Also, two #Podcast episode recs from recent listening:
Remember Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't? These dudes are WICKED confident in some extremely technical know-how, but there's a lot of interesting science beyond the wave of names. A recent episode on fungi had some choice facts.

And Maddow's Déjà News posted a bonus crossover on Spiro Agnew, & what a deal in 1973 did to protect democracy that might be relevant for today's US politics. Cheers!
😂 Bitter Monday night indeed!
Do consider diving into the rebroadcast of the Bag Man episode, then! It's a really good, chewy piece reflecting on the many different legal moves sometimes necessary to sustain a country's democracy while pursuing criminal cases against sitting or actively running politicians.
(Or get back to writing that book! ;) Lots of options!)
@MLClark Oh, re "Bag Man" ... I'm old enough to have lived through the Agnew and Nixon resignations, my senior year in high school.
Fun fact ... Jerry Voorhees, the man Nixon defeated to go to Congress in 1946, lived in my home town, Claremont CA. He was on my delivery route. I talked to him from time to time, had no idea who he was until his name came up in a college Poli Sci class. An opportunity missed.
