Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
Dear god let this man cook.

A black dog sleeps on the floor, one of his paws extended from his side like a fish’s flipper.
Speaking with Jacques-Yves Cousteau accent:
“Zee’ ancient aquateec’ mutt-asaur deployed hees’ powerful fleepaars’ to propel heem’ toward hees’ primordial din-dins. . .”
Try adding, “AND tonic!!!”

Ten-year-old granddaughter visiting us and her "furry brother" set up this pose. Wants it captioned:
"He was fast. But not fast enough."
Silly Photoshopped image shows an open hand holding two ultra miniaturized dogs the size of pills.
Medical studies show that dogs can lower your blood pressure.
So, take two dogs before meals and at bedtime!
Yeeeaah, I used to have one a’ these. Well, three, actually. . .
Fun column, Mark!
Me in doctor’s exam room:
NURSE: “Are you sensitive to latex products?”
ME: “Well, I’m sympathetic to how they’ve suffered…“
NURSE: (Creepily quiet)

Calling is easy, because you don’t need to make any sort of speech.
Just make clear you support or oppose a particular act.
No need to get emotionally riled up or to write up a short speech. Just call.
Me: “When are you gonna put me in one of your art works?”
My wife: “I just did.”
The art work…

Panel 1 Gwen and Polly enter the front door and are greeted by Penelope, Polly's mom. Polly: I'M HOME! We're going to study. Penelope: Welcome home! Panel 2 Penelope gives Polly a big hug. Polly feels awkward about these hugs but also appreciates them. Penelope: I'll let you know when dinner is ready. I love you. Panel 3 Gwen and Polly are now in Polly's room and and are getting their books out of their bags. Gwen is in a cheerful mood. Gwen: Your mom is great. My parents never do that. Polly: Mom is a big hugger. It's kind of embarrassing. Panel 4 Gwen: I meant they never say "I love you." Polly: oh.
