@Madken65 anecdata: Ordered the (union made) Biden campaign coffee mugs. They arrived shattered (thanks, DeJoy!). Let the campaign know, thought that was that.
Next day a message from the (unionized) fulfillment shop: they revised the packaging to withstand USPS and shipped replacements.

@Mandypar Aha, much smaller. Looks like they ditched the hydraulics -- has to save weight. Still what's the power supply, hmmm.

@process For a counterpoint we go live to

@Mandypar love the outtakes. Never understood the point of human-ish robots; we're a problematic design spec.

@BrentSullivan I think we're well past critical. US foreign policy "commitments" are meaningless now. Our allies are actively planning on that basis. Good for them, but sure feels like the end of an era.

'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'

@estherschindler I was in the beta test group for that device. Here's a picture from the trials:

@sfleetucker @th3j35t3r At this rate can add TSLA for extra snickers

@Usama_Backhair @th3j35t3r @Alfred *raises hand* ahhh, the empirical data show that dead cats...don't bounce

@th3j35t3r KILL IT WITH FIRE

@CanisPundit Ask for examples of jokes that should be avoided under the circumstances 😉

@LiberalLibrarian deliveries are supposed to resume on 4/20 because completely normal usual reasons.

@Keysalagain huh, didn't realize he intersected with Omni magazine. Odd mix of science, sci fi, fantasy, and ...whatever. By the publishers of Penthouse magaine. Has there been anything like it since? cc @MLClark
