My puppy will chew/suck on a stuffed animal like a pacifier to fall asleep. I've never had a dog that does anything other than tear them up. Is my baby broken, or is she just super cute?

Imagine if the American state media reported on the staggering number of deaths from corrupt health insurance executives denying people coverage the same way they’re reporting on the assassination of one health insurance CEO.

If you live in earthquake country, I highly recommend installing the Myshake app. We just had a little quake is SF and I got an alert about 10 seconds before it hit. It's pretty cool that our tech has come this far!
