Hey @Carvana My daughter bought a 2018 Camry from one of your locations and had it shipped to Nashville. She took delivery at the Nashville store today. Her inspection lasted all of 5 minutes before she discovered that the spare tire well was full of rusty water.
Someone at your seller location failed big time. She declined delivery, but has been told she must eat the $700 delivery fee.
That’s not right. You guys failed to inspect and remedy the issue before shipping. You need to refund her delivery fee.
I’m at my dad’s house. He’s on hospice so not much time left. He’s been flying since 1940 and has a lot of pilot friends. This morning they’re buzzing the house for him. Probably illegal but I don’t give a damn. It’s making him smile.
In New Orleans I could not sleep. The city was still awake at two in the morning. I refused to be the first to quit.
I found a place called Cafe du Monde.
Three items on the menu. Beignets. Cafe au lait. Orange juice. Three items since 1862.
I bowed to the menu.
Jerome brought three beignets without asking. Golden squares buried under a mountain of powdered sugar. The dough underneath was a rumor.
I picked one up like a civilized man.
The sugar detonated.
My shirt. My hands. The table. A woman to my left minding her own business at two in the morning. She did not flinch. She was already white.
The man next to her was white. The chair behind her was white. The whole cafe was a joyful crime scene and nobody was investigating.
I tried to brush the sugar off my shirt. It got worse. I tried harder. Worse still. Jerome watched me the way a zookeeper watches a new animal figure out the enclosure.
"Does the sugar always do this."
"Every time."
"Has no one in a hundred and sixty years considered reducing—"
"That IS the amount."
I gave up. I ate the second beignet with no precautions. Sugar went into my hair. A man across the room raised his coffee cup at me. I had joined something.
The cafe au lait was bitter with chicory and rude about it. Jazz from somewhere I could not see. An old couple sharing one plate, both white as ghosts, laughing.
In my country, beauty is controlled. A garden trimmed. A tea poured without a drop.
In New Orleans, beauty lands on your suit and does not apologize.
I sat in the sugar until sunrise. I did not brush off a single grain.
After the flight had already been delayed more than two hours, it became clear only one ground worker was available to load the plane. So the Delta captain walked onto the tarmac and started moving bags himself
A bunch of Argentine fans began insulting and harassing a man for wearing a Mexico shirt at the World Cup Final last night.
He burst out laughing, showed them a red card, started dancing, and took off the Mexican shirt to reveal a Spain shirt underneath.
What an absolute legend 😂😂👋🏼
Hey everyone, I hate to ask for assistance, but I don't know where else to turn. I'm posting for help with getting my 86 year old dad a replacement work van, so he can continue to work and provide for my family. Especially my disabled sister. My dad has always worked hard to support our family, even after two open-heart surgeries and double knee replacements. Now, his work van has broken down, and he can’t accept jobs or transport tools and supplies we desperately need. This van is also our family’s only way to get to medical appointments and dialysis. After launching just today, I’d be grateful for any support—whether through a donation or sharing this with others. Even a small gift or a quick share can help us keep his work and our family moving forward. Thank you so much for your kindness and prayers during this difficult time. I also have a thread on TD if anyone wants to read more about it. Seriously thanks to anyone that can help out at all. https://t.co/mUOzRtT9B5
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
