@getmoresmarter.com Is it a known issue that most of your episodes have moments where the audio tracks are obviously shifted? Ex: Around the 30m mark of the latest. overcast.fm/+AATX6MLDWXc...
Dear @hankgreen.bsky.social & @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social
Please enthusiastically sign me up for the Cock Blarnet tee (and stickers would also be sweet).

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media, but I'm teaching it anyway.
All thanks to people power and community support-- especially from you all on Bluesky!
Happy to announce I'll be teaching Race Media and International Affairs 101 online-- hosted by D.C.'s MLK Jr. Memorial Library!
You could certainly say it’s my own fault, but Bluesky is the doomiest of scrolls.
I’ve seen enough YouTube videos: Kelly Clarkson is our most perfect singer.
A podcast called “Raging Moderates” had Kellyanne Conway on and she immediately went into “Trump’s documents were nothing but Biden had docs where his druggie son could get them!” and nobody said anything.

~ I can’t even play solitaire without my readers
stage of my decrepitude.
So now phone time is mostly glasses time. It’s almost reducing my screen time.
val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning
My suburban house is perfect except I can’t walk to anything worthwhile and people street race on my most adjacent main road. Otherwise I dig the quiet life.

For a long time, I've been trying to get my head around David Lynch's strange blend of avant-garde art with conservative politics and sensibilities. (Conservative in Nietzsche's sense, or Ralph Ellison's, not Trump's.) A new essay/column from me in Jeff Bezos's Washington Post:
