How do you rent electric cars at a site that doesn't have a charger and so can't supply them fully charged? This is unacceptably bad customer service. And they still won't offer even a partial refund.

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

Avis location only had electric vehicles (not what I reserved 2 months in advance), none of them charged up, because it didn't have a charger. How is this crap possible? Messed up my schedule. Now they don't want to offer a refund. Grrrrrrrr

@peterbakernyt You're assuming later generations have heard of him

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

@TimOBrien And he hails from Alta California. Just sayin'.

@EricLiptonNYT In my book, not as amazing as the amount of news coverage of Taylor Swift's tour

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

@brianstelter I'm so sorry, Brian. Sounds like a wonderful person.

@jswatz As a longtime Angeleno, I'd say the premise of that movie -- that a bus could EVER get up to 50 mph in LA traffic, much less maintain that speed -- was just laughable

Never expected dominoes to fall this fast. Two months after indictment, four of Trump's co-defendants in Georgia (three of them lawyers) have pleaded guilty. https://t.co/5sOQxzLkSc

@BeschlossDC The bipartisan cheers and applause for Ford. Hard to imagine today. Also hard to fathom: His ugly shirt with collar points about a foot long. The mid-70s were not a fashion high point.

@jswatz The stories of people getting violently ill -- even dying -- from eating the world's spiciest tortilla chip are awful and my heart goes out. But they also make me wonder how my asbestos-lined friend John would handle it.

@jen_rice_ Pretty much all of them because that's how I roll

@ClydeHaberman Correllary: When a spokesman says "So-and-so has been perfectly clear ..." it's, ahem, usually less than true

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

@Shteyngart @Delta They liked "Our Country Friends" so much, they wanted to get to know you better

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

@StacyCowley Also worth noting that The Athletic is non-union. If this is kosher, what's to stop NYT from buying Politico, getting rid of our politics and DC team and "subcontracting" it to Politico. Or ProPublica instead of our investigations team. Or ...

[Stacy Cowley @StacyCowley]

AG Sulzberger gave a Publisher's Award today to a team at The Athletic. Yay! Well-deserved!

So why is AG Sulzberger claiming that "subcontracting" NYT Sports to The Athletic (wholly owned by NYT) is *not* NYT subcontracting to itself?

Our demand: Stop Violating Our Contract.

Is there a setting on NYT so that I don't see any more Barbie stories? I'm looking desperately but can't find it. Maybe it's a higher-priced subscription? I'd pay it. Please make it stop.

[Richard Perez-Pena @perezpena]

@dianabhenriques lmao where do you want to start? And do we have to limit the conversation to the WaPo?

@jswatz High bar, my friend, high bar
