Here's my essay, "How to Reduce Shootings," first published in 2017 and, tragically, still applicable today. We won't reduce killings to zero, but we have the means to reduce shootings by many thousands a year -- if only we can summon the political will.

We could bring down the death toll caused by guns if we are smarter about how we regulate them.

At Payton Gendron's high school, kids were asked for their plans post-graduation. He said his was to commit a murder-suicide. This prompted a mental-health exam but not an attempt to bar him from owning a gun. https://t.co/rrog3jly3q by @AshleyAtTimes & @chelsiamarcius & me

Payton Gendron was sent for a psychiatric evaluation when he was still in high school but soon fell off investigators’ radar.

We used to lock the most severely mentally ill people away in asylums that were often brutal. We rarely do that anymore. But we don’t take care of them either. The system is set up now so that the buck stops nowhere. The sickest New Yorkers get treated like hot potatoes.

Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA

Stunning to see how the original filmmaker Lindsay-Hogg completely cut Preston out of the rooftop concert. Flat out ignored.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate the musical mastery of Billy Preston. Experience Peter Jackson’s #TheBeatlesGetBack, now streaming on @DisneyPlus

Really lovely use of technology and archives to create this bit of storytelling. It’s a shame this history isn’t taught in schools, we need to soak up these people’s stories, make sure this kind of erasure never happens again.

We created a 3-D model of Greenwood, home of “Black Wall Street,” as it was before a white mob set it on fire 100 years ago.

nice. hope you're documenting the process accordingly. homemade potting mix, as in from compost?
@elliott I���m a week and a half late! But I’ve been delayed. I’m attempting to turn a 3x8’ galvanized cattle trough into a container garden. Fingers crossed. Making like 30 cu ft of homemade potting mix. Hope to have lettuce, radishes and carrots seeded in there by the end of the week

Check out the ever brilliant @nicolestamp. No one is better at breaking this stuff down for parents. Go for a walk and have a listen. You'll come back smarter.

I am in no way, shape or form auditioning for Takeout Critic but restaurants: please don't send plastic silver unless the customer asks. We're throwing plastic away, you're throwing money away.
