I had a good interview with the Washington Post‘s Sunday magazine a very long time ago. I didn’t get the job, but I learned a ton – and got to walk around that newspaper’s hallowed newsroom a bit. We all revered that newspaper.

Today’s news was expected but is dismaying nonetheless. The oligarchs of America seek to starve its citizens. They are starting with what were established sources of reliable information.

Yuval Noah Harari has said that institutions can take generations to build – establishing trust and proving reliability – but they are nonetheless brittle. Once shattered, we will need to restore them, but is that possible now?
