I just discovered the Twitter #trending thingie

Which means the last shreds of my physical social life have now been completely replaced with 140-character political snark.

Even Joe would hate you by now

Rudimentary English: The instinctive knowledge that there is no reason for the quotation marks in Trump's tweet.

Snarkiness: The gratuitous codicil explaining that "rudimentary" means "involving or limited to basic principles."

Let It Go, Jake: See above. And above that.

Dear Comcast,

You guys came out and installed two DVRs in our house a couple weeks ago. Your technicians not only installed them wrong—crossing the RCA cables for BOTH DVRs so our speakers buzzed like motorcycles—but they also completely disconnected our DVD players. Plus, doing all that shoddy work took them over half a day.

I wasn't there when they did their "work," but I'm smart enough to figure out how to connect a DVD player and match colors on RCA cable plugs so I've fixed everything.

Inept cable installers aren't the end of the world. But for the prices you charge I'd expect a little more competence from your employees. And despite my snarkiness here, I'm not filing a complaint or asking for an apology. But I thought you'd like to know how your employees are representing your company and your product.

Jake
