A person going about their day:
Shop for a new tie.
Make macaroni.
Do cardio.
Don't let the existential dread set in.
Don't let it set in.
Vacuum the rug.

SHE IS THE MESSIAH!

Both the dogs are lovely. Audrey looks so much like my dog Cookie - a black lab border collie cross who passed a few years ago.

Have to say I disagree with the article - the global economy is definitely showing signs of ending.
Excerpt from the RNZ article:

The government told media it remained gravely concerned about the trajectory of the Middle East conflict and its impact on the global economy, which shows no signs of ending.

That sweet dog is the spitting image of my wonderful Cookie, who passed away nearly four years ago. The cancer that claimed Cookie first took her leg, but she still loved to swim and run at the park ❤️ She never was well behaved at the vet though 😂

He'd have a dildo thrown at him at the very least.

Matt Bors said it best
The comic by Matt Bors where a medieval peasant says "We should improve society somewhat" and a modern person pops up from a well and replies, "Yet you participate in society! Curious! I am very intelligent."

Anyone else think Trump's NEC Director Kevin Hassett gives off serious Colin Robinson vibes? Is he an energy vampire?
On the left of the picture is a still of Kevin Hassett, NEC Director, taken during a midday briefing at the Whitehouse. On the right is the character Colin Robinson from the TV show What We Do In The Shadows, played by actor Mark Proksch. Aside from Hassett having more hair, the similarities are eerie.
