Sunday Overnight Open Thread - September 14, 2025 [Doof]
Welcome to the Sunday ONT. So glad you chose to stop by and end your week here. Open thread as always. Feel free to talk about whatever is on your mind. As far as content, tonight will be mostly fun and wholesome stuff. Feels like we need that! Hopefully the comment boxes will also feature some fun and wholesome things.
Some traditions are too precious not to share—like this one between a dad in Norway and his 14-year-old dog, Ruby.
A series of wholesome photos recently went viral on Reddit after the man’s daughter posted about their daily breakfast ritual.
“Every morning, Ruby (14), sits at the breakfast table with my dad (75), who makes sandwiches for her,” she wrote.
***
The daughter explained that the two have followed the exact same routine for years: same time, same spots at the table, and always the same sandwiches.
***
The photos capture more than just a meal—they show a bond that has only grown stronger over time.
It’s proof that the little things—like breakfast with your best friend—are what make life truly special.
The twin sisters woke up and started chatting loudly. But they pretended to be asleep as soon as they heard their mother's footsteps 😂 pic.twitter.com/FWU7WFSlPt
It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit.

Our hearts break for the Kirk family in this unimaginable loss. The vision of Charlie’s father collapsing and begging for his son back is beyond painful. Erika, a devoted wife and mother, is facing the deepest grief while holding her young family together. Erika describing her 3-year-old daughter running into her arms, asking "Where's Daddy?"—and Erika, through tears saying , "Baby, daddy loves you so much. He's on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget” shattered me. It still shatters me.
While we are seeing the worst of humanity, we are also seeing a faithful spirit movement, a global revival the likes I never thought I would witness. God is very, very good. In honor of the fearlessness in which Charlie Kirk spoke the Gospel, please join me in praying for his parents, his wife, and their little ones that they may find peace and healing by carrying Charlie’s light forward.
‘Ette Couture in its regular form will return next week with a special edition AOSHQ Retro Feature.

Thanks, Piper.
On the subject of Charlie Kirk, here are 2 videos worth checking out.
I'm just leaving the Charlie Kirk vigil in Philly. And let me tell you, I'm now knowing that the Republican Party is full of the most inclusive people
