@FBTroy66 @CreekshitinDaws So good. 😂

@MurrayHillGuy1 One guy looks like he commands the room, the other guy looks like he sits in the corner and doesn’t talk during meetings. I don’t think it’s the “good looking” factor as much as one appears to have stronger executive presence and sometimes that’s what is needed for the job.

@Eric_Erins My full-length BB camel hair coat with mink collar was absolutely obliterated by moths when I pulled it out of storage last month. It was a college graduation present to myself. Was so sad :(

@CynicalPublius The creator literally copied a Kit Kat. So yes, it is 100% a Kit Kat.

@nypost This is like when Brittney spears said she was a virgin, right?

@CC1000228654527 @realDailyWire I doubt he cheats but he probably fantasizes about it all the time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ohpewter @realDailyWire 🙄

@fibsitonlaer @samponder Same! Reading this in bed on 9/12 bawling. I can’t imagine how this mother feels every day. 😭

@RealOxfordComma I like Out Out.

@jstdonut Same. And I can’t even remotely remember where I was during Covid going down ..:

Today, none of the known 9/11 search dogs remain alive. Yet their courage, loyalty and service have never been forgotten. Twenty-five years later, we remember every life lost, every person who ran towards danger—and the remarkable animals who stood faithfully beside them.

@MechaMyers @that_darn I didn’t need to cry in bed tonight. Today was hard enough. Thank you for letting us all continue to remember that day. May we never forget as each day passes. (And yes I’ve heard this story 15 times today but it will hurt every time forward)

@tanyaelisabethh Jesus Christ. I suddenly understand the trans man movement. I want out of being associated with these batshit crazy ladies. Dang. Just…yikes and horrible

The Dog Who Wouldn't Stop Searching On September 11, 2001, Apollo disappeared into a hole in the rubble at Ground Zero. Then a fireball erupted. Seconds later, the German Shepherd came running back toward his handler, NYPD Officer Peter Davis. Apollo was on fire. Davis brushed the burning embers from his thick coat. And Apollo went right back to searching. Apollo was nine years old—an age when many police dogs had already retired. But that morning, he and Davis became the first canine search-and-rescue team to arrive at Ground Zero. The conditions were brutal. To reach the rubble, Davis later recalled wading through water that came nearly to his waist. Apollo searched across jagged concrete and dangerously hot debris. His coat was singed. His paws became cracked and bruised. Still, he searched. Apollo had been trained to find the living. But as the hours passed, the terrible reality of the site became clearer. Eventually, Davis had to physically pull Apollo away from the debris when the dog refused to stop looking. And Apollo wasn't alone. Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers worked through wreckage, dust and toxic fumes in the aftermath of the attacks. Apollo became a symbol of all of them. On March 5, 2002, he was awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal for courage and devotion to duty. Apollo had been selected by ballot to receive the honor on behalf of every search-and-rescue dog that had worked at the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Apollo lived to be 14. Twenty-five years later, we remember the people who ran toward danger that morning. Apollo reminds us that not all of them ran on two legs. ❤️🐾

More than 300 dogs helped search for survivors on 9/11. In fact, the last person rescued at ground zero was found by a search and rescue dog. The search was mentally and physically taxing on the dogs, who walked across huge piles of debris and smoldering rubble. As the days went by, dogs became sad when they were no longer finding people alive. So, to keep their spirits up, their handlers staged mock rescues. They would have people hide under debris for dogs to find. This boosted the dogs’ morale as they continued their work. In addition to rescue dogs, therapy dogs were brought to the scene to provide comfort to emotionally drained and traumatized police officers and firefighters. Dogs are the best thing in the world and we do not deserve them.

@selinamooks @oops_judy @LangmanVince Did they die? Then you fuck out of the comment thread. If you had relatives/friends who died you WOULD be offended by this. Bot.

I was 20. And it was my boyfriend’s 20th birthday that day. I was in college in NY on on AIM when my friend IMd me and told me to turn on my TV “RIGHT NOW”. I watched the second plane hit and walked to my 10am class a zombie as I watched those leaving their 8-10am classes with smiles - completely oblivious of what happened. Class was cancelled the rest of the day. Someone in my hometown lost a son in one plane and another son in the other tower. I’m forever haunted by these losses. 😢
