.@LAWeekly’s PR firm that sells best of spots in their articles to people threatened me with a campaign of “negative articles” about me and “forced to get your account banned / taken down using the mass reporting tools / software we have access to” if I don’t delete this tweet.

Despite the crudeness of his experimental setup 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was able to calculate the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value nyti.ms/3xD2b2W

A Doodle Reveals da Vinci’s Early Deconstruction of Gravity (Published 2023)

Long before Galileo and Newton used superior mathematics to study a fundamental natural force, Leonardo calculated the gravitational constant with surprising accuracy.

Love this joyful and difficult story of Autumn and her emotional support duck! Los Angeles is full of heart and characters and @brittny_mejia and @MelMelconPhoto brought us another great one. latimes.com/california/story…

How a homeless woman and her 'emotional support duck' survive on the streets of L.A.

For Autumn McWilliams, life on the streets isn’t easy. But a Pekin duck named Cardi D shows her ‘unconditional love.’

In 1970, @DownBeatMag called Charles Stepney “one of those unseen workhorses whose business is other people’s success.” It's time he emerged from the shadows. My latest for @Chicago_Reader ( a new @intlanthem album) help pull back the curtain to genius. tinyurl.com/2p94duj9

Brilliant Chicago arranger Charles Stepney gets his flowers at an ambitious Millennium Park concert that doubles as a celebration of his first-ever solo album, released 46 years after his death.
