From the Editorial Board:
Neuroscientists have found that when people read, their brains don’t just process words — they simulate the story world.
By contrast, social media rarely demands such deep simulation.

Editorial: A society that stops reading stops thinking
Daily reading for pleasure in the U.S. has fallen more than 40% over the past 20 years — roughly 3% per year, according to researchers at the University of Florida and University College London.

I planted tulips, lilies, and a bearded iris for next year. It's an act of almost naive and insane optimism, planting now to enjoy in 6 or 7 or 9 months. The iris instruction was wrong. It stated plant 4-6" deep. Nope. Plant at soil surface level. #Gardening 🌱

Thought I’d bring you along on my afternoon hike. I’m calling this one Noon in the Aspen Grove. Including my heavy breathing. At 8,300 ft, many of you would be huffing it too. 😉
