Why did they call it ‘Pornhub’ when ‘YouLube’ was right there.

The closest I will ever get to being John Wick, is when I point the remote over my shoulder as I’m exiting the room, turn off the tv, and flip the remote onto the couch, without even looking.

Medical studies show that dogs can lower your blood pressure.

So, take two dogs before meals and at bedtime!

NURSE: “Are you sensitive to latex products?”

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.
Morning ritual now is to be an active constituent and call the offices of @repstansbury.bsky.social, @senatorheinrich.bsky.social, and @lujan.senate.gov

Short and sweet: I’m [name, city, zip code] and I would like [Representative/Senator] to [support/oppose] [this thing], thank you.

From the lighter side of teaching. . .
The winter quarter of my UW 3D printing class is breaking new ground in the field of “number of students whose voice is as loud as a sock falling on the ground and who have near-constant questions.”

Note the highly difficult and dangerous paw positioning of right-over-left and left-over-right performed here by a Professional Dog. Do NOT attempt this yourself without canine supervision!
