I love this perspective as well
Really showcases how we are "catching" the moon with this trajectory

Two years ago, almost 0 schools were interested in even considering going phone free.
Now, whole school systems are phone free. The rest are scrambling to get on board
We owe @JonHaidt a tremendous debt of gratitude.
What he achieved - this quickly - is almost unimaginable.

The Anxious Generation was published two years ago today, in a very different world. Back then, the most common objection I got was resignation: "The train has left the station." "You can't put toothpaste back in the tube." "It's how the kids connect today." Today, the world looks very different. It turns out that if our kids were all on a train and we learned it was heading toward a collapsed bridge, we'd find a way to stop it and bring them safely back to the station. That’s what’s happening now. After the historic verdicts in Los Angeles and New Mexico, today is a great day to reflect on the capacity of people in democratic societies to take action, even when opposing some of the most powerful corporations in history. We're getting access to the courts. We're getting phone-free schools. We're seeing whole neighborhoods letting kids out to play, unsupervised, which is what we older folk all remember as the best part of childhood. So I want to recognize: --The mothers (and, right behind them, fathers) who rose up by the millions and powered the movement. --The farsighted governors and legislators in red states and blue states who have been innovating on policy solutions. --The leaders of a dozen of nations, who are raising the age to 16 for opening social media accounts (with a special shoutout to Australia, for going first). --The teachers and school administrators who had their classrooms disrupted for 15 years, and who are now eager to think through new solutions as screens have taken over and obstructed learning. --The grassroots organizations who have been dedicating their efforts to advocate for all of the above in their local communities. --The millions of members of Gen Z who have been rising up, demanding agency over how they spend their lives in the digital era, and finding better ways to connect in real life. And one final group: the survivor parents--the ones you saw in those pictures of people embracing on the front steps of the LA courthouse. I have met many over the years. I am in awe of their courage and tenacity, their willingness to tell their stories of loss, over and over again, to different audiences, in the hope that no other parent would have to endure what they have endured. At long last, juries and legislatures are hearing you, and are acting. Together, we are calling the train back to the station. Together, we are rolling back the phone based childhood and reclaiming life in the real world. The work continues. If you’re not already involved, join us: anxiousgeneration.com/join

Another major win for Georgia’s life sciences industry. UCB, Inc. plans to invest $2 billion in a new pharmaceutical biologics manufacturing facility at Rowen in Gwinnett County, creating 330 new direct jobs over the next several years. bit.ly/4c3ZYlW

Holy smokes….incredible finish at LA Marathon today by American Nathan Martin coming from behind to catch and beat Kenyan Michael Kamari at the finish line

Exclusive: American Nathan Martin, a 36-year-old high school cross county coach from Jackson, Michigan, is the personification of never giving up.
He won the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon in 2:11:16.50, capturing the title in the final stride of the 26.2 mile race Sunday.

Something strange is happening in the information war.
Young Americans defending regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran that jail protesters, strip women of rights and execute people for being gay.
Self-described patriots on the right suddenly echoing narratives that benefit a country like Russia — which is openly hostile to the United States.
How does that happen?
Not through tanks or missiles.
Post by post, people get pulled into camps that don’t actually serve their own country or their own values. They become pieces on a chessboard in a GRAY WAR — a conflict fought with information instead of bullets.
And most people don’t even realize they’re part of it.
The battlefield isn’t overseas anymore — it’s in your feed.

This is disgusting.
NCAA runner caught by teammates using banned substances. Teammates do the right thing and turn him in.
And now he’s running at a D3 school setting records, facing zero consequences.
Do better: @NCAADIII @RowanUniversity @RowanMXC_Track
LetsRun.com@letsrundotcom
We’ve spent weeks investigating the stunning rise of the NCAA DIII's newest distance star. Multiple ex-teammates at Iowa St. have told us he used a PED. Is a loophole in the NCAA's drug policy allowing him to compete for Rowan University? Here is what we found. 🏃♂️💨 [Link in next post] #NCAAXC #TrackField

In 1959, Fidel Castro promised to redistribute Cuba's wealth and create equality for all. Within a decade, the island that once exported sugar and cigars to the world couldn't even keep its own lights on. The wealthy fled, but instead of their riches trickling down to the poor, everyone just became equally poor together.
The revolucionarios had calculated that seizing the means of production would mean seizing prosperity itself. What they discovered instead was that prosperity isn't sitting in some vault waiting to be redistributed—it's created daily by millions of voluntary exchanges, investments, and entrepreneurial risks. When you abolish those mechanisms, you don't redistribute wealth; you redistribute poverty.
Today's politicians make the same mathematical error Castro did: they see inequality and assume it represents a fixed pie that just needs better slicing. They never ask why some pies grow while others shrink, or why the countries promising equality most loudly seem to deliver scarcity most efficiently.
The cruel irony is that the only truly "equal" outcome socialism reliably produces is making everyone equally worse off than they started.

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

Until we realize “Mandatory Spending” makes up over 72% of spending, and that more people are retiring everyday than are entering the workforce, this debt threat won’t be solved. You can cut the entire defense budget and still have a deficit. I support a Debt Commission.

From @WSJopinion: It’s been eons since Republicans even pretended about spending reform, much less took real steps toward righting the fiscal ship. The country can hope the Russ Vought fires keep burning, writes @KimStrassel. on.wsj.com/4kkiRDy

Shapiro is touching on a consequential blind spot for many Democrats. If people watch trillion-dollar programs getting passed and don't see deliverables on those promises several years later, they will become more skeptical when they hear the next sales pitch.
Chief Nerd@TheChiefNerd
🚨 OUCH: Gov. Shapiro Throws the Biden-Harris Admin Under the Bus “They got that infrastructure bill passed to provide the BILLIONS of dollars that were needed to … connect everybody in Pennsylvania. Do you know how many people have been connected to high speed, affordable Internet thanks to President Biden? … ZERO.”
