I suspect the editors at Jacobin expected Chomsky to die imminently (not a terrible bet: he was 95) so had an obituary ready and waiting to go at the first hint.

@cstross uh, don’t most journals have those for a lot of people?

yeah moss is great but how about a vascular plant that has basically ... gone back to the way of the moss...

Azorella compacta

It's... it's a carrot that has given up on having leaves...

Imagine a hostile planet with plants like this... could you tell that they once grew in less cold and arid climates? What if flora of the twilight days of a planet look like the earliest life... but when you look closer there are abilities, and structures that tell their history....

It looks exactly like a tuft of green moss.

@futurebird most fascinating is the idea that this plant generates its own peat.
