I know it’s so hard to lose her. Even though their time with us is never long enough, 14 years full of fun, cuddles, and love is a beautiful, full life. She had her favorite people every day, and that meant everything. You were the best part of her life from start to finish.

That kind of “no hope” thinking is how nothing changes. If you believe something would make the country better, then it’s worth more than just a passing comment.

You’ve got your own voice. Use it. In a system like ours, that means being able to explain your position and defend it when it’s challenged.

Otherwise you’re not really standing for anything, you’re just agreeing in theory and giving up in practice.

You have your voice. They haven’t taken that away yet. Use it effectively.

The CCP didn’t just subsidize cheap cars. They built out the manufacturing capacity to produce them at scale.

As China’s demographics shifted and long-term labor supply came into question, they leaned heavily into automation and industrial efficiency.

That’s the real reason these cars are so inexpensive. It’s not just lower prices, it’s a fundamentally different cost structure driven by scale, integration, and advanced manufacturing.

What’s unsettling competitors isn’t cheap cars themselves.

It’s the ability to consistently produce cars more cheaply than anyone else.

A 2008 Silver Toyota Yaris Sedan. I sure do. It’s amazing the things still run so we’ll.

Nope. She slew me.

Gorgeous!

I mean I do comment sometimes, and yeah, this is it.

I don’t usually comment but yeah, this is it.

Death by Snu Snu.

CoCo fundamentally changed the way I think about death and the value of memory. I went into it knowing almost nothing about Día de los Muertos, so I wasn’t expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did.

The idea that someone can disappear forever only when they are no longer remembered hit me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. It was such a sad thought, but strangely comforting too. Sad because it means there is a kind of “second loss” that can come with time, but comforting because it suggests that the people we love are never truly gone as long as we carry them with us, speak their names, and keep their stories alive.

That idea stayed with me long after the movie ended. It made death feel less like a hard ending and more like a responsibility of love through memory.

Plus, the music is amazing.

Humiliation? Like he’s capable of it. He tweeted they were dumb as he left. As far as he’s concerned, he won.
