RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama. In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself. If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.

Just a reminder to buy all kinds of books for your kids...weird ones, new ones, old ones, debuts etc. That popular series they love is great, and it probably began as a single book which took off. With cool imprints closing, we need to bring in more voices, more ideas, more variety.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

In case you're wondering why AI is pushing so hard into education, that last bullet point is why. Get consumers hooked in young and they're likely to stay. And get embedded enough into classrooms and curriculum and the education system can't function without it - ie permanent consumers.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

4. Call your legislative reps. Urge them to take a stand against book banning and support relevant legislation. 5. SUPPORT REASONABLE CANDIDATES. You can do this with money, signs, four knocking, phone banking, and other volunteer tasks. It matters. We all need skin in the game.
