So the episode “pull list” from Side Quest / Mythic Quest deserves to double spin off into its own Apple TV+ show. The dramady, the comic book store setting, the quality of cast of characters. Apple, this was too good. Make it happen! #appletv #mythicquest #sidequest

Pope Leo in 2012: "I don’t think that turning away from the media would be the answer." The answer: teach people to become critical thinkers and "understand that not everything you hear or everything you read should be taken at face value." #medialit nytimes.com/2025/05/15/wor…

Yes, I said: "Cellphone policies should be tailored to each school and be built by the community. When these decisions are made “with community input, through a community-based process, that’s local education at its very finest." #cellphoneschools csmonitor.com/USA/Education/…
