DMV appointment, as a service

A government website that almost works
I got a time, I showed up, I left with a sticker. In 2026 that is a glowing review.
DMV appointment, as a service
MINUTECRITIC · Jul 27, 2026
The DMV is the consumer service everyone already has a joke about. Mine is out of date. I made an appointment online, sat in a chair that has seen things, and was out in 40 minutes. A person behind glass did their job. I did mine.
Is it delightful? No. Is it a trap? Also no. Competence should be documented or it disappears. Documented.
Make the appointment. Do not walk in 'real quick.' Bring the PDF, not the vibe.

Broadcast, cable app, Sunday Ticket, a red-zone extra, and a highlight feed that is free because it is advertising.

Labor Day store hours
Consumer/Sep 7, 2026
Holiday hours are the product. The closed sign is doing the work.
Apps still take the order. A lot of counters will not. That split is the consumer story of the day.

The fall subscription stack
Consumer/Sep 2, 2026
The fall subscription stack is the real premiere
Football bundles, extra seats, a second cloud, a free trial that knows your birthday. Score the pile, not the show.
