Laura Chinchilla: “Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre cuerpos policiales“
La expresidenta Laura Chinchilla afirmó este sábado que el presidente Rodrigo Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre los cuerpos policiales. “El modelo policial de Costa Rica se caracteriza por la dispersión del mando, así diseñado por la legislación para evitar la concentración y el abuso de poder. De ahí que resulte fundamental […]

Ello sweet and lovely Friendos 
Here I am! I know, I'm late... I blame Arwen... I had my door open so she could reach me but apparently, she won't do that... I was so tired that the few hours I slept, I slept good... But when I woke up, I was greeted by smelly bits on the floor... And Arwen was very restless. So, I rushed Arwen outside. And she took her time. I needed to wee baldy too, so waiting for Arwen was rather hard... Then she got the meds and I started cleaning...
So it all took a little longer before I was able to head to the gym and all that...
Yesterday was a loooong day!! We went to the garage around noon. I had warned dad that a part of the highway was shut off and he needed to drive towards my place, and hit the other highway there. So, of course, he drove the way he always drove and... Had to drive the long way around because, heck, the highway was closed! 🤦🏼♂️ If only someone had said something... Ugh...
Im still no fan of the way how dad drives... And that didn't improve after last week... But, we got to the garage. And then... We had to wait for ages, as the man that dad had the appointment with, had an unscheduled appointment with folks that were making an outing of the garage visit... So.... We waited, a lot... I tried some of the cars, and found the keys in one of them. That... Should not happen! So, when the man *finally* had time for us, I did tell him that he had an insurance issue with the keys... And he was grateful for my telling him!
But, they got the car and it will be ready June 6th. Until then, they have an awesome loaner, that I was allowed to drive. Which was very cool, to me, at least. 😂
But, we didn't get home till past 17, when I usually go to bed around 15:30. Arwen did her things and then it was almost 17:30 when I was able to fall asleep.
My alarm woke me up at the usual time and then I found the surprises... Ugh... 
But Arwen felt worse than I did about it... So, hopefully, the room will be clean when I get back again... 🤞🏻
Let's get to the seated bike and do something good... 
catch you in a bit, when I've managed to write my journal Toot... Which will include a part what I just shared here. 😉
🍀 💜 🐾
I'll include a screenshot of the car that mum and dad are getting. Hopefully altbot can make something good for it...
The image features a black Toyota Auris Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid Executive. The main image shows the car from a front three-quarter angle, highlighting its sleek design, alloy wheels, and the Toyota emblem on the grille. The car has a yellow license plate with the text "9-TV-P-60." Below the main image, there are three smaller images: one of the car's side profile, another of the interior focusing on the steering wheel and dashboard, and a third showing the dashboard with gauges and a digital display. The text "Toyota Auris Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid Executive" is displayed at the bottom of the image.

Theres some revelations available from #Overzealots video on the Sanitisation of our historical icons!
youtube.com/watch?v=VjzzLuRnTM…
As much as you think the current situation is bad, look to what has been done to the icons before and how their value and message has been coerced in the service of the status quo and the class inequality and exploitation afforded by capitalism.
The more you explore and know, the more you see the same treatment of any idea or action towards a resolution of our worlds problems.
If we can understand and respond to this, perhaps there can be a groundswell of people against the current peverse system frog marching us off the edge of a disasterous systemic ideological climate catastrophe cliff!

The video features a small, light-colored kitten with distinct markings on its face and ears, set against a plain white background. Initially, the kitten is seen in a small, blurry image, gradually becoming clearer as the video progresses. The kitten's eyes are wide and expressive, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. As the video continues, the word "hello!" appears in a simple, sans-serif font above the kitten, with a yellow hand emoji waving next to it, adding a friendly and welcoming touch. The kitten's paw is also animated to wave, enhancing the greeting. The video concludes with a bright, abstract explosion of yellow and orange hues, creating a dynamic and cheerful end.

Ein schwarzes, welliges Haarwuchs-Hundebaby liegt auf einem beigen Teppich mit roten Herzen, der auf einem roten Sofa liegt. Das Hundebaby hat ein dunkles, welliges Fell mit einem Hauch von grauem und braunem Fell am Kopf und den Vorderpfoten. Es schläft tief und friedlich, mit dem Kopf auf dem Teppich und den Augen geschlossen. Der Hintergrund zeigt einen Teil des roten Sofas, der die Umgebung des Hundebabys ergänzt.

Das Bild zeigt eine Person, die auf einer Bühne steht und ein glänzendes, halbärmelloses Kleid trägt, das mit kleinen, funkelnden Punkten verziert ist. Das Kleid hat einen hohen Ausschnitt und die Person trägt eine weiße Armbeuge. Sie hat eine kahlköpfige Frisur und trägt eine auffällige Kopfbedeckung mit Perlen oder Edelsteinen. Ihre Hände sind vor ihrem Körper gefaltet, und sie trägt eine Mikrofonanlage am Kinn. Im Hintergrund sind verschwommene Silhouetten von Personen und eine beleuchtete Kulisse zu sehen. Am unteren Bildrand befindet sich ein Textfeld mit der Aufschrift "Malta 3 of 37 countries" und der maltesischen Flagge.
