I’m (finally) reading Sarah Weinman’s SCOUNDREL, her account of William F. Buckley’s crusade to free convicted murderer Edgar Smith, and ran across a fascinating tangent: WFB helped launch the career of science writer and Bozeman resident David Quammen.

#BREAKING: C-SPAN is coming to @YouTube and @hulu this fall! Press Release: C-SPAN.org/YouTubeTV Press Release: C-SPAN.org/Hulu
Ben O'Connell retweeted
For decades, C-SPAN has let Americans see their government in action. At a time when trust in institutions matters more than ever, I’m working to ensure major streaming services carry C-SPAN. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Ben O'Connell retweeted
Big Tech bungled its way into bipartisan fight with the Senate in an amazingly small way. They have refused to add C-SPAN to streamers like YouTube TV, Hulu. Now FCC watching. “Policymakers will not take kindly to unchecked selfishness.” My column. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
