I met the Internet’s most famous disabled puppies and promptly died of cuteness.
Fat white brunette holds a tiny bulldog puppy with braces on his legs and his tongue protruding in a permanent blep. The fat white brunette grins as she is licked by a one-legged miniature dachshund. The world’s tiniest Yorkie in a bag with two other puppies. All three puppies in the bag.

I love ghost stories, and I love history. So Irving Finkel’s The First Ghosts is hitting a sweet spot for me.
Detail of a Mesopotamian relief sculpture of a spooky lady with big titties and eagles talons for feet next to a big old skull and an owl. The detail is set against a white background with black text: “IRVING FINKEL THE FIRST GHOSTS”

Al Pacino says in his memoir that after he went bankrupt, Diane Keaton gloriously went off on his entertainment lawyer. “Yeah, you’re going to tell me, ‘Oh, he’s an artist.’ No. He. Is. An idiot.”
“Arthur began to explain that I was insolvent, due to mismanagement of my assets. He didn’t play a part in it, I know that. But the words just washed right over me. Diane, however, was furious. She got up from her seat, and she started to question him: “How could this happen?” He was hemming and hawing, well, you know, this and that. She just exploded. She went up to Arthur and was now face-to-face with him. She backed him into a corner of his office, pointed at me, and said, “Do you know who he is?” He said, “Well, you know.” She was practically grabbing him by the lapels: “No, tell me who he is.” He started to speak, but Diane jumped in again: “Yeah, you’re going to tell me, ‘Oh, he’s an artist.’ No. He. Is. An idiot.” I just stood there. What could I say? Diane went on: “He’s an ignoramus. When it comes to this, you’ve got to take care of him.”

Sometimes you keep little knick-knacks around because they’re neat.

My girlfriend’s dog is about to meet a dame with a transatlantic accent and ambiguous motives who’s got an old family secret to share.
