This is Dave. He has a smile that could light up a room. Only smiling with his bottom teeth right now so he doesn't blind you. 13/10 very considerate #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: jeffreybergstedt)

a close-up photo of a white dog, named Dave, staring into the camera with his mouth slightly open. there reveals approximately five teeth shining brightly.

our final photo of Dave who is no longer looking into the camera, but is now happily leaning his head back with his eyes closed.

another close-up photo of Dave staring into the camera, but this time his tongue is covering his prized pearly whites.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

Eastern Australian humpback whale population now well above pre-whaling levels, report finds - ABC News 🦑🧪🌎

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there's 50,000 of them

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Anemos Greek Restaurant, on Charlotte Street - blast from the past. We used to go there when I first lived in London - lots of plate smashing and dancing on tables. The food was secondary, as I recall.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

As you probably know, that's how Lee Child got his character Jack Reacher - as LC is very tall, his wife joked he could get a job as a "reacher" in a supermarket, getting things off high shelves for people, if his writing career didn't work out.
