Gregg Easterbrook

Trump just called for a big commitment to U.S. shipbuilding. Yet another instance of ripped-from-the-pages-of-today’s-headlines for my 2021 book THE BLUE AGE.

@SalSports sal you did a fine job!

For the last 12 years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be the sideline reporter on the Buffalo Bills Radio Network via WGR/Audacy. As many of you know, there will be a change. While I won’t be serving in that role moving forward, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity I’ve had over those years to cover this team from such a unique perspective on game day. To everyone in the Bills organization, and my radio colleagues - I’ll miss being with you on the field and in the booth, but thankful for the long-lasting friendships and relationships we’ve built. To you, Bills fans and listeners everywhere - I can’t thank you all enough for the love, support, and trust you always place in me. It’s never something I take for granted, and it will continue to motivate me moving forward! With that said, I’m excited to keep doing what I love and where I love doing it - covering the Buffalo Bills every day on WGR, and continuing to bring you the news, insight, and stories surrounding the team, alongside an amazing team at WGR and Audacy! I’ll still be at every game, home and away, and can’t wait to see and talk to so many of you once again this season! Thank you for the love. ❤️💙

1/3 Tariffs, wars, blockades – why doesn’t the global economy collapse?

@fordprefect71 @sschwankert @VanityFair still is!

@sschwankert @EasterbrookG @VanityFair Took me a couple of hrs but reading TMQ was a highlight of the week back then.

@profjanney actual definition of 930 -- all players maintain a D- on average

@EasterbrookG A 930: so they can read the name of the bowl sponsor? Duke's Mayo, Cheez-its, Pop-Tarts?

Big college football schools with losing records will be allowed to go to bowl games but only if their Academic Progress Rate is above 930. espn.com/college-footba… There is only one big college in the country that ISN’T above this bogus ranking collegefootballnews.com/college-footba…

@sschwankert @VanityFair thanks for remembering!

I miss “The Professor” John Clayton. That may be random but let’s give him some love. Guy was a total pro.

@simonmaechling I want to market a product whose label says, MADE WITH ELEMENTS FROM NATURE'S OWN PERIODIC TABLE

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. It’s called chemophobia. And it’s turning scientifically illiterate panic into a personality trait. People are now terrified of: • “artificial chemicals” • molecules made in a lab • pesticides at parts-per-billion • ingredients they can’t pronounce Meanwhile they drink alcohol, inhale smoke, burn fuel, eat plant toxins and scroll on phones built entirely by chemistry. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Chemistry is not some dark force attacking humanity. Chemistry is: • medicine • fertilizers • vaccines • materials • electronics • clean water • food preservation • modern agriculture • literally your own body Without chemistry, modern civilization collapses frighteningly fast. And yet social media has convinced millions of people that “chemical-free” is a meaningful scientific concept. It isn’t. And when fear replaces chemistry, people stop trusting: • vaccines
• medicines
• food safety
• crop protection
• innovation itself A scientifically illiterate society becomes easy to manipulate. So yes - I will keep defending chemistry. Because chemistry is not the enemy. Chemistry is the reason most of us are alive long enough to complain about it.

@DustinNickerson one of best quotes ever, from Mark Twain: "When I was 16, I thought my father didn't know anything. By the time I was 30, I was amazed how much the old guy had learned."

Raising teens is fun if you want someone to think you’re the dumbest human alive while simultaneously needing your help to do anything

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

@thinkingwest "they can't be changed" is deceptively important

Daily reminder that you need to be stacking *physical* books. Why? -they can’t be changed -you can pass them on to your children -they’re a break from a screen -you don’t lose entertainment when your battery goes out -they make great decorations -they smell amazing

@krassenstein at this point it's just nice to see a newsroom full of people

INCREDIBLE! Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post. Congrats!!

This just makes me so incredibly sad.
