Oh yeah, told to wait and they’ll cancel my rental (which is also my lodging) with 2 hours to solve it. Have been trying since last night. DO NOT RENT A VEHICLE WITH THIS COMPANY.
PSA to anyone considering Turo…. NEVER RENT FROM @turo. EVER. They will force you to purchase protection after you rent even if the system allows you to decline. They’re leaving me stranded thousands of miles from home. I was “escalated” to the corporate team and told to wait.
Absolutely no one asked me...
But Velva Sheen are my all-time favorite t-shirt, they only get better with time, the harder you wear them the better they get - the best there is, nothing will change my mind.

We live in a world without taste because taste requires judgment, and judgement requires hierarchy. We’ve been taught to reject both.
Taste is slowly cultivated over time through exposure, repetition, comparison, and the willingness to say This is better than That.
The modern world wants everything to be flat, interchangeable, and instantly gratifying.
Real taste excludes. To have taste is to beleive in an objective reality. To turn one thing down in favor of another. To say no to inclusion.
People always doom when they realize that generative AI is going to ruin the credibility of digital media, but it’s actually very hopeful imo. The internet devolving into a fake scammy slopfest is going to force many of us to return to analog social networks & irl experiences
I grew up in San Francisco, walking with my family by the Golden Gate Bridge. I still remember the thick and iconic chain railing that gave the place a sense of distinctiveness.
Now the chains are gone, and they've been replaced by a soulless metal railing that's colder than a hospital waiting room. I'm sure some bureaucrat somewhere justified it with a tidy spreadsheet, but they stripped away a little piece of San Francisco's soul in the process.
This is how a culture loses its charm: slowly, quietly... one small decision at a time.
