Ok, so now that I’ve had a moment to breathe, let me take a few minutes to dive into the study I just published about Russian involvement in the 2022 truck convoy in Canada. The study can be read in full here: https://journals.lib.sfu.ca/index.php/jicw/article/view/5101

If I were an ambitious reporter with investigative skills and good FL contacts or roots, I'd be taking a leaf out of David Fahrenthold's book and start digging now into the web of connections between DeSantis and his major financial backers.

Corruption in state capitals often gets undercovered, certainly at the nat'l level. Anyone who gets a jump on this story can start thinking about Pulitzer nominations.

The economy is roaring, jobs are soaring, inflation is boring, recession is fading, covid is contained, and insurrectionists are going to jail. Yet the global conservative media entertainment complex wants to know "Why won't Biden lead?"

Authorities increasingly concerned that Chinese balloon may drop counterfeit SD cards around the country, with less than the labeled amount of actual capacity, thereby bringing our entire computer industry to a halt when writable space runs out unexpectedly.

The 19th Century cholera outbreak in London was solved by public, not individual, action. Almost no one believed Dr. John Snow, an obstetrician, who said the Broad Street pump was the source of the disease. But, town officials decided to take the handle off the pump, making it impossible to draw water. Had they instead asked everyone to live with cholera and take individual action only if they cared to do so, thousands more would've perished.

Charles Henry Turner was a pioneer in entomology - and he couldn't get a job in higher ed, so he taught high school biology.

"Across his distinguished 33-year career, Turner authored 71 papers and was the first African American to have his research published in the prestigious journal Science."

His simple but elegant experiments in public parks revolutionized understanding of bees.
