Truly @Amazon (@AmazonHelp) ... over the years you have made some wacky decisions, but the auto-opening Alexa for Shopping is truly the worst. You've taken the customer interface from five stars to zilch in an instant. #switchitoffplease
.@BlueShieldCA ... in case nobody told you, your phone system is terrible. Like, signal quality terrible. (Call drop outs, unstable/distorted line ...) 2+ hours on the phone (and still there ...) for a vacation override is absurd. Please let me know who to invoice for my time?
You know @Starbucks, you should hang your head in shame for your POS hard plastic coffee cup. Within 24 hours: jammed tight. And it broke in the struggle to reopen it. Key takeout: it's junk, and looking online it feels like *everyone* has the same experience.
If Alexis Carrington turns up tomorrow morning as the surprise witness in Federal Court, somebody has to give this show a full season order ... #Lehrmann #LawAndOrderFCU #FederalCourt
Reflections on a character named Chandler Bing, and the man who played him. #MatthewPerry #Vale

Warning: this story contains spoilers. And crazy outfits. And Australians doing splendidly overseas. And brilliant songs. And a dash of camp. #eurovision smh.com.au/culture/music/aus…
I’m Star Trek old school. Like TOS-Saavik-TWOK old school. And I was so down for Strange New Worlds. But I have never been more down for a show than a USS Titan/Captain Shaw series. (Please) make it so, @TerryMatalas. @ToddStashwick @Alex_Kurtzman denofgeek.com/tv/picard-acto…
.@jonathansfrakes is the best director in Star Trek, bar none. (Okay, Frakes *and* Nick Meyer.) S3 of Picard is next level. @StarTrek @StarTrekOnPPlus #StarTrekPicard #StartrekPicardSeason3

I was today days old when I realised @Orla_Brady (Laris in @StarTrek: #Picard) is the nurse in #AbsolutelyFabulous who recognises Patsy and says: "That's that old slag in the papers last week!" Already loved her. Could not love her more. @TerryMatalas @Ferrifrump @LlewellaGideon
“Equal parts nostalgia and subcutaneous menace.” Season three of Picard is Star Trek’s Mandalorian moment. @TerryMatalas @SirPatStew @jonathansfrakes @levarburton @gates_mcfadden @akaWorf @JeriLRyan @ToddStashwick @BrentSpiner #StarTrekPicard #StarTrek smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-ra…
I am madly in love with Philomena Cunk. #CunkonEarth @missdianemorgan @netflix @NetflixANZ smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-ra…
So, ten users in one house is okay, but two in two is not? Nuts. (Not to mention terribly analog.) What about a parent and child who do not live in the same house using one account? What about partners who do not live in the one house using one account? 🤷♂️
The second half of #AwardsSeason gets underway ... #Oscars #Oscars2023 smh.com.au/culture/movies/ac…
This is confusing. According to DFAT, we prohibited the "import, purchase or transport of oil, gas, refined petroleum products and coal" from Russia in April. So how is this a "major blow" to us? 🤷♂️
Vladimir Putin has placed a ban on the sale of oil to countries, including Australia, that implemented price caps on Russia in an attempt to put a dent in its war chest.

This is extraordinary. Sadly, I think everyone accepts that politicians lie as a matter of course. But to begin a political career on a bedrock of falsehoods is actually shocking.

In my 500 years in this gig, I have seen a *lot* of dumb decisions. But this is surely top five. Not just CNN's best show, but easily one of the best shows on TV. #stanleytucci #searchingforitaly @cnn independent.co.uk/arts-enter…
No, no, no. A thousand, million times no. 👀
YOUR SAY: Should co-pilots be removed from commercial flights?
In a bid to lower costs and the pressure of crew shortages, more than 40 countries have asked the UN to help make single-pilot flights a safe reality. #9News
