True Synonymy in the English Language
Three years ago I became intrigued by what I would later come to find is a fairly common question. Even now, upon googling, I see a plethora of questions on the topic: is there such a thing as a "true synonym"?

How Gaming Can Save us from our Apathy
I teamed up with the Pulitzer Prize winning organization PolitiFact to make my latest non-profit game, PolitiTruth. Combatting fake news and lies in politics may not be sexy, but it's more important than ever to fact-check sources and challenge your own preconceptions about the truth.
