedy or natural disaster. People nationwide need good information on the #TexasFloods right now, and they can’t rely on you.

[Diane Porter @votreami]

@CanonUSA Aha! The secret phone number! I will, but this should still be effortless, not something requiring angst and 800 numbers!

You were warned

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

With less than three weeks to Election Day, will you help boost our support of our Fight Like Hell PAC U.S. Senate endorsees? Losing any one of these races would allow Republicans to retake the majority and pursue an extreme agenda, like a national abortion ban.

@SoVeryBritish What is the deal with warm Coke?

[Diane Porter @votreami]

@BabsVan OMG those signs!!!

[Diane Porter @votreami]

When you order from @Walmart for people w/o power after hurricane, then they adds 8 days to the delivery time, chat associate calls you by the wrong name, tells you maybe the order is lost, and offers a refund, NONE of which helps the recipient, who was supposed to get it today.

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND YOU'RE EXHAUSTING

@StephenKing Also, no one just stays, they hunker down. And the aftermath looks like a war zone.

[Caitlin Green @caitiegreen]

What the Gisele Pelicot case has done to help women and victims of sexual assault everywhere is astounding.

Kudos to her, as well as her daughter, for making this trial public and successfully shifting the shame.

[Diane Porter @votreami]

There is no fucking “execution of a baby after birth,” There are, however, women dying from lack of healthcare in emergency situations. Ask the families of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller if they are better off than they were four years ago. Ask if those women felt protected.

[Ryan Hamilton @TheRyanHamilton]

Is @realDonaldTrump serious?
Women will “no longer be thinking about abortion”?!
Tell that to my wife who barely survived the Trump abortion ban in Texas! She will carry the near death trauma with her for the REST OF HER LIFE! 🤬
