Dogs are my favorite.
This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

“Welcome in” is the latest linguistic phenomenon I’ve noticed. I hear it every time I enter a store or cafe, and just now I heard it from a news commentator for the first time (CBS news).

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

So pleased by the huge turnout at Saturday’s protest in Salt Lake City! It was encouraging to know that 10,000 people cared enough to show up.
