I shared that War Nerd story, so I guess I did hear of it once upon a time. Not a scrap of recollection.

Not at all relevant to this discussion, but just because I haven't thought of the War Nerd in a long time. One of his blog posts about the genesis of Boko Haram sent me down a giant rabbit hole of reading a bunch of Chinua Achebe's books, which in turn got me reading a ton about decolonialization in general. He could do that. Style and substance all the way down. I miss it.

He does podcasts now. Probably pays him a middle-class lifestyle for the first time in his life.

I hate podcasts.
