What's cooler than retro synthwave dappled with Japanese fusion? Having a son who just published his first EP, all in that style. Torn between being a proud dad and a fan, so I'mma go with both. Favorite track below — if you dig it, spread the love: open.spotify.com/track/62QzN…

Convinced @Newsweek has the greatest newsroom breakroom view in all of breakroomdom. As a native Nebraskan, this never gets old:

The smell of democracy in the morning — captured on the commute from DC to @Newsweek HQ this morning on Election Day. No matter who you touch a screen, pull a lever or punch a chad for, get out and vote!

Butler county district attorney Richard Goldinger tells me Trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe. An audience member was killed and the shooter is dead. Another person is in serious condition, the prosecutor said.

In the 72nd floor of the World Trade Center, the @Newsweek newsroom has to have one of the best views in the nation. So cool to share the space with guests as we host the World’s Greatest Auto Disruptors.

Two reasons to watch the first episode of this @Newsweek series untangling the quirks of human behavior — 1: It's fascinating. 2: Features the always riveting astronaut @Cmdr_Hadfield
🔴 Why we think better in the shower? 🔴 Why we keep checking horoscopes? 🔴 Why we procrastinate?

We’ll talk with everyone from Nobel laureates to astronauts to find the answers to these (and many more) fundamental questions. Check it out: newsweek.com/why-do-we

This is an outstanding, thorough review worth reading. Also it has this dystopian sentence: "Unlike any other TV in your life, the Vision Pro can literally DRM your eyes — if you’re watching a movie and go to take a screen capture, the content blacks out." theverge.com/24054862/apple-…

We are getting MOBBED with trick-or-treaters. It's Spielbergian out there. Ran out of candy long ago. We are down to protein bars, y'all. We're 11 trick-or-treaters away from giving out Taco Bell hot sauce packets.

Building my crow army, day 82: they vanished for a few weeks and came back with extended family! 10 of them out there, patiently waiting for snacks.

40 years ago, we moved into the second house in a new neighborhood. The streets were curbs and mud, the lots were plowed, you could feel the energy to come, but it was still a quiet place. That’s a little how Bluesky feels right now. Join me over there: bsky.app/profile/awtry.bsky.…

NEW: If @Sen_JoeManchin doesn't run in 2024, Joe Biden will be left without one of his chief energy policy architects and top ambassadors to rural America. I traveled to West Virginia for @Newsweek and talked to voters about politics and energy policy. newsweek.com/why-joe-biden-n… – at Brooklyn, NY
