Edward Estlin Cummings, styled as E.E. Cummings, is regarded as one of the most important poets of the 20th century.
He is famous for both his romantic poems as well as his idiosyncratic syntax and spelling. In perhaps his most famous poem, i carry your heart with me, he contemplates love.
The Stack Overflow Podcast - Dropping knowledge with Drupal’s creator, Dries
Dries explains how Drupal began: as a intranet, not internet, message board for his college community. It's now the technology underpinning tens of millions of websites, including some of the biggest in the world.
We get the story behind the name, an accident overlap of language that became the software's iconic mascot. And we talk about the process that allowed this to scale from an open source project shared across a few dorm rooms to something used by massive public companies.
Stay tuned Friday, when we'll publish part two of our chat with Dries.
As always, shout out to our Lifeboat badge winner of the week, for helping to answer the question: Can you use React Native to create a desktop app? As to whether or not you should, well, that's another question for another time.
You can find more about Dries at his website. You can read more about his experience with Acquia here.
Opening Arguments - OA395: The Andrew Was Already Wrong Show!
Today's show takes a deep dive into the Supreme Court, with the theme of "Shame Justice Roberts," and we recorded this... just before Justice Roberts (and, surprisingly, Neil Gorsuch) voted to affirm in the Zarda cases, recognizing that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964's prohibition "on the basis of sex" includes sexual orientation. Andrew was (happily) wrong indeed.
We begin, however, with a discussion of the latest madness coming out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and how Andrew would fight it.
Then, it's time for our Supreme Court roundup, which featured not only Zarda, but a look at the pending gun cases (all of which were denied) and an analysis of the South Bay Pentecostal Church v. Newsom decision permitting California to establish medical restrictions on churches and other places of public accommodation.
After all that, it's time for the answer to #T3BE involving real property!

The Gist - Campaigning Under Quarantine
On the Gist, Trump doesn’t want to confront sins, he would rather perpetuate them.
In the interview, Mike talks with incumbent Rep. Don Bacon from Nebraska’s 2nd District about how Covid-19 has altered his campaign strategy leading up to the election. They also discuss the protesting and looting in Omaha, as well as his recent statement following Gen. Mattis’ piece published in the Atlantic. Having served under him in Iraq, Bacon mostly agrees with Mattis, but says he and his constituents will likely support Trump on several key issues come November.
In the spiel, the Sundees! Our awards for the Sunday shows.

Consider This from NPR - There Is No ‘Second Wave.’ The U.S. Is Still Stuck In The First One
Nationwide, numbers were never trending downward in any big way. Now in some states that are reopening, they are going up. Oregon and Arizona are two of those places. Each state is taking a different approach.
Testing is more available than ever before. Some cities are urging people who don't feel sick to get a test, just as a precaution. But WPLN's Blake Farmer reports some insurance companies won't pay for the cost of a test unless it's "medically necessary."
Due to the pandemic, a lot of states are making it easier to vote by mail. NPR's Miles Parks says this new process could mean waiting a lot longer for elections results come November.

The Allusionist - 117. Many Ways At Once
The Scots language didn’t have much of an LGBTQ+ lexicon. So writer and performer Dr Harry Josephine Giles decided to create one.
Find out more about this episode, the subject matter and the interviewees, at theallusionist.org/manywaysatonce.
Previous Allusionist episodes that go alongside this episode include Oot in the Open, Queer and Two Or More. And Josie has written up a very interesting document about the LGBTQ+ lexicon in Scots which you can read at bit.ly/lgbtscots.
Wishing you all an excellent and kind Pride month.
