My amazing friend and former coworker @becksfrankel wrote a book about canine war heroes - and then brought one home to live with her. Here's her dramatic, heartwarming story about Dyngo the dog, complete with adorable pictures. https://t.co/J982L2poae

"Outrage and negativity are the most 'engaging,' and so that’s what we’re fed [on social media]." So true. It's hard to imagine that just liking other people will be enough to bridge the worst divides we're dealing with now. But if that won't work, I'm not sure if anything will.

Somehow, whenever I'm editing articles about important topics like curing blindness, there's always a part of the fact-checking process where I need to watch videos of things like Pee-wee Herman dancing with dogs.

Aww, Kepler is struggling! That whole mission has been so cool, right down to the fake vintage travel posters for other Earth-like planets.

This essay by the novelist @DaraHorn is jaw-droppingly powerful. She creates a vivid alternative reality - an adult Anne Frank who survived the camps and went on to be a very different writer than any of us would've imagined.

Why Anne Frank's diary, first published over 70 years ago, is worth another read - through an adult lens. When did you first read her diary? https://t.co/oHH5Yrgbxz

I loved getting to edit this - it's the previously unpublished diary of a Polish-Jewish teenager who was killed by the Nazis. She was an amazing writer, a really different voice and story from Anne Frank's. Her boyfriend tried to save her and wrote the final entries.

RT @seanmcarroll: My distaste for Julian Assange and my love for his cat are causing some serious cognitive dissonance. https://t.co/hnX9h…
