I’ve gotten 4 texts THIS AFTERNOON asking for money for Janet Mills. I didn’t know who she was a month ago. I think I’m on too many lists.

It is a bittersweet day. I got the return of my #Rivian #R2 deposit. I love my new #Ioniq5 but I really wish I could have held out until the R2. Rivian had no Indiana lease plan, so I went with the Hyundai. It’s an awesome upgrade from a ten year old gas vehicle. Sorry Rivian.

Im rejecting tech and paying for something with a check. Better hitch up the horses and head to Olsen’s Mercantile for some chicken feed. #luddite #genX

I cannot stand it. I get no fewer than 5 texts and 5 emails PER DAY asking for money for some cause or politician. I am tapped out.

Woman in parking lot: What kind of car is that? I’ve never heard of it.
Me: It’s a Hyundai Ioniq. It’s electric.
W: So it’s like a plug in hybrid.
M: No. it’s electric.
W: (looks confused)
M: No this just runs on a battery.
W: mine is a hybrid.

Congressman Carson Statement on Use of Camp Atterbury for ICE Detainment WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman André Carson (IN-07) made the following statement:

Camp Atterbury in Indiana will be used for ICE detainment.

ICE is ripping families apart for offenses as minor as traffic tickets, and others are detained without having committed any crime at all. Read my full statement: carson.house.gov/media/press-...

Indiana approves tolling on all interstates Gov. Mike Braun signed a bill into law allowing the move on any interstate highway without additional legislative approval.

Twenty ish years ago when Gov Kernan (D) proposed tolls to shore up funding, it led to him losing the election to Gov Daniels (R) Now Republicans just do whatever they want. #indiana #politics #tollroad

I would love to live in the timeline where Shirley Chisholm won the presidency in 1972, and it triggered the fall of communism and ended poverty and the threat of nuclear war forever. #aNovelidea

I actually bought the iPhone Photography class through Instagram and it really is teaching me stuff. This isn’t an ad. I am just really surprised it wasn’t a *total* scam.
