The true OG (Original George). I just turned 90 and have led a sorted life. Public Speaker. Currently in hiding due to gambling debts no honest chimp(ado) could pay. (Obviously a satire account)
Working a speaker series exploring Ted, my old Friend in the Yellow Hat. We’ll see how tickets sell.

The youth of today will never know the joy of hearing “Tubthumping” on the radio before it became a punchline. That’s sad.

Be aware of this truth that the people on this earth could be joyous, if only they would live rationally, and if they would contribute mutually to each others’ welfare.

My biographers and greatest friends. If you don’t know their story, do yourself a favor and read on. #curiousgeorge
The couple behind Curious George fled Paris during the Second World War. Their backstory, which was largely unknown for years, makes the dream logic of the books seem different from how it first appears.
The Unexpected Profundity of Curious George
The backstory of the couple who created Curious George—fleeing Paris as the Nazis invaded—casts the dream logic of the stories in a new light.

Can vouch: I’ve been telling people to play more and fight less my whole career.
Play behavior among adult chimpanzees may have many benefits such as reducing group tension or boosting cooperation.
For adult chimps, playing may be more important than previously thought
A multiyear study of dozens of wild, adult chimps suggests that play helps reduce tension and boost cooperation among individuals.

I just wish I’d had this sort of support when I transitioned away from Hollywood. I had to figure it out on my own . . . and man, did I make mistakes.
What a perfect first post. Check out this @nytimes.com story about rescued #chimpanzees and the people who work together to advocate for them, including my colleagues at Lincoln Park Zoo. Great story by @emilyanthes.bsky.social (thank you!). #animalwelfare
