Everyday #emacs #orgmode task: merge two tables

I'm grading, and want to merge the class list with the list of assignment submissions. Include the two lists as named tables, and a tiny R-snippet will produce a merged table (also named).

Ashby, 28, is a former Scientologist and adult convert to the Russian Orthodox Church. She believes abortion should be illegal, but wildly accessible in “abortion speakeasies.” Ashby’s primary issue is that there’s too much nail art on TikTok. She has a tattoo of J.D. Vance but did not vote in 2024

The $1776 "warrior dividend" that Trump announced yesterday is actually just a renaming of an existing, already authorized military housing allowance.

Shocked.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’
