✨ About Logic Bully
Hi, I’m Scott. I started this site to teach my two kids, Brooke (8) and Wade (6), about a wide range of topics in a fun, consistent way. The plan? Walk through things like:
How to use GenAI to create and review content
The value of showing up every day (this will post every morning)
Basics of marketing and branding (I’ll be learning this one right alongside them)
Playing with data (once we have more subscribers… cue my nerd moment)
And now, for the standard “About” section...
At Logic Bully, we pull from a wide range of conservative, liberal, and moderate sources to bring you a daily news summary you can skim in just a few minutes. Our goal is to give you the full picture—what’s happening, how it’s being spun, and where different sides stand—so you’re informed quickly and clearly. No rants, no rabbit holes. Just the gist, from every angle.
