Beating "12" for the top Google result for"4x3" is possibly the greatest achievement of my life.

My brain this morning.

What I’ve learned from the trolley problem is that people getting hit by trolleys must have been a pretty big problem back in the day.

Things my son said yesterday: “nothing’s more American than cheeseburgers!” “nothings more American than fire!” “nothings more American than guns!” and, during fireworks, “why do I like this so much?”

Platner’s “AITA” Reddit post is gonna go so hard.

Just remembered that, as I was boarding my flight home, the flight attendant looked at me and said, "Tom Hanks??" and I was like "Mmmm..." and she was like, "No..." and then I said, and I quote, "No, you're right, Tom Hanks, from the volleyball movie."

Oh hell yeah

Huge shoutout to everbody at OpenSauce who play tested my new game yesterday and were like "Hank, wow...this sucks so much..."

I wonder this all the time. I think causes of prehistoric human depression was probably pretty similar to ours. Grief, alienation, loss of social connection, rejection (real and imagined), food insecurity, status anxiety, physical pain, disability, loss of agency, brain chemistry.

OK everybody...still working out some kinks but...

Hard to convey how proud I am of the fact that my child just walked up to me and said "What dimension of shape farts the most?"

One thing I think is that fun little word games should just fuck with you sometimes.

Did not know about this rule @hankgreen.bsky.social

Aside from the Big Bang, what is the most important thing that has ever happened?

4x3 is still fun for me!! (for now….)

Wanna hear me cry like a little baby about science communication? Check out the most recent episode of Humans with the legend, Jad Abumrad. (humanswithhank.com)

We are much weirder than we think we are.

But the things that are different are the most interesting. Belonging would be very strong (except in cases of ostracism, which were fairly common and often fatal). Would there have been the same feelings of being stuck? Did people have more acceptance given a world without as much inequality?

And then also, there’s the details around the phenomenon. Losing interest in everything and feeling worthless is broad, but the cultural understanding we’ve built around depression is big and complex and there’s a lot of divergence from society to society.

Choosing to believe that John did this on purpose.

I made no such promises.
