DC friends, my beloved dog is missing. One of my kids let her out yesterday into a completely fenced in backyard and somehow she is gone. This is Bella Marie. She is 5 years old, last seen at 13th and Ingraham St. NW. If you see a dog matching her description, pls let me know.

Husband: I never mentioned the color. 🧐

And this, kids, is why we don’t talk to the police without a lawyer present 🤣

'Without quite thinking it through, the US in effect outsourced manufacturing of the most advanced semiconductors to an island claimed by China. What could possibly go wrong?'

Indeed.
