I once met a man who claimed to be one of the 5 great Roman emperors. Personally, I thought he had a lot of Nerva.

Just learned that my book, The Secrets of Grimoire Manor, has placed 2nd in the Horror category of the 2025 National Excellence in Story Telling (NEST) Contest. First time one of my books has won an award!

I am honored to have received the Hand Award for Distinguished Faculty Achievement in Research, Creativity or Professional Activity from @stetsonu.bsky.social. I appreciate the kind thought of my colleagues and continue to be grateful to work at this fine university from which I once graduated.

Fantastic news. The dropping teen suicide rate continues to hold. Note: this drop occurred without any policy initiatives in place yet for social media/cellphone bans/etc.

In my essay today, I take a look at that recent meta-analysis (actually from 2018) suggesting that reading physical books is better than digital. But did that meta present convincing evidence? And if not, what does that mean for social science more widely? open.substack.com/pub/grimoire...

We might wonder...well what about electronic bullying specifically? Surely that's gone up? Nope...stayed static during the social media age.

One common rational for cellphone bans in school is that phones promote bullying, and banning them would improve this. But NCES data suggest bullying decreased during the social media age (even when bullying by social media is factored in in latter years).
