🏠 Real estate therapy: Browsing Zillow is the new way to manage stress (paywall link). Some folks look at homes within their budget, imagining what could be. Others browse properties worse than their current digs to feel grateful. I have my old homes and rentals saved so I get alerts when they change hands. It’s fun to track!

Just imagine asking your optometrist to add night vision to your prescription lenses. Sign me up!
🌟 Celeb appreciation: Morgan Freeman thanked fans on X for exposing a TikTokker using AI to mimic his voice. The woman pretending to be his “nepo niece” (a relative who benefits from someone’s fame) used fake Morgan to narrate her day-in-the-life video. The clip pulled in hundreds of thousands of likes. Crazy.
From Mercedes, with a chunk of that going toward “high-tech combustion technology.” Yep, gas cars. Audi, Porsche and Toyota are hitting the brakes (sorry) on EVs, too. They’re not stopping development, though — just pouring less money into it.
