3/ “QAnon is emblematic of modern America’s susceptibility to conspiracy theories, and its enthusiasm for them. But it is also already much more than a loose collection of conspiracy-minded chat-room inhabitants,” @adrienneLaF reports: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… 
4/ @elcush explains why, as a teen, she found herself particularly susceptible to the principles of conspiracy thinking: “Conspiracism was my party trick, my real-life troll, as seductive as it was wrong and in fact even more seductive for its wrongness.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
5/ Conspiracism has infiltrated America’s school boards, @AdamHSays reports. Today, it’s radicalizing already heated debates over book bans, mask and vaccine requirements, and how and whether the history of racism is taught. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
6/ Shadowland premieres at #TAF22 on September 21. Catch it streaming only on @PeacockTV: peacocktv.com/watch-online/t…
