I recently had the pleasure of being in the Naval Museum in Cartagena. When the tour guide got to the section of the museum featuring Vernon's attempted takeover of the city, I was ecstatic. I was like, "I know about this! George Washington's brother fought in that battle!" Thanks to Mike I can be THAT guy on history tours now lol.

The author had nice, if somewhat demure, things to say about Mike Duncan. I absolutely love his Revolutions podcast and find his series on the French and Haitian revolutions to be particularly fun and interesting.

They also denied threatening to sue the Guardian over its coverage of Cambridge Analytica. Then admitted it was true and apologized saying it, "wasn't their wisest move."

I like the idea of companies testing competency in a language other than the one they are looking for as a measure of fundamentals

I'm a big fan of the History of Rome podcast and the occasional narratives into Palmyra were always some of the most fascinating. Sad to see what has happened there.
