I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

In the Malheur National Forest in Michigan there is a single fungus that stretches nearly four square miles underground with a combined weight of around 35000 tons and an estimated lifespan of around 8500 years. It's the oldest of five humongous funguses within the forest, each genetically distinct.
