Hey @elonmusk: adios to you and all your hate-mongering pals in your billionaire’s echo chamber. And to my pre-Musk Twitterverse: it’s been fun, see ya!

Snatching incompetence from the jaws of competence: the plane is here, the passengers are here but @united can’t dispatch UA6150 b/c on less-hot-than-usual summer day at America’s worst airport, @iah, the plane is ‘too hot’

Hey @twitter: I won’t be sharing a platform with a treasonous traitor who traffics in hate and lies. Bye!
Yo @lyft: I’m deleting your app now. You are not an honest company. App shows 5 drivers free within 2 blocks, but when I don’t pay the extortionate ‘immediate pickup’ fee, you assign me a driver that’s across town, despite nearby free drivers. Bye!

Thanks for nothing @Amtrak: aboard the 16+ hour-late CaliforniaZephyr, the much-vaunted dinner service was replaced with a meager portion of lukewarm canned stew. Meanwhile the crew seems to be enjoying the regular fare behind closed doors.

The week’s most useless article is a celebration of self-indulgent writing and breathtaking, arrogant incompetence. What’s to like? nytimes.com/2022/04/20/magaz…

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself. Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

I sat on it for a while wondering why me? Then I realized... I’m the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme. Because you can’t claim that you’re targeting marginalized kids in the name of “parental rights” if another parent is standing up and saying no.

On @united flight to Denver, NO flight attendants are masked. But they are breathing on everyone.
At ORD #OHare, in @united T1, virtually EVERY pilot is parading around maskless. Get ready for mass flight cancellations in 2+ weeks
Yo @united: your cynical pandering to the fools who don't believe in sensible Covid precautions has me cancelling my already-booked trips with you. You figure selling tickets to the anti-vax, anti-mask crowd will offset the $$$ from those who trust science. Good luck with that.

More hate from the party of hate. The @GOP, home to hate-mongering bigots like @marcorubio, shit on the memory of a revered judge. Why? He’s African-American. nytimes.com/2022/04/12/us/po…
