Allyson, @davidgewertz at @zdnet has a post up about GM today. Have you commented on it? [link]
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.
Several pictures are askew!
There has been some structural damage to older buildings, including the Smithsonian and the National Cathedral. I doubt we've heard about all of the homeowners' with some actual damage yet.

Allyson, every time they reply first RT it. And when you respond put a period before the @GM or whatever, so that everyone following you sees the back & forth.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ugh. Now I look like a twitter failure (because I am, I never really used it).
Thanks, flea, I emailed him.
Used part found in Philadelphia.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah, so that's what the . does! Slowly I learn.

Capture it before it escapes!
Seriously, what a f*cking ordeal to have to go through just to get a $50 part replaced. GM deserves to be shamed in public.

Nah, it's like everything else where there are tricks to getting attention. Post again with an update even if it's "now they're claiming they'll help but I've been told that before" or something. Basically, people like a story. And Twitter particularly likes a story where the third act is "I got no help until I started shouting about it here."
But good news on the used part! Does that mean they found a way around it having to be new?

You know, I understand that they can't just pull the part out of their ass, but it seems to me that they should either GIVE you a used car of equal value or give that amount of money toward a new one. Hopefully, this only happens once ina blue moon, so it wouldn't really hurt their bottom line. If this is happening a lot, then there is a problem they need to resolve with that make and model.

Don't you remember Paul Dooley's character (a used car dealer) in Breaking Away having a heart attack when his son gives the money back on a used car?

Ah, so that's what the . does!
It's the shorthand. And I didn't understand it for ages so dull explanation follows for anyone who cares:
If you start a message with @Name, it will only appear in the timelines of people who are following both you and @Name. This is only when you start with the @. So if you're replying to someone and want everyone following you to see it, put something before @Name. People use a period since it's easy to ignore when you're reading, but you could say "Dear @Name" and it'd work the same way.
