I’ve seen a lot of people posting about Dan’s obsession with bootleg shirts. As his yoga teacher as well as his friend, I also got to see Dan wear many of these shirts (as well as his beloved Penn Relays shirt collection) to the studio, where he was happy to have a conversation about them anytime.

From 2005-2011, I first wrote for, and then edited, a blog that covered news and events in and around Philadelphia.

That alone gives me more journalism experience than the EIC of CBS News.

I think my favorite part of parenting in December is paying for two full weeks of daycare when they’re only going to be open for 3.5 days.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

One of my most frequent rants is how you can draw a straight line from the premature termination of Reconstruction to where we are today.

Previous years: spend weeks on making my countdown list, try my best to game the rankings, hit maybe 60% on the #xpncountdown. This year: make five different lists, all with different combinations of songs, choose one based on vibes alone, hit 100%.

I think Yes’s cover of “America” might actually last longer than it takes to hitchhike to Saginaw Island. #xpncountdown

Stevie Wonder’s cover of “We Can Work It Out” does everything a cover song is supposed to do. This is a well-deserved top-100 placement. #xpncountdown

Whoops. Fumbled the phone and accidentally hit post before adding #xpncountdown
Does anyone else remember the “Bedazzled” remake? Does anyone else think of it when they hear this version of “Hotel California”?

Getting pretty cocky over here, even if I think “Torn” was at least 50 slots too low. #xpncountdown

I think @kallao.bsky.social has gotten the best #xpncountdown shift by far. Not even a competition.

I need to make a phone call, so this would be a great time for another long Dead/Phish jam I can completely tune out. #xpncountdown
