Let me get this right, medical provider: your system can't fit my whole name (party like it's 1995!), the credit card must match that truncated name (Christop? At least most of those brain-dead systems use the cooler Christoph. So continental), I can't pay by phone, and you are going to charge extra for me to send a check (which I will have to go to the bank to get because I haven't written a check in 3-4 years)?

There is something so freeing about my new #poetry and #commonplace #prose #newsletters because A) I am assiduously avoiding looking at any stats from the start (when my prior lists got large---by my standards, there were less than 2000 for the largest---I got seduced by stats), and B) the platform I am using (ButtonDown) is run by a fantastic developer, so I can avoid getting bogged down in rolling my own system. Oh, and C) the lists have open RSS feeds as well.

There's really no longer any point to the #Olympics -- and I will not brook any arguments about "keeping politics out of X" -- that's the whole point: they are necessarily political and that intrinsic part of their nature is what is, and should be, leveraged against those countries.
Well, #NYT, you not only didn't push anyone in my household into subscribing to the print edition, but you just lost two Games subscribers in the process. #crosswords
That's the stuff! #food
I've seen crapification for a while now, but this is much better. The first word that came to mind when I saw it was encrustation. → https://social.coop/@Fritinancy@mastodon.social/109789696138097653
