ICYMI: Last week on "Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys," @elizablackstock.bsky.social explored the wild ways that Enzo Ferrari's love life impacted the Scuderia: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRQH...

anyway a Kate Update™️, we adopted a Pomeranian (possibly a mix, tbd) a week ago and his name is Merle and we love him very much. As he decompresses and starts to trust us, we learn something new about his personality every day and he is a spunky lil guy

Can’t say I feel bad about Conor Daly’s PolkaDot thing getting rejected 💀

it’s always something when people point something out and then it’s all “they’re so mad about xyz. it’s ridiculous they need to go touch grass” like oh no heaven forbid something gets pointed out. on the social media sites that are literally meant for opinions

re: pato ad i really don’t like it when i’m reminded that motorsport will never see the actual value of women (especially young women) and are willing to use young women as a punchline 🙃 it really sucks but yeah the commercial is fine who cares, right?
