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.

Covid has taught us how stupid we are.

Well, actually, Covid *demonstrated* how stupid we are. Didn't teach us. We're still dumb as a pile of old bricks.

A black American providing refuge and security to a white, British royal is as poetic as it is full of grace. @tylerperry

It remains odd having had to answer "yes" when asked if I worked in a setting with a high risk of COVID-19 transmission because I worked in THE WHITE HOUSE.

This is shameful. https://twitter.com/bluestein/status/1369038820470063110

The Georgia Senate just passed a sweeping elections measure that would severely limit who could vote by mail, a response to Democratic victories in November and January that critics say amounts to voter suppression. It passed with 29 votes — the bare majority. #gapol

I considered not saying anything about this because I’m aware I won’t make myself popular with my peers but i’m just going to stand up and say it: I don’t agree with statement from my industry body that it is “untrue that sections of UK press were bigoted” https://www.societyofeditors.org/soe_news/uk-media-not-bigoted-soe-responds-to-sussexes-claims-of-racism/

Trip Gabriel @tripgabriel·

No-excuse absentee voting was passed by the GOP-led Leg in GA in 2005. It was aimed at getting more Rs to vote. After 2020 when more Ds voted absentee, suddenly the Rs are trying to end it. This is voter suppression under the spurious guise of ‘election integrity.’ https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1368987482881163270

Happening now: The Georgia Senate is taking up SB 241, the omnibus voting bill that would end no-excuse absentee voting, among other provisions. #gapol
