@EricFielding It’s been three years since I last unboxed an Apple product and I’m *still* impressed by the attention to detail and care they take with the process/experience.

@EricFielding Just the lighting. Box is still the pure white its always been. :)

MY NEW PRECIOUS IS FINALLY HERE! 🥰

@ultranurd CANADA EXPECTS AN APOLOGY…

🤣

I’m sorry but…WTAF!?

This is example #2,874,399 of how Americans get SCREWED by so-called “insurance providers” and simultaneously example #2,874,399 of how those of us in the rest of the world wonder WTF Americans will realize this and DO SOMETHING about the shitty state of “health care” in their country. 🤦🏼♂️

@ATLeagle Plugged in to the wall. It would use up batteries way too fastt I’d imagine…

Gunther seems to like his new kitty cat water fountain! ❤️

Anything cable companies and Trump’s FCC chair agree on, I’m against…🤬 https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/113511065139551408

“And we refuse to learn from our barbarism in the past."

It can be argued that, after this last election, America *has* “learned” from its past barbarism.

And what a majority of Americans have learned is they *like* that past barbarism. They are OK with it. The next four years will prove it’s *not* in the past. American barbarism is most certainly right here in the present. https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/113450229020609106

For those of us who hate Apple News links, here’s a better one:

@WarnerCrocker Even as a Yankees fan who lived through that AWFUL series, I agree. :)

Ironic that, after watching the Yankees shit the bed in Game 4 of the World Series, I watched The Comeback last night…

“Trump Historians: He’s a fascist.

Political scientists: He’s a fascist.

His own aides: He’s a fascist.

The NYT: He shows a wistful longing for a bygone era of global politics.”

Sure - let me just cut the benefits I DESERVE AND WORKED FOR to help the OWNER (who is NOT me) save money.

GFY, Karen.

Not a chance.

If 20 dead children at Sandy Hook didn’t wake people up to gun control, this sure as hell won’t. https://mastodon.social/@samiamsam/112790662820490949

WaPo: “Many voters express resignation, dismay, anger over being asked to choose between Biden and Trump again”

TOO FUCKING BAD.

If you can’t see what an existential threat a Trump presidency would do to America and THE REST OF THE WORLD, I pity you. But I promise, your world will be a LOT different if you don’t vote for Biden and not different in any good, measurable way.

Get over yourself and see beyond your own narrow interests. Voting isn’t marriage. You’re not going to find The One.

@splitbrain @geos Same here. I get why some people don’t like them but I find them fascinating and almost beautiful in their simple elegance.

@masek LOL Yeah…I’m familiar with that…I’ve known Ian for *decades*. 😀

This has to be the *stupidest* headline I’ve read all month…

WaPo: “Is Donald Trump okay?”

No, you numpties. He hasn’t been “OK” since the mid-80s. JFC stop being so naive.
