Almost every day, someone points at my Yorkie mix and asks his age and I say nine, and they go, “What?? But he’s so little!” and I’ve legitimately become curious if everyone knows how small dogs work. 👀

JD Vance was one of the last leaders to meet with Pope Francis One of Pope Francis’ final encounters before his death was with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who visited the Vatican over the weekend.

Have we ruled out that JD Vance is an energy vampire?

Vance goes after NYC mayor hopeful Mamdani for not showing ‘gratitude’ to the US ‘I don’t know the guy but my sense is that he has had a very good life in this country,’ said Vance on Zohran Mamdani

This is his signature move now? Vance on climate change: “The bees should show more gratitude that a few still live in the United States.”

I passed a white-haired couple on the street, and she referred to her husband as Dickhead. They were quite warm and genial with one another. She was just like “Come on, Dickhead, let’s go home” as if that were his name — Dickhead.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but if your child constantly requests “Mr. Roboto” by Styx in the car, it’s okay to go around singing, “Secret, secret. I’ve got a secret.”
