In Search of Sungudogo by Greg Laden.

Sometimes called the "fourth African ape," Sungudogo is not a Gorilla, not a Chimpanzee, not a Bonobo, and possibly not even real. Years ago, Sungudogo drew the interest of the world famous primatologist Dieter Phillips, who was funded by a secret society of "scholars and gentlemen" to launch an expedition to determine the veracity of this mysterious primate. Dieter never returned from that expedition, and as the years passed, the whole story drifted into obscurity. But the watchers were always watching, always waiting, for clues of the fate of this expedition. When new evidence came to light, the investigation was renewed into the outcome of Phillip's ill fated trek into the Rain Forest. Who better to follow Dieter Phillip's tracks than his former student, aided by an explorer and mercenary familiar with the area, assisted by two willing Congolese park guards?They were to learn things that went beyond their wildest imaginations, and they would discover secrets about Phillip's expedition, about the rift valley, about themselves, about humanity, that they would never be able to share but that would change their lives forever.

North Dakota is making unfortunate attempts to thwart modern energy. Could imagine this happening in Montana, too. https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1365073220899008512

The fact that we are about to be hit with a tidal wave of voter suppression legislation by Republican legislatures throughout the country is the most under reported story right now. The media is unequipped to cover this in clear moral terms and instead prefers to both sides it.

I am currently tracking voter suppression legislation in:

Got a bit heated at the end but let’s be clear, when you push sands tar sludge 11,000 miles through pipes <337 MN miles> it’s going to leak. Is it worth it? I think not. #GoHomeEnbridge https://twitter.com/yourlegislators/status/1365132734964916231

Your Legislators@YourLegislators

Why should a multinational organization come into our state and put our lands in danger. And what about sex trafficking issues? I think they should pack up and go. They didn't take care of the original line 3. They were not good stewards.

When we are shouting about the two democratic senators who oppose the minimum wage hike instead of the FIFTY republican senators who oppose a livable wage, we are doing EXACTLY what the GOP wants us to do.

It took historic levels of Dem turnout to beat Trump. The GOP will pass voter suppression laws in key states between now and 2024, and will benefit from gerrymandering in 2022. If Dems don’t act boldly now, we could be looking at a second Trump presidency. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1365258572305756161

Quite a thread. https://twitter.com/aridrennen/status/1365077750231437315

Not one single trans person is quoted in this @nytimes article about the Equality Act passing today, but they did give three extreme anti-trans bigots a chance to spread hatred. Do better. 3

Follow the money. Who funded this endowed chair? Who funds his research community (grad students, postdocs)? Who funds his research trips to Japan?

The terms "comfort" and "prostitution" may come in handy. I am just guessing here. Not hard to research, tho.

The New York Times@nytimes

A Harvard professor was widely criticized for writing in an academic journal that the so-called comfort women forced to serve Japanese troops during World War II were willing “prostitutes.”

One South Korean survivor called the remarks a “wake up call.”
