I have a chapter about the regulation of misinformation in a forthcoming book. The big question, unanswerable, is what to do when governments and social media companies both use and support misinformation as part of their very essence.

Scholastic sent me a whole box of paperback copies of Sorcerer’s Stone that I sure didn't order. When I asked why, my rep told me they're sending complimentary giveaway copies to random schools that do Book Fair.

Goaltending hasn’t been the fundamental difference in this game. Look at the number of looks the Caps have gotten in front of the Pens net vs what the Pens have gotten. The Caps defensive structure has kept the Pens out of the middle for a while.

Two poor plays at the blue line by TVR tonight. If you can’t play that clean or smother it in the zone you need to retreat

Last time Pitt WVB lost a home match was the day I was discharged from the hospital after my bone marrow transplant.

All of the goals allowed by the Pens tonight are due to mind numbingly dumb defensive plays. They’re playing like ass but even within that all of those gaffes are correctable. It’s not like Warshington is forcing them into these plays.

Pens should challenge that for offsides on their own end.

Curious George experimenting with ether:
1. George was very curious
2. It smelled funny!
3. Suddenly his head began to turn
4. Then he felt as if he were flying 
5. Then rings and stars danced before his eyes,
6. Then everything went dark...Curious George blissfully passed out on the floor next to an open jar of ether

I often think about how, if Immanuel Kant had been alive today, he would have tweeted out his entire Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals post by post on social media, but you wouldn't be able to follow it all because sometimes he'd retweet things like this in between
