 Ep 274: Allison (@allisonkilkenny) recs: Rothaniel, Severance, and Peacemaker.  In bad news: NYPD botched protocol in the wake of the subway shooting (why is their budget $10 million+ again?), and it was a Syrian immigrant — not the cops — who finally ID'd the shooter leading to his arrest. Also, Elon tries to buy twitter, and conservatives continue to attack abortion rights. In good news: Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson sworn in as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, Biden signs USPS reform bill into law, QAnon followers are pivoting to MLM schemes, and a former Virginia police offer who stormed the Capitol is found guilty on all charges.
