For Baltimore Fishbowl, I interviewed @lydiakang.bsky.social about her latest book, PSEUDOSCIENCE. The book is amusing, for sure, but it's also a reminder of what the true scientific method is and why it matters. Lydia will be speaking at RPCS on March 26. baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/can-...

Dear @vanhollen.senate.gov:
During my time as a Fulbright Scholar in Poland, the dictator Putin invaded Ukraine. News since-Bucha war crimes, kidnapping children, murdering Navalny-underscore Putin's status as a pariah. That my government now coos at him makes my skin crawl.
Please support Ukraine.

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.
You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

It’s a little more difficult to find an audience now that I’m off Substack, so could you share with friends who like books and shit-talking?
New newsletter is up in which I namecheck Lara Flynn Boyle and Billy Baldwin, among other things. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...
