Some may read these words and note only their inherent limitations, the latent desperation, the quiescent gloom. Read them again. Now, heed their call to benevolence, to perseverance, to altruism, to eleemosynary action. And know: Where you are, you're not alone. #BetterTogether

@askspectrum my elderly parents have been without internet or TV since MONDAY 3/30/2026 in zip code 91107. Despite numerous calls, no remedy, no fix, and no end in sight! What’s your problem and HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT?

They have limited mobility, and this has negatively impacted their banking, shopping, med care/Rx, connectivity to family, and quality of life… but NOT THEIR BILL? The failure alone is bad, but the RADIO SILENCE from @Ask_Spectrum @GetSpectrum is beyond unacceptable! Anyone???

Saw a little bit of rotation over South Arcadia. Not quite enough oomph to get to the ground, but we got a nice little blast of wind as it went by, with lots of lightning and eventual downpour. @ABC7

Hey @Ask_Spectrum why does the #SuperBowl broadcast keep going in and out? Pixelated to the point that you can’t read the score or see the players. NOT occurring on other service provider broadcasts…

The @FoothillsMS quad was filled with students today attending our annual club fair. Clubs are organized by student leaders and supervised by adult staff, and provide opportunities for students to connect to new friends, interests, and their school community.

May God give you for every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer. #ITFDB (sketch by my dad)
