Daniel Kaluuya would be my pick but he'd never do it. Dev Patel seems an obvious pick. I could see Will Poulter pulling it off. Daniel Radcliffe would be the chaos pick but he'd make a better Bond villain.

Iliamna remota / The Kankakee mallow. Only endemic to one island in the Kankakee river that is less than 1 km long. It was considered extinct until a little over a decade ago and while it’s critically endangered in the wild now, you can buy seeds and plant it in your garden.

I'm thinking of getting a scientific illustration of this plant tattooed on my left arm, as well as a blazing star and maybe an echinacea, with a ribbon around them quoting Lynch "Fix Your Hearts Or Die"

BTW I didn't plant this because it was super rare, I planted it because it's super rare and comes from one island in the Kankakee River, where I have had some memorable canoe trips. This plant was once thought extinct until conservationists did a controlled burn and these sprung up afterwards.

He kept tweeting about it and asking lawmakers on the Hill about it until Republicans personally went to the school and did a PR stunt at the campus
He covers Congress, and took up the issue as an apparent hobby horse to personally shut down the peace demonstrators

You can abbreviate all of the name but if you’re only going to abbreviate 3/4 of it Griffin is one of the words that’s going down to a letter, he didn’t buy the lexicon or the parlance of our times too, he just dumped a bunch of cash on MSI that he should have paid in taxes.

Since this news is reaching folks a bit unfamiliar with the landscape:
NSF=National Science Foundation
HUD=Housing and Urban Development
Here's the NSF building, which is in Alexandria, VA. It was completed in 2017.

Here's the official union statement on the HUD takeover.
Small correction that's not included in the screenshot: "Correction: currently 1,833 NSF employees work in the NSF headquarters building."
