we’re just a bit more repressed I think

They can sing though

it’s not a musical, it’s a documentary about Jeff Goldblum’s family life

people go on about him sometimes but I still don’t think I’ve seen him in anything.
I like Jeff Bridges though, that’s the only acting Jeff I know

The dog is actually making those noises. It’s actually quite sad when you watch him doing it without the fun musical accompaniment. I think that poor Walter has quite severe detachment anxiety 
I got really bummed out when I had a little thought experiment that dogs are really constantly miserable and distressed around people but can’t express it.
My brother’s lab puppy seems really chill though

Nah, they’re usually very happy and love life. I do hate to think about dogs that don’t like being left alone though, it’s dead sad.
Good infinite monkey cage podcast on the human voice, apparently chimps have the physiological capacity to talk but don’t, I reckon the chimps made a wise decision
my neighbour’s dog used to howl all day long when they went out. Hours on end.
Not heard it for ages though, perhaps it’s passed away or something
