You mean in addition to soaring oil prices?
A few of my favorite FB reels that lighten my mood in these dark days....
Patrick J. Abdo: A Dubai drummer who teaches little kids how to drum and always acts surprised when they do great. Best song: Begging by Maneskin (Drum Cover).
Wildwildwilli: 3 cute long-haired dachsunds
ccihancelik: A Turkish farmer who often shows you what his typical day is like, with one really cute donkey he likes to share his food with.
Oga Duke: Nigerian pet parent with a schnauzer who listens intently to whatever he says.
My Horse Willow: A girl and her high-spirited horses
Hotrod552: A miniature schnauzer who loves to race while his owner clocks his speed, sporting a new outfit in each reel gifted by his many fans. Ready...set...go! His owner tries to test his vodabulary to see if he'll take off when he says words that sound like "go," like gopher, gorgonzola, gone and so on but he has never slipped up.
Laura Ramos: I haven't watched her lately, but she's a comedian best know for her rendition of a snarky French flight attendant.
I also watch a lot of music and dance videos, and those where someone gets a haircut and it transforms them.
Watching the elephants at Sheldrick Land Trust in Kenya led me to my adopting a baby elephant.

If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt it), we are listening to a live singing for the first time in three centuries:

I've been watching Cocodoodle on Facebook. It's AI, but it's cute and refreshing considering what else is going on in the world.
