Apologies for the blog hiatus — Thanksgiving and a series of project deadlines intervened. To get things rolling again, here are some quick hits adapted from my Twitter feed, which I’ve been using to post original content more than I expected (follow me!):

–Via Seth Masket, the Denver school board hired a therapist to help resolve its conflicts but now is being forced to let the public in on the therapy session.

-It’s not a good sign when the Afghan foreign minister sounds like Bob the Builder: “Can we do it? That is the main question.”

–Via Bill Simmons, a bizarre Chinese CG animation of what they thought might have happened with Tiger Woods — I expect CNN to start using this technique soon.

-“V” fuels anti-vaccine paranoia.

-How do we convince people that overtreatment can be as bad as undertreatment?
