One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

Help...I have heard that some people look at a light to /stop/ a sneeze. I am very much the opposite. Are there people out there who have this anti-sneeze reaction when looking at something bright??

Seriously consider taking 45 minutes out of your day (perfect for multitaskers) watch, or listen, to this from Hank Green. Multiple 💡💡 going on all at once. Answers many, many questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwgz... @hankgreen.bsky.social

Cyber Monday is Very Dumb. But, weirdly, I have found that Good.Store does nonetheless greatly benefit by participating. So, right now we're doing our BIGGEST DISCOUNT OF THE YEAR. If you're not sure what we have that people in your world might like, WE MADE A QUIZ! good.store/pages/holida...

An entire 45 minute @hankgreen.bsky.social video answering the question of why boomers run the government - in case you need some Thanksgiving eve viewing material that perfectly sums up why @runforsomething.net exists. youtu.be/IwgzuSqb7ys?...

Neither Montana nor California have legalized in-app gambling and the fact that those two very different states agree on this should be a signal to everywhere else.

Having taken 26 hours away from the internet I now feel uniquely qualified to lecture you all on… I’m kidding. Keep at it weirdos.

HELLO!! I have just weaseled my way into a set at this year’s “Cancer is a Joke” fundriaser! You can see me and a bunch of much funnier people with a $19 donation streamed live from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles! Not, my set, at least, is not suitable for kids. veeps.com/dynastytypew...

Woke up this morning with sudden terrible neck pain. Twisted my ankle going down the stairs and then I sliced my finger on a can of beans. Prepping a turkey breast on one foot with one hand without being able to look down was a new challenge, but I was up for it!

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

If anybody has any idea why my Twitter account is Japanese, let me know!!

@hankgreen.bsky.social nooo, Hank don’t do it!!!

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

FIVE MINUTES (for real this time)

I'm about to do a LIVE Ask Hank Anything, answering questions from fans and surprise guests!! www.youtube.com/live/NMr8AOT...

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Um...Focus Friend is Google's...App...of the Year. OF THE YEAR?! Not like, in a category. But APP OF THE YEAR. BRIA, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE!!! @bobabria.bsky.social blog.google/products/goo...

BUT WHAT IF IT IS

OMG #focusfriend has a new room! Thanks @bobabria.bsky.social and @hankgreen.bsky.social I can't wait to focus and then decorate as a reward. I'm excited to check out the new themes!

I just got my hair cut by a woman who has us all beat. She owns the shop but she also works two hours a week bussing at a fancy hotel restaurant so she can get employee deals at fancy hotels. And two days a week she slings bags for Delta so she can fly wherever she wants for free.

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WORKING ON AN EBV VACCINE RIGHT NOW!! x.com/stanfordmed/...

A delightful chat…even if I got a little mad…

I have gotten so many requests for bringing back these shirts, so we have printed a limited number. Unfortunately the Galilean Moons shirts are almost completely sold out but we still have a few more of the fish shirts! Moons: store.dftba.com/products/the... Fish: store.dftba.com/products/han...

This is the other one. With fossil fuels, discovery costs rise while tech costs fall, meaning prices stay roughly the same (inflation-adjusted) over time. With electrotech, discovery costs are $0, so the only dynamic is falling tech costs. Victory is inevitable.

“But you can bounce lasers off of mirrors the Apollo astronauts put on the moon yourself!” I mean; ok, pretty good, but have you tried, “Yeah, the government /did/ lie about the moon landings…for example, every time an Apollo astronaut said ‘sunofabitch’ the official transcripts read ‘garbled’.”

Kim Kardashians being a moon truther makes sense and everything but I still hate it with an uncontainable fury.

Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

Apple’s App of the Day is our app for using apps less! A small win in an admittedly losing battle, but I’ll still celebrate it!!

TODAY

HOUSTON! TOMORROW I'm going to speaking at Space Center Houston! We'll be talking about science and story telling and I have a discount code! Use code HANK25 at checkout to get $25 off your ticket. Doors open at 5:30PM | Event begins at 6:15 PM spacecenter.org/event/though...

AI and Crypto data centers need to be the first ones to lose power in a brown out.

David is how I found out about this race. You should follow him and listen to his podcast. Volts.wtf

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

YESSSSSSS

If you are (or work for) a politician and have questions about how to use YouTube well, please ask.

Ayer veía este video de @hankgreen.bsky.social y es increíble como usaron la Argentina de prueba piloto. En el video habla de la crueldad del gobierno y que toman la desición de quitarle la comida a la gente con la excusa de que "no hay plata" youtu.be/HwLaKBHIT7w?...

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

I’m moderating a panel of TB experts on the vlogbrothers youtube channel! Tune in on November 13th at 9 am EST.

You’ve heard of Duo Lingo, but I found Uno Longo.

Tonight at 9pm on BBC Two we'll be looking at WINGS AND WHEELS in a brand new episode with Sandi, Alan, Aisling Bea, Desiree Burch and Hank Green.

What politician wants this: “Meals on Wheels x 100 with young people paid to cook and deliver meals.”

Top tier comment on a video about the crisis US farmers are now dealing with.

Seriously, how do I watch QI on Tuesday?

My favorite totally minor but insane juxtaposition between England and the US is that brits think their beans are sweet.

I have two friends who are ex Mormons and they are the best of all of my friends at reaching out to hang out or do something together /and/ they almost never flake and I need this to be studied.

I've never been interested in trying a focus app before, even though I have insane ADHD, but @hankgreen.bsky.social lured me in with Focus Friend and it might be my new favorite app

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing. I have a model that has been working. I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.
