Of course this is, hands down, *truly* the funniest news story of the last ten years.

Then you think about it and it is also frustrating, infuriating, and another #AI -heavy example of how #The21stCenturySucks and we're all living in #TheDumbestTimeline

Just got a flyer for a "Mobile Wastemobile" (for the disposal of hazardous waste), and I thought, 'Hey, what a great thing...they'll come by and take away your batteries and old paint...'

Then you read further and it gives you an address where the Wastemobile is parked [which happens to be the usual location] so you can bring it to them...sigh.

We truly live in #TheDumbestTimeline (!)
#The21stCenturySucks

Bought a new device that is so lightweight that they actually put a weight in the box to make you feel like you bought something. It actually says "box weighting" on it.

Forget living in a #StarTrek future, I think we are living in a #Futurama one.

#TheDumbestTimeline

After a decade of shouting it from the rooftops, the journalists are catching on, we truly do live in #TheDumbestTimeline

It’s cool of Chump to take time away from playing golf and dismantling the American republic to play huckster for the world’s deadliest car brand. Very presidential. Not at all swampy.
