Enjoyed this! Though I was surprised at the perceived overlap between folks who want to defund the police and those who support the ongoing gutting of our administrative state. Those are facially similar calls being made by very different people with very different policy perspectives.

Photo of 5 dog figurines in profile facing to the left in a staggered line. The closest one is reddish, the three in the middle are beige, and the furthest is dark grey. Each one has a cuneiform inscription on their side.
For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.
