I asked 10Min to make a report on the Sonder/Marriott breakup. In plain boring language. I prefer my news in cold, unemotional summaries. No sensationalism, no heart stopping story-telling. Just the data, in the correct sequence. en.10minhotel.com/2025/11/10/wha…

@martinsoler No bias is a part of human nature. Irrespective of whether the media is independent or not, bias will always bleed in. It's just an independent bias...

I think it is critical for society to have free independent media. But so far every media in history ended up with biases. Public, state funded, private, billionaire funded, startups. Is a true unbiased model possible? protectmypublicmedia.org/why/

@martinsoler Could not agree more!

I have a Tesla. It’s a great car. Lease is soon over. I’ll get another one. Having a Tesla is not a symbol of anything other than that I like a good next gen car. “Republicans” mock people wearing masks as a symbol. “Democrats” mock Teslas as a symbol. Please grow up.

@lukeburgis @Airbnb Alarming if true & makes a strong argument to always choose hotels.

My wife, daughter, and I stayed at an @Airbnb in NYC in November. Perfectly normal stay. Nothing happened. When we left, the owner said there was a small stain on the hardwood floor he couldn't clean and said it took him $7500 to fix, including literally replacing floorboards. We know nothing about this, saw nothing, looks totally unfamiliar. Feels like insurance fraud, or something? AirBNB took his side because we couldn't provide a picture of the floor at the exact minute we walked out the door. Are you kidding me? Has anyone else had an experience with AirBNB like this? Any attorneys who know how to deal with this sort of absurd claim?

@martinsoler Space is the new frontier, Martin - we think you should open the first hotel on a future Moon Base and use this play on words for its name... 🚀😉🌜
