My Catalina Sky Survey teammate David Rankin was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Cancer with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when he discovered a potentially hazardous asteroid, 2023 KM5.Rest assured there is no way, on its current path, that 2023 KM5 will impact the Earth in the foreseeable future, however, asteroid hunters will continue to track it to make sure its orbit does not change to make it a threat.

On this week's show we spoke with: —Madeline Feliciano, Nicholas Feliciano's grandmother Joshua Carmoega, Nicholas's uncle, and David Rankin, who is representing them in a lawsuit against the city. In December 2019, Nicholas Feliciano attempted to kill himself and was visibly hanging in his cell for 7-odd minutes before anyone did anything to help him get down. The Board of Corrections just released a report on the incident stating, “the circumstances of this incident are disturbing and starkly illustrate persistent issues in the City's jails.” —Writer and researcher Matt Thomas, the author of the Vulgar Marxist substack and a keen observer of the workings of the judicial machinery here in New York. After steadily trending downward for many years, the population of incarcerated persons at Rikers Island is once again rising even though the majority of detainees have not had a trial. This is due in part to the role of law-and-order judges and the politicians who help them rise through the judicial ranks. —Felicia Singh, D32 Candidate: On Nov. 3rd NYers return to the polls for city elections. The District 32 race in Queens is the last Republican-held district in Queens. The Republican candidate, Joann Ariola, is facing a strong challenge from Felicia Singh, a teacher, educator, daughter of working-class immigrants who ran as a proud progressive in June, presenting a dichotomy in a part of Queens that was solidly conservative in the past.

As the world's largest freshwater ecosystem, the Great Lakes benefit from massive financial investment in restoration and protection activities each year. Yet one unique entity acts as a force multiplier, not by contributing the most dollars, but by targeting funds to emerging and innovative ideas that can yield exponential returns and transformative impacts. That's the approach of the Great Lakes Protection Fund, as discussed in this episode with David Rankin, it's Executive Director. David explains how the governors of the Great Lakes states launched the Fund in 1989 as the first private endowment dedicated to an ecosystem. He also talks about notable accomplishments including reducing the influx of invasive species, developing standards for sustainable forestry, and reestablishing natural flows after dam removals.

David was born in Maryland and now lives with his wife and daughter in Wilmette, Illinois. He is an avid cook, cyclist, sea kayaker and backpacker.
