Famous clairvoyante[...] with a wicked pack of cards. Reasonably erudite, I guess. (Expect to find: books, dogs [mine, specifically], movies, New York, sports, transit takes)

Even Netflix's merger letters have bad taste

Also it really should be "properties," not "franchises" in the second sentence
We recently announced that Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO. This unites our leading entertainment service with Warner Bros.’ iconic stories, bringing some of the world’s most beloved franchises like Harry Potter, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Casablanca, Game of Thrones and the DC Universe together with Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, Bridgerton and KPop Demon Hunters.

A little black and white dog is photographed mid-bark. Her head is tipped back so her ears are flapping, and her tail is a motion blur from wagging.

I wonder sometimes how a dude whose credits are proof of interesting taste spent half a decade in a relationship with the most blandly commercial pop star on the planet. Like what did they talk about??? (from: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...)
Agnes finds some comfort from her supportive brother Bartholomew (Joe Alwyn) and, in time, her mother-in-law, Mary (Emily Watson), who initially disapproves of Agnes but comes around to a grudging respect, rooted in shared experiences of drudgery and loss.

A little dog is curled up next to my legs. She's using my thigh as a pillow and looks sleepy and relaxed. There are lots of throw pillows and blankets, so it's very cozy.

Apropos of the emails that are like "fwd: fwd: fwd: re: crime time this friday at your mansion"
Michael Pemulis is nobody's fool, and he fears the dealer's Brutus, the potential eater of cheese, the rat, the wiretap, the pubescent-looking Finest sent to make him look foolish. So when somebody calls his room's phone, even on video, and wants to buy some sort of substance, they have to right off the bat utter the words 'Please commit a crime,' and Michael Pemulis will reply 'Gracious me and mine, a crime you say?' and the customer has to insist, right over the phone, and say he'll pay Michael Pemulis money to commit a crime, or like that he'll harm Michael Pemulis in some way if he refuses to commit a crime, and Michael Pemulis will in a clear and I.D.able voice make an appointment to see the caller in person to 'plead for my honor and personal safety,' so that if anybody eats cheese later or the phone's frequency is covertly accessed, somehow, Pemulis will have been entrapped.

Good news: it's cold enough that the dog will go under blankets
My little black and white dog is curled up next to me on the couch. Her entire body is under a green and white blanket, so only her head shows

On the one hand, this dog allegedly has too much dignity to wear a Halloween costume (on the other, she has a documented history of eating literal trash)
A little black and white dog is laying on the couch. She has one foreleg extended and the other tucked under her body, and it looks a bit like she's crossing her arms. Her head is held high.

Insane that this literal baby is a teenager
A little black and white dog is curled up between two throw pillows. She has knocked one over so she can rest her chin on it.

Baby gremlin
A little black and white dog has mashed her face into a throw pillow. She's wearing a blue fleece, which covers most of her body, and she has little bows on her ears.
