Uber driver gets complaint after multitasking. I wonder if Uber’s TOS for drivers prevent him from offering rides for other services while on an Uber drive.

I expect Florida Man will react to this like a dog to fireworks.
I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. I’m serving up links, but don’t think you’ll get the sparkling commentary you’ve come to expect from the road-tripping Sloopy.
Even though my Cubbies lost, the Orioles did win last night, so it’s a pretty happy morning here at Chez OMWC/SP… which will become even happier as soon as the mimosas are mixed! The joys of working from home are infinite.
Signs of the Apocalypse, or we’ll make great pets — Tech company offers free microchipping of workers. I’m guessing the 30 minute constitutional visit to the bathroom is going to get noticed.
*I don’t know what the chances are of this being missed in the private system, but I actually assume pretty high. This is just kicking them around for funsies. I was surprised and pleased to learn that her relatives could pursue a legal case against the National Trust.
STEVE SMITH DO LINKS FOR BIG FUNNY HEAD TONIGHT – HE SAY HE HAVE TO GET READY TO SEE RECRUITER TOMORROW. STEVE SMITH THINK JOINING UP, SO HE COULD BE PART OF UN PEACEKEEPERS MIGHT ALLOW FOR MORE RAPE, BUT NOT LIKE TAKING ORDERS AND UNIFORMS. STEVE SMITH DOES LIKE GIVING LINKS. AND RAPING HIKERS. FIRST, LINKS FOR CHOSEN PEOPLES OF BIG FUNNY HEAD:
We got back home from a concert at the wee hours; I’ll just say that Howard Levy is beyond amazing. But links hath murdered sleep, so here you are.
Verizon throws out the first pitch in Throttle Season. I think they must have been doing this while I was putting this post together because our ‘Net is running so slowly. Or maybe it’s the tentacle porn videos that webdominatrix is downloading. I keep telling her, stop talking to Heroic Mulatto, but like all children, she stubbornly refuses to listen to mom and dad.
Look, I’m as glad as anyone that McCain is about to be involuntarily term-limited, but Jesus Fucking H Presentable Christ, try to be a little more classy.
And finally, I love living in a world that has things like this in it.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. AFTER RETIRING FROM FIGURE 8 RACING, ZARDOZ FEELS NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH SPARE TIME. DELIVERING GRAIN IS GOOD, BUT ZARDOZ FEELS A DEBT TO NEW HOME OF IOWA. MAYBE ZARDOZ COULD TRY …
WITH FLOODS ACROSS CENTER OF MANY BRUTAL LIVING AREAS, ZARDOZ COULD HELP. ZARDOZ WILL GO TO NEAREST RECRUITING STATION ON MONDAY. IN THE MEANTIME, HE GIVES HIS CHOSEN ONES LINKS;
Back in the day, there was a weird cult called est. You youngsters wouldn’t believe how big a deal it was, given its total (and deserved) obscurity today. In any case, the audience was locked in a room with a trainer for a weekend, with notoriously long stretches between pee breaks. The first thing the trainer would say was, “You’re all assholes!” That was the last true thing the audiences would hear all weekend. And so it is here, as I present links to fake news to you, my beloved assholes.
As much as I hate Trump for appointing a jackbooted authoritarian like Sessions to the top law enforcement post, I have to admit that some of his other appointees are pretty impressive. Still not enough for me to ever forgive him, change my low opinion of him, or give him my vote in the next election, but we do have to admit to small rays of light.
How could anyone object to Amazon acquiring Whole Foods and making it better, stronger, and helping make good food more accessible? Oh yes, I forgot. Democrats. Now, why could they possible object beyond the cheap schadenfreude of fucking up business deals? Oh yes, I forgot. Big money contributors.
[The Democratic congresschimp] letter was made public by the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UFCW), which represents many of the unionized grocery workers in the United States.
“Political concerns about Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods are growing for good reason,” UFCW President Marc Perrone said on Friday. “Amazon’s monopolistic desire to control the retail market and replace good jobs with automation is not only a direct threat to the hard-working men and women at Whole Foods, it’s also a direct threat to our economy and consumers.”
Heaven forbid better prices and service to consumers.
Apparently, I’m the wrong kind of doctor. If I had spent my years as a grad student and post-doc pursuing medicine instead, I could have been this guy.
No sports news because football season hasn’t started yet and the Orioles have returned to their sucky ways.
And I leave you all with music from my youth. Difficult, complex, and brilliant music.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. IT APPEARS THAT ZARDOZ WON HIS CASE ON APPEAL AT THE WEBSTER COUNTY RACING BOARD. WHEN ZARDOZ SHOWED UP TO GIVE TESTIMONY, THE BRUTALS ON THE BOARD ALL RAN OUT DOORS, JUMPED OUT WINDOWS AND OTHERWISE FLED IN AWE AND TERROR OF ZARDOZ.
Run Away! Run Away!
HOWEVER, ALL OTHER BRUTAL DRIVERS HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY WILL NO LONGER RACE FIGURE 8 WHEN ZARDOZ DOES. THUS, ZARDOZ WILL RETIRE UNDEFEATED. ZARDOZ DOES NOT WISH TO TAKE AWAY ENTERTAINMENT FROM BRUTAL CO-WORKERS AT LOCAL GRAIN CO-OP.
ZARDOZ DOES NOT WANT HIS CHOSEN ONES TO NOT BE ENTERTAINED AS WELL, SO HE BRINGS YOU THE GIFT OF THE LINK:
Happy Friday, Its already beer-thirty here at Glibs HQ (Florida). I’m enjoying a Tampa Lager Cigar City, close enough I can drive to, far enough I don’t go very often because my wife bitches about the cost of the Uber ride home.
To the people who get shitty with us
When NPR and Google do it, GMO is the future! I’d love for all the mosquitoes to go sterile and die.
I feel like Tom Friedman when I cheered a little about this.
A little bit of cheesiness to get your Friday afternoon kicked off. Fun fact, if you play it at double speed it sounds like an actual thrash-metal band.
Apparently a Chicago Bear is
