Time to bring back my favorite word game

In @newyorker.com this week.

Which has more aural space in it: dub or baseball on the radio?

When the New Yorker published this cartoon of mine in 2017 it was almost funny. Now it’s terrifying.

Trump delivers a pièce de résistance in defense of the English language. Bravo! | Opinion For the first time in our history, an American president has declared by executive order that English is the official language in the United States.

Just walked by woman on phone saying “just put vodka in a spray bottle and that will solve the problem” and I can’t stop thinking about what that problem may have been
