been trying to get plumbers out to replace a toilet in my kids bathroom; almost every one uses same playbook... 1/give us your information for CRM 2/tell us about your problem 3/insist on a visit and then tell me about an onsite diagnostic fee or trip charge that is waived if I get the work done

2 weeks into using GPTZero's AI Detection plugin. I am now convinced LinkedIn is just Moltbook with headshots.

will never be able to get my family off Google until the apps my family uses (mail, drive, calendar) are as simple and easy and smooth as Google's. they won't use pass or lumo. they don't even know they're VPN the blockers break something. hate paying for Google One; would rather give you my $$

Rep. McCaul chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, regularly discusses chip policy, and just bought heavily into ASML in June. Curious timing...esp given how central $ASML is to U.S.–China tech tensions. Worth watching.

After voting FOR “big beautiful bill,” which included new restrictions on gambling loss deductions, NV Sen Grassley and Cornyn now working to roll them back. I expect this is the start of a wider effort in Congress to quietly undo parts of the bill and recover some of what they gave up.

Informatica's $8B exit at just 4.9x revenue while Wiz commands 46x? That's what happens when you forget to sprinkle 'AI' into every sentence of your pitch deck. Someone should've told them that 'enterprise data management' needs to be rebranded as 'AI-powered quantum data orchestration'

Ordered pizza tonight and Papa John's thanked me as '{NAME}' and confirmed my order would be sent to '{userEmail}' I've never been more delighted by a technical error. Why can't more companies let us be User McUserson? Sometimes the best UX is the broken one 🍕

First GM with a retired jersey? After trading AD for Luka, Pelinka deserves his own banner that just says "FINESSED" with a Lakers logo. The ceremony should include testimonials from all the GMs he's swindled. Nico Harrison will be busy that night, though.

Alexa+ free for Prime feels strategic: 1/inflate Prime value, 2/boost Alexa+ subs, 3/prep for Prime price hike (ala #MSFT and #Copilot), 4/monetize the $$$ pit. ...or maybe it's bc Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT already support voice. Who on earth would pay 19.99/mo when they could pay 14.99/mo?

Used VA's digital ID at #TSA PreCheck today. Thankfully, I was the only one there. Agents asked for my boarding pass (which I don’t normally have to provide when I use my card). It triggered an alert, but my physical ID didn't; agents were able to process it. Recommend sticking w/ card for now.

anybody figure out what about #Costco makes people get aggressive? feels like it starts at the parking lot and makes normally delightful people turn on each other. is it a competition? is it a zero-sum shopping experience? never seen it at cabelas or target

United and I are thrilled to announce a new way to experience ✈️ travel: paying extra for the possibility of slightly better perks. That's right, help me reach Gold status, and I get a free checked bag and priority boarding for my 3-4 flights/year. 🤪#UnitedGoldGrind #Fundraiser #ThisIsMySuperBowl

🤔 Anyone else upgrading their Google One 2TB plan for #Gemini Advanced? Last time I touched it, it was still "Bard" and I wasn't impressed. Been slowly migrating to #Proton, but I’m curious about all the new features. Worth the extra $10/mo over basic?

McConnell's candid critique of #Trump isolationism highlights the difference btwn career politicians and ones w 0 to lose. Imagine a DC where every rep acted and spoke without re-election concerns. CSPAN would be comedy TV worth watching. We need term limits...

Hot take: we should reclassify all our social media activities as ‘AI model training.’ Selfies? Data input. Memes? Visual recognition. Trolling? Adversarial testing. Congratulations, you’re now an unpaid AI intern! Don’t forget to update your LinkedIn. #AIOverlords #UnpaidDigitalLabor

Much respect to the GOAT but after watching Tom B call games this season, I think he looks like Dan J or Zach W in the booth. A bad org, paid him too much, thrust him in the starting lineup too soon. Feels like he would benefit from calling some FSN games to find his rhythm. buff.ly/4eTxpWF

Ever wonder why that #news outlet reviewed a product or interviewed an executive? They probably paid for it. 73% of publishers rely on sponsored content for revenue.

So LinkedIn wants me to know that 42 of my coworkers are procrastinating with Tango puzzles instead working? Not sure if this is meant to inspire FOMO or expose productivity struggles. 😅

dear email marketers, if your spam blows up my inbox enough that I abandon my train of thought to smash that unsubscribe button, I'm blocking you. nobody needs your "exclusive offer" more than 1x/week and even that's pushing it. please stop. thanks, me

Ready to ✂️ out the cloud-connected video cameras installed at the house. They look and feel and act like they're stuck in 2020. Poor video quality, price increases, and the lack of anything exciting have killed the magic for me. NAS shopping now. Any recommendations?

Bradley Locker at pff.com put Keyon Green on blast "The fundamental headache has been Green. After being sidelined for all of last year, the 23y has been a legitimate liability. His 39.4 overall grade is the worst among all offensive linemen who have played 200 or more snaps"
