@beynolds Ben, I don't. It seems there are lots of separate, unlinked efforts underway (in specific fields). There's been talk of the internet archive (OK for website material), using an old […]

This was appended to a recent email I received, and I feel seen:

Just a reminder that if RFK Jr. was named anything else, no one would have heard of him and we wouldn't be dealing with him.
