Today, when introducing WWI, a student raised her hand and brought up the death of a certain archduke. Nobody knew his name, so as a hint, I offered that he shares his name with a band. Gentle reader, my students asked if there had perhaps been an Archduke Metallica.

It feels like the core lesson learned about Russian military performance applies to pretty much everything: shiny things are great, but it all comes down to operations, delivery, communication and culture. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Africa's rise from 7% of global population at the start of World War I to a projected 25% by mid-century is nothing short of revolutionary. We have not seen this before. Those numbers have implications beyond Africa and the continent's leadership is yet to fully appreciate it.

The overall sensitivity of Covid detection by trained dogs was 97% and "even reached 100% in asymptomatic individuals" compared to nasopharyngeal swab PCR tests. Overall canine sensitivity vs PCR (97% CI: 91 to 99 versus 84% CI: 74 to 90, p = 0.006), journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

BREAKING: If you're feeling down by the US Supreme Court ruling on regulation of emissions, cheer up with good, amazing news from Brazil: our Supreme Court has just ruled that the Paris Agreement is a human rights treaty. This has enormous implications for future cases. Why? 🧵

this table showing African preferences for national versus ethnic identity shows why the sheer diversity of the continent still confounds many and defies simplistic analysis neither nationalism nor "tribalism" alone are correlated with economic success nor with state capacity
