Why does @HomeDepot think it's entitled to take a MONTH to handle a refund on a fraudulently marketed fridge? Home Depot. How doers get their money tied up.

Lorenz is supposedly a journalist (and you'd think she was from her resume), but somehow she thinks it's a reporter's job to include her complete statement in a news story.
Let’s see if the NY Post actually includes my statement this time!

Why should I have to agree to a corporation's wildly expansive arbitration clause to attend a @KamalaHarris rally? Does the VP believe that if individuals have a conflict with a business, they should have to resolve it in a forum beholden to that business? @LetsMobilizeUS

Now they want to hang a rapper. As we all know, or ought to know, the Islamic Republic is an evil regime. #FreeToomaj

Are you taking oppression as given? Also: The name and photo of the teenager who wanted "to die trying to live." https://t.co/VE4vQ3HJeE

When doctors say you’re going to die, it’s supposed to be a scientific prediction, not a decree. But in the case of 19-year-old “ST,” the UK’s National Health Service is trying to enforce that prediction in court. https://t.co/5Iwfp72DWi

I see Bob Barker is trending. Has he finally been spayed or neutered?

I hate to have to give points to @RepMTG. But going out of your way to stand up for someone who voted the opposite way from you, and honoring the integrity and loyalty to the Constitution (as he reads it) that he showed in doing so, is something we need to see more of.
🧵Thread 1. One of my all time favorite stories is when @RepThomasMassie was the only Member of Congress that stood against the entire weight of Washington to try to stop the CARES ACT from passing and was the lone voice trying to remind everyone the Constitution still stands.

Considering how lovingly fan-turned-showrunner @TerryMatalas led the last season of #StarTrekPicard, what I want to know, in case #StarTrekLegacy doesn't happen, is: What else are you a fan of, sir?

It would be great to see [names redacted to avoid spoilers] on #StarTrekLegacy -- and I especially want to see Wesley as a recurring character.

Fans often have this fantasy that a show we love means as much to its stars as it does to us. #StarTrekPicard & @wilw's Ready Room showed that this once, it was real. And that made this season feel like a special experience they let us share, for which I want to thank them.

Is there a way to report an @instagram account where you suspect someone is being coerced into posting hot pictures that, if willingly posted, would be allowed?

People who support involuntary commitment should be helped to understand why that is horrible. Helped how? Why, through involuntary commitment, of course! What, you object? But I thought you said it was OK to coerce people into thinking straight! Or does that not apply to you?

When a business like @SpotifyUSA writes terms that say you can't sue them even if they deliberately hack your device, you should assume -- on that evidence alone -- that they plan to hack your device.

The new @SpotifyUSA terms say you can't sue them even if they send a hit man after you. And there's no opt-out except canceling your account.
