A dog and his shark.
I didn't let him take it on a walk.

A golden dog flopped on top of a shark stuffy that is as big as he is.

Generational talent.

Oh gods, try again - today was a miserable washing machine of chaos.

That being said, what I love about the work is that there is always a chance to make something right. Maybe not every single day, but at least once a week.

And! Do not be discouraged. There is always tomorrow.

Pitties are the sweetest things but man, I would love to be able to bring a taser for owners at the dog park sometimes.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

That's probably because that's where the magical law wizard power got deposited in this era.

I was trying to figure out how to make it more silly. It's certainly *way* more enjoyable than current status!

Congress but for one single vote: all beaches are federal. No private beaches ever again.
It's not that useful, it's mostly? ridiculous, it is boring but look at all this beach we can use!

Seen tonight in the city.
Never as true as now.

A sign of Portland is what we make it on a blue sky with clouds and roses.

It's not a reference to the 2020 protests, if that puts it in more context.

Well now I want this too and all it's going to take is planning

Time for this one again.

Lest you think the City of Roses is perfect in all ways, it is 40f and raining this morning.
So like, iconic Portland weather (derogatory).

The attack on Portland was supposed to make the place look like a lawless hellhole. Instead, the authorities have succeeded in making it look like the most fun city in the world.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

This is exactly how I described it. "The characters are the everyday conversations you hear out in public."

We call that "the dog looks like pebble ice" and if you've never had a husky, this makes no sense.

It's been planned all week and today was like the most iconic Portland weather (derogatory).

Smoked lamb chop, goat cheese mashed potatoes, red wine + serrano jus.
Extremely helpful dog.
