Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.
Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

In the process of filming a coyote doc with PBS, I met some awesome community coyote scientists, including Wee Man from the “Jackass” franchise - who, it turns out, is a huge fan of coyotes and very knowledgeable about his local ‘yote pack. You never know who you’ll meet in community science!

The phrase "according to law and regulations" establishes the legal requirement for service members to obey only lawful orders. Just because the President puts out an order, doesn't make it Lawful!!
