As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

As we see ANOTHER huge drop in the cost of curing tuberculosis, I am reminded that 1. drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something, and 2. the fruits of activism are often harvested over many years. Thanks to all the folks who made this happen. www.stoptb.org/news/breakin...

Incredibly, The Anthropocene Reviewed just RE-ENTERED the New York Times bestseller list 4 years after its publication.

Thanks to everyone who has kept that little book alive, which I wrote for myself in search of hope that could withstand life as I found it. I hope it's been useful to y'all.

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

It's genuinely absurd that Hank has co-created the most popular app in the United States. This is only going to encourage him.

I'm worried that Hank's app being a phenomenon will lead to him believing his 1,000 other business ideas are also good.

It's genuinely absurd that my brother, vertical video sensation @hankgreen.bsky.social, co-created the sixth most popular app in the world right now.
