No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Good news though, the two youngest Jack Russels have hit four years old and they’re starting to show signs of slowing down.

This is a poodoodle. A cross between a poodle and … another poodle.

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Can we call it militant decency in honor of Sir Terry Pratchett? He didn’t invent the concept but he did cause the phrase to be coined. And radical doesn’t sound as welcoming as militant.

Dear DoorDash: you are not Netflix. Stop with the 90 categories before I get to the list of open restaurants. If I want to narrow things down I'll use your filters.

Also: make better filters.

Oh here's a weird one, just so you're aware: I tried to register for them earlier and they rejected my (20 year old) email address, I suspect because it had a custom domain. Or maybe it was because it was repetitive (kirabug at kirabug.com) -- anyway, a heads up that you have more fans!

Peony the vulture tells Charlie and Leo: "Definitely. Look at those classical doric features!" and points offscreen. Charlie and Leo both turn to look, Charlie with a smile on her face, Leo with a frown.

It's comic time! Come learn about...ancient architecture...from a...vulture.

Look, I don't know where it comes from, I just write it down.

#Tariffs are back in the news, so here is our free printable explainer #comic which covers:

- "What are tariffs?"
- "Why are tariffs going into effect now?"
- "What might happen when they do?"
- "Seriously?"

The dogs haven’t gone out.
