'We need more Boliver keychains!'
'We are out of Boliver keychains in the gift shop! Repeat, we are out out of Boliver keychains!'
'Mommy, buy me a keychain!'
'No! Now come along, Boliver!'
'Are you talking to me?'
'No, my son is also named Boliver.'

I tried to make a funny twitter thread, but twitter ate the first post, so /nothing/ in the thread makes any sense anymore, so I just deleted all the following tweets.

It's too bad.

Gen-X woulda loved it.

<amazon> David, you are eligible for Business-Only Pricing!
<me> I assure you, I am *not*. I buy socks from you once a year and that's about it. I haven't bought replacement pants from you, I'm still budgeting those.
<amazon> But we have a credit plan that--
<me> And there it is.

Pretty sure that the reason that now all blue checks are reported as 'legacy verification or twitter blue', is because there is nobody left at twitter who *knows how* to disable legacy verification at scale.
Somehow, this outcome is *even worse* than it was before.

I love Control.
'Down in Maintenance, Thresholds are used like any other tool. Labcoats mine Blackrock from one, and Maintenance siphons water from another. We use it for everything but drinking.'
'Why don't you drink it?'
'Well, there's these.. chunks.. in it. Pretty gross.'
