Especially great episode of The Slowdown today, which has gotten notably better over the past few months. I really enjoy Major Jackson as host.

851: I Was Wrong About So Much https://one.npr.org/i/1168601197:1168601199
One single tiny stiff doggo hair was the reason my s key wasn't working.
When I was a dog-walker, I used to get stabby little French bull dog hairs in my bra all the time (HOW? WHY?), & I vowed that I would not adopt a dog with such stiff, stabby hairs as the ones Piper & Sherman, my weekly Friday overnight dogs, shed directly into my bra (HOW? WHY?) all the time.
Then I saw my dog's face on the rescue website & I immediately knew my life would be sharp little needle hairs forever.

Today when I told him not to bark at the furnace repair person in the basement, my dog audibly scoffed at me, because he is in fact a tiny, highly opinionated, goblin-like human being.
