Conan O'Brien's brief speech about (and with) Mark Twain should be taught in every American HS English class. Comedy acknowledges absurdity and glorious mess of being human. Keep on rocking in the free world!

The relationship between authors and audiences is so important. Critical consuming leads to innovation and creative work. It's another reason why media literacy is important for school, work, and citizenship. Thx

As a horrific mass shooting unfolds at FSU, a reminder that Florida:

Does not regulate assault weapons
Does not limit magazine capacity
