kottke.org“The D.M.V. is a beacon of equality in this country. Celebrate the place where you can watch a celebrity fill out the same forms that you do. We should revel in the fact that there is no express lane for beautiful, rich people to renew their licenses.” https://kottke.org/24/08/the-dmv-is-good-actually
modusMatt@kottke isn't AAA a kind of flash pass for the DMV though? You can at least do registration there, or so I hear
ToddZ Ⓥ@kottke Lol -- I've always thought there must be a shortcut around the DMV that privileged folks know about. I've never seen anyone at my DMV who looked beautiful and rich. Or even slightly poised and put together.
Scott Purdy@kottke One of my best celebrity experiences when I lived in LA in the late 90s was standing in line behind David Schwimmer to get my license renewed. He was clearly trying to keep a low profile and all the Angelenos in line maintained the social contract. Then he got to the front of the line and the DMV worker took his license, looked up at him, and then called the entire office over to meet him. Just a thing of beauty to experience.
