I got a dog named Koozie and my neighbor Darell is obsessed with him. He sends me texts when he is drunk...

The photographer composed the image meticulosuly to artistically foreshadow the deep emotions by using physical barriers as a frame within a frame, A marvellous inception of frames sharpening the focus into the subject portraying loneliness. 

Thanks for reading the bullshit I just made up.

I love Artspeak, it's the peak of bullshit. Remember those essay questions on tests? The people that were really good at them, grew up to write the description in art gallery brochures.

I remember stumbling into a Robert Ryman exhibit of his minimalist white paintings, with a friend who was an artist. We were amazed at the bullshit descriptions of his paintings, which were nothing but white squares (I will go to my grave convinced he was a fraud) The writer was particularly excited that they were painted on aluminum instead of canvas - MIND-BLOWING! They were still just white squares. That's not art, no matter how many syllables you throw at it.

As my friend said: An artist primes his canvas white, and says, "Okay, I'm ready to start painting." This guy primes his canvas, stands back to look at it, and says "Welp, I'm done!" and cracks a beer.

I kind of made that up, but it seems like that style of language should have a name. I declare it Public Domain, have at it.

I assume he meant the dog, the tone of his texts are not those of someone speaking to their king

Pugs are a perfect representation of how humanity views the Earth.

My wife tries to show me TikTok videos of pugs saying, "Isn't it cute?"

No, it's not cute. Its entire existence is suffering and the breeder needs to be in jail for animal abuse.

What if there was an alien race with a lifespan that was eight times as long as ours, would they be able to breed the human equivalent of pugs?

And if you objectively look at every other animal on the planet and then look at humans... how are we not pugs of our genetic family tree?

Fuckin' humans and our weird ass pointy noses and bulbous heads. We are weird.

I always thought they were a perfect representation of how the Earth viewed humanity.

Poor dog looks extremely overweight. How anyone could see a picture like that and think it's cute and not alarming is beyond me.

Okay, let's start the conversation by clarifying the situation

They are perfectly named. If I'd never seen one, and someone told there was a dog called a Pug, that's pretty much exactly what I'd picture in my mind. Just a fat little sausage.
