It’s me! I got the ball rolling a year ago. Tim McCoy was instrumental and Allison McGraw helped. We got two asteroids named, thanks to discoverer Bobby Bus: (14330) Tomlehrer and (14331) Alyankovic. Two of my musical heroes, as you can tell from the citations I wrote.

A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge New York City’s separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

In the last years of his life, as his dementia got worse, my dad concocted increasingly complicated & outlandish stories of having been shot in Korea (he was drafted but worked as accountant at Seoul HQ), clearly influenced by war films. No doubt Trump actually believes this shit. But Biden was old.

Article states that they are chosen based on " follower counts, growth, engagement rates, and our own editorial judgement" What are these people influencing others to do, besides click the Like button on instagram?
