I have a question for @BMW @bmwna: if your marketers don’t proofread release notes copy, why should long-suffering #iDrive 9 owners feel confident that this release is the one that makes finally our cars’ software performant and stable?

.@smerconish finally did it: a mad professor was a guest today. This guy was so into his bubble he actually suggested prediction markets should be used to determine when to go to war. A cautionary reminder that that the ivory tower can be dangerous.

.@smerconish Poll Q: "If the Iran war crashes the US and/or world economy, will the Trump administration pay a [steep] political price?"

It's 8:57 AM ET and there're only 7 minutes left this week of @SIRIUSXM #POTUS 's blowhard @ChrisCuomo noise. What a poor replacement this is for the very-much-missed "Potus Mornings." At least @smerconish (next up) can be interesting, aside from endless "mingle" shtick.

Own a new #BMW? In the trial period for a subscription service? Want to take advantage of the offered discount in the app? Fugahdaboutit. @BMW @BMWUSA can’t cancel an active trial and can’t add a subscription until the trial ends. It’s #TheUltimateSalesRigidity

.⁦⁦@BMWUSA⁩ ⁦@BMW⁩ your enthusiasm for cost cutting is apparently not limited to one key and no printed manuals. Both are terrible ideas. The QR code in the laughably abbreviated warranty card supplied for a MY26 X3 leads to a site with no MY26 documents.

So, @TMobile is able to bill me monthly for a grandfathered small business plan but _cannot tell me if the international roaming included in that plan has changed_. It’s a business that can collect for a product but can’t describe it to the customer.

Yo, @Azure @AzureSupport: WTF? No burstable instances in eastus? Plus, you killed my VM which was _not_ on spot pricing. ETA?

Yeah, no TV like @YouTubeTV ‘s overpriced, stuttering, low-quality 4K stream of #SBLIX. And no, it’s not my 1Mbps fiber wired connection. They shoulda spent the $$ on tech, not embarrassing themselves with commercials during the pre-game show.

Really great experience on bmwusa.com. New definition of “mobile responsive”. ⁦@BMWUSA

In addition to the echo chamber on the 1/24 episode bemoaning Trump’s blanket pardon of 1/6 rioters (which was very wrong), @wedu #floridathisweek allowed an element sure to drive MAGA crazy: a guest with an American flag pin turned upside down. Disrespect.

Gee, #NFLonNetflix, could your stream look any worse? Sacrificed quality this time to avoid a repeat fail? I’m old-school but that 2000-era resolution is just ugly. BTW, #Sony #Bravia 9 in calibrated #Netflix mode.

A delayed reaction to today’s @smerconish on @CNN: I can’t decide if it’s more galling or more infuriating to hear @profgalloway rant about “the bottom 90%” from the comfort of a tenured job at @nyuniversity. Just pure BS from pointy-headed elites! Adds fuel to #MAGA.

Hey, @Netwrix, shouldn't this be, "Get-MyFreeCopyNow"? And how about showing a #PowerShell version newer than one from 2016? Can't buy me love, or apparently, verisimilitude. #MarketingByAmateurs

OMG. Where did you get the long-winded "analyst" guest, @smerconish_com? One can only hope you never ask him for directions to the nearest Wawa.
