It suddenly occurred to me that there are places where bans on social media might trigger uprisings not because they curtail political speech but because they threaten the livelihoods of slop farms and cyborg engagement baiters.

@mattandkarensmith If it’s your dream (or your wife’s) to belly-crawl through dark narrow cave passages, you’re in luck.
The National Park Service has numerous Wild Caving guided tours where you can dive into an extreme underground adventure and explore places most people will never see.
NPS sites with Wild Cave tours:
South Dakota: Wind Cave National Park and Jewel Cave National Monument
Kentucky: Mammoth Cave National Park
Oregon: Oregon Caves National Monument
Nevada: Lehman Cave at Great Basin National Park
Utah: Timpanogos National Monument
These guided tours require advance reservations, so visit the parks’ websites to find out how to sign up, and what you need to wear/bring with you.
Does this sound like fun to you? #caving #nationalparks ♬ On The Way - Hollow Coves
