Sat on the floor to get a box I haven’t touched in 5 years and… one of the tiny little squeaky tennis balls our Chihuahua (died in ‘22) loved until his last day… rolled towards me.

Heck yes. Taking this to the beach this summer 🏖️

Nothing practical, purely aesthetics - they’re sexy!

(You should probably know, I’m chronically unrealistic... AKA a dreamer)

Messaging was never a strength for Dems

Not gonna lie, if I get a new, or an almost new, BEV… I’m really only interested in a Ford Mach-E Mustang.

He must be one of these
-1 using a body spray, not concentrated perfume
-2 a shareholder in the parent company
-3 unaware of damaged olfactory nerves after too many COVID infections

What would happen if someone sprayed Febreze in her direction? lol

Holy smokes - the 2026 model has rotatable middle seats? Genius.

Now if only I had 3 more kids to justify that giant size.

I could 100% see me rocking an ID Buzz.

Also, had an EV9 on my tail a few days ago, and I… liked it? I haven't liked (enough to buy) any of Kia’s EV designs to date.

I’d pay good money for a used Bolt, but they’re even hotter than 3 bed/2 bath single family homes in a 6+ school ratings district in this area.

Any top recommendations for a new EV?

@Pontifex: #ArtificialIntelligence systems increasingly shape and permeate our mentality and social environments. Like every great historical transformation, this too calls not only for technical competence, but also for a humanistic formation capable of making visible the logic behind economics, embedded biases and forms of power that shape our perception of reality. Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded. When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth. April 17, 2026

Who needs church when the Pope is on #socialmedia?

Added context:
I was by the swings, having been deterred from parent conversations when the topic became recent trips to Porto, Portugal, and considering moving there because ”it’s so beautiful and calm there, and the health care is amazing,” so I was watching the scene unfold before I stepped in

Agreed 💕

💯

I should clarify - they’re “cheap” to people with unlimited disposable income. Most consumers with $60k on the hook for a new whip are looking for a small luxury brand.

🎯

They’re cheap, big, and the manufacturers had a surplus inventory (I’ve been told repeatedly).
