Meet the New Host of Reading Rainbow: Mychal the Librarian | Book Riot

🎶 Take a look, it's in a book 🎶 🥹 After nearly 20 years... Reading Rainbow is returning to motivate, help, and encourage kids to become avid readers with new episodes, new friends, new projects, and of course... new books! Make sure to follow the rainbow 📚🌈 #FollowTheRainbow

The best adventures are buzzing in your #library. 🐝

I really dislike this year’s slogan, but I can get behind “read for your rights” any day #FreedomToRead

How to be an informed, pro-library, anti-book ban voter in upcoming fall elections (if you have them) and well into the future. Don't just celebrate banned books. Don't just read banned books. VOTE to support the democratic institutions creating access to them. bookriot.com/library-elec...

Read that again. .01% of parents deny their children access to school libraries because it is literally .01% of parents creating the moral panic and spreading lies about books in school libraries. Yet there are schools COMPLETELY BANNING LIBRARIES FROM THEIR ENTIRE STUDENT BODY.

As the father of a teenager trying to navigate social media and AI and everything else, just popping up to say: We should be teaching news literacy in middle school. And we should have started at least a decade ago.

Just landed after this week's school visits & turned on my phone to learn that THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES has been named one of @publisherswkly.bsky.social's Best Books of 2025! I'm absolutely thrilled and honored to be in such great company - congrats to all of the creators on this year's list!

The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

An unexpected ally of solar farms may be traditional agriculture, as solar farms provide ideal growing conditions for certain crops and wildflowers. insideclimatenews.org/news/1810202...

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

I see a lot of utility for AI, but I’ve stopped using it entirely. It gets things wrong. It’s glib. And AI sorts information and people into preset hierarchies. It’s this latter point that’s giving me the most pause. The current iteration of AI is also a social engineering project.

AI misrepresents news 45% of the time. Hasn't stopped every major search provider enthusiastically adopting it www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it. @eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome. My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

The primary advantage of using Signal over WhatsApp is that Signal does not store metadata. Just sayin'. www.forbes.com/sites/the-wi...

This is a really terrific book for anyone interested in African American history or childhood studies! 🗃️

“ “Betty Ford had the best quote for how special the East Wing is: ‘If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart,” Anita McBride, who was chief of staff to Laura Bush when she was first lady, told East Wing Magazine.” - NYTimes What a metaphor, indeed. 💔

Ever noticed how young children sometimes mix up b and d — or p and q? New research suggests the answer may lie not just in literacy, but in spatial reasoning. 🔗 tinyurl.com/5f2cvxjd TLDR 👇 #langsky #languageacquisition #linguistics #childlanguage

TLDR (3/4): Eye-tracking studies reveal that children often think visually, not verbally, when solving problems — rotating entire images in their minds rather than breaking them into parts. This holistic thinking supports stronger reading & language development later on. #langsky #linguistics

TLDR (4/4): The findings also shed light on why some children struggle with reading & dyslexia: those who rely on piecemeal strategies (focusing on parts, not wholes) may find it harder to distinguish similar letters or process words fluidly. #langsky #linguistics #languageacquisition

As an aside while I talk about indie games here. Uh, yes devs Opendyslexic is a remarkable font but maybe use a second readable font that matches the fidelity of your game instead? It's not a magic typeface that instantly gives your game the accessibility buff when you slap it in

It isn't a remarkable font at all. It isn't completely useless, it does help a small minority. But it makes reading actively worse for most people under the dyslexia umbrella.

Yeah, a big problem I have with it, or rather games using it is its not really suited for what it's used for in games: Big long paragraphs. As somebody with vision problems I would rather prefer a simpler serif font than it, or at least another option.
