Green Bank Observatory Now tell me this soundtrack isn't perfect

My review of THE QUIET ZONE appears at Southern Review of Books. I hope you'll take a few moments to check out this important book that dispels many stereotypes and myths about #WestVirginia & shares the importance of #GreenBank: southernreviewofbooks.com/2022/08/22/the….

I had a “quiet talk” with the ever-illuminating and always-amusing ⁦Atlas Obscura⁩ podcast this week — thanks for having me on, ⁦Dylan Thuras⁩! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Journos, I promise this isn't a scam: Get paid to study biz and econ at Columbia University w/ Knight-Bagehot Fellowships. It was an awesome year for me. journalism.columbia.edu/kb

I carried my 1-year-old up and down the 48 tallest peaks in NH's White Mountains. I refused to carry a cell phone or any kind of GPS tech. Here's my long-form argument why that was good parenting: outdoors.org/resources/amc-… Appalachian Mtn Club @AppalachiaJourn

Visited my local, favorite #indie #bookstore, WordPlay! I was excited to see one of my favorite books available. You can read my review of this amazing book by Stephen Kurczy at Southern Review of Books: southernreviewofbooks.com/2022/08/22/the…

Great work by Bethany Johnson and sofiaj.v!

The Quiet Zone: 13,000 sq. miles in Appalachia where Wi-Fi, cellphones, combustion engines & more noisy tech are outlawed. Why does it exist? What happens there? Stephen Kurczy reveals what the National Security Agency does there: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9nvb4H…

The Quiet Zone and Seinfeld, those are my two passions. It's only natural to combine them.

Jason has electro sensitivity and Peter has misophonia… are either of them even real? Many residents inside the Quiet Zone who claim to have electro sensitivity report a reduction in symptoms after living there. Unfortunately for Peter, there’s no zone dedicated to misophonia.

Had the strangest dream

Isn’t it the dreamiest press pass ever #TwinPeaksDay

Ahh, the 90s. Back when CliffsNotes was the class cheat and AI was for crime-fighting. Best part of these old comic books might be the ads.

This is getting creepy

I'm at Dunkin and it's $10 for 25 munchkins or $13 for 50 munchkins. Don't need 50, but I gotta bring down my PPM (price per munchkin). Just another victim of the behavioral economics of price anchoring.
