The thing about social media is that when you open an app and see good news, you should repost it, stop scrolling, and close your browser. Don't keep putting money in the slot machine once you've won the jackpot. Take your cute dog photos and go before you get 5 more planes falling out of the sky.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Apparently Warner Bros. is just straight-up posting old movies on their YouTube channel now. All within the last three weeks. There are 22 of them. Some stone-cold classics like Waiting for Guffman are in the mix, but most are DVD bargain bin fare. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Government is not a business. It’s a set of services. Redundancies in services save lives. Taxes pay for services. How is any of this hard to grasp?

Instead of directly correcting false claims, “bypassing” offers an alternative strategy: focus on positive, truthful statements about the same topic. New research suggests it can be very effective and I cover it in more detail here! substack.com/home/post/p-... #MisinfoResearch

One of the absolute greats. It seemed like he would live forever — and in a lot of ways, he absolutely will.

He had an amazing life, so obviously, let's dwell on that and not this, but I won't front, I am kind of wrecked that the last call he ever made was that despondent farewell to the Brewers' season in the Wild Card round. www.mlb.com/brewers/news...

Like so many others, I've been deeply reliant on Watch Duty the last few days, a nonprofit fire wildfire tracking service. I made a donation to their work, because I have no doubt that it has literally saved lives this week. app.watchduty.org
