Reggie Brown's (@reggiebrownart.bsky.social) art in our picture book LITTLE BIG MAN (Scholastic/Orchard Books, 2025) has lots of visual humor as Elijah tries to help with chores.

God i love @propublica.org so much
I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

I wrote this eulogy for the once-great science twitter 2 years ago today for American Scientist magazine.

I'm glad to see some of this community re-establishing at Bluesky.

The songs in Moana 2 are terrible. I wrote about what Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to Disney, and what we’ve lost without him.
After Moana 2, We All Owe Lin-Manuel Miranda an Apology
Without him, every song in the sequel is as flimsy and disposable as the last.

Losing your mind over being blocked could be an entire sociology textbook. It took less than ten years to rewire certain human brains into believing they were entitled to full and constant access to every other person on the planet. A species that, a hundred years ago, would know a hundred people.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
