If your Twitter profile-pic is anything other than you as a small child, you're internetting wrong. A constant reminder of our shared origins as tiny little idiots would make the internet more friendly. Like the first day of kindergarten, not the worst days of high school.

@Neil_Druckmann Can you settle a debate we're having over here at Radiolab? We're wondering where you got the inspiration for the mushroom apocalypse in The Last of Us (tv version).

[W. Harry Fortuna @fortunatefolly]

@lmillernpr Or genuflecting, though that's more of a kneel. Prostrating, maybe?

@EricFrancisco24 @inversedotcom Oh man. I'm so sorry. I can say without hesitation that you're a great writer, and will be an invaluable asset for whatever organization you end up in next.

[W. Harry Fortuna @fortunatefolly]

As one of the last two unpaid interns Radiolab had (shoutout to @perciaverlin), I have mixed feelings every time I see we now pay our interns.

That said, I'd do it for free again. In a heartbeat.

This brilliant but brutal PSA from 2018 aimed to motivate young people to vote with some reverse psychology

@lmillernpr Coast Starlight, runs along the PCH from LA to Vancouver. Bonus, LA union station is also super cool

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

Every human of consequence is, at some point, measured by what they leave behind. @jadabumrad defined the sound of an entire industry. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be even a tiny part of it. To time for being. Soak it in. You've earned it.

Hey everybody. I have some big personal news. I am stepping aside as host of Radiolab. This show that I started in 2002 - in my basement - is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and this feels like the right time.

Much thanks to @McEwenAnnie for her production magic on this one.

[Latif Nasser @latifnasser]

UPDATE: Just got word that Abdul Latif is out of Moroccan custody and back at home with his family. #EidMubarak to him on his first day at home in over two decades. (And by total coincidence, it’s also my birthday.)

@kathryncasteel CRTL is OPEN APPLE for the most part.

@ZamTheWriter As someone who has lived in an apartment where I had to buy a smartbulb just to simulate sunrise. Natural light is first and foremost. I'll pay 1/3 more just to know the sun has come up.

[W. Harry Fortuna @fortunatefolly]

@latifnasser Because water is god's tears, and god is sad a lot.
Why is god crying?
Usually, something you did.

Clearly, I don't have children.

[W. Harry Fortuna @fortunatefolly]

@TracieHunte That was going to be my guess. Also, from the great state of Maryland.

@Falco_Reports Cause it has the Eagles in it.
