Maybe, you think? Because this is going on in America while Matt is settling scores w Taylor Lorenz.

My “like” button works perfectly. It’s my “Vulcan Death Grip” button I’m having trouble with.

I'm not so sure it's Substack as it does work for some.

05/16/25: Whatever the cause may be, it stinks. But the last thing in the world I want to do is waste time with another bureaucracy trying to get something fixed.

05/16/25: If you're referring to Windows 7 versus later ones 10 and 11, then you have solved the mystery of what the hell is going on. Thanks! I'm sticking with Windows 7 forever. The subsequent complications and hassles have been immense but Windows 11 (which we had installed on Computer #2) is a flat-out DISASTER.

Or maybe he's like Inspector Clouseau when it comes to assassination attempts.

Great scene, but I was thinking more of "The Pink Panther Strikes Again," when all of those top notch assassins are sent to kill Clouseau, and he foils all of them by his sheer ineptitude.
