My latest for @ForeignPolicy about the end of the Rif War and how the memory still lingers.

A century later, the meaning of Abd el-Karim and the Rif Rebellion is still up for grabs. https://t.co/T6KuDkcpJG

@KYCooperrider Which firm was it?

Wrote something about my re-read of the Foer book and how it didn't really anticipate any of the major global dynamics of soccer over the past 20 years.

A delightful essay from @ghcornwell looking back at How Soccer Explains the World two decades on:

@dcsportsbog Then that’s on you bc I’m quite sure we’ve never hit any of them

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

@Beanie0597 Absolutely, thats really awful. And I think we prob agree on a lot of curricular / pedagogical changes that would improve this. Less oversight over where the money goes doesn’t seem like the answer though.

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

@Beanie0597 It seems disingenuous to claim that each parent will have equitable “choices” available to them, whether due to geography or means. But I would be happy to learn how that isn’t the case.

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

@Beanie0597 I would love to see a plan that offered parents in failing school districts to choose alternatives that met basic criteria or at least had some kind of oversight. I have no idea why wed give away public education money to absolutely any person or entity claiming to teach kids.

Atlanta Falcons you get a RT for this gem

Tough week to be a Yankees fan

@Beanie0597 @ChuckyJoe3 lol it’s that easy

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

@AllanLichtman Can you explain why they are shifting

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

Great thread on 70 years since the Algerian Revolution, which, honestly, we probably underrate in terms of its influence on how we think of revolution and insurgency.

@WebBarr 🤔

@jameslaudensla4 @atensnut They do not. Same thing in Lex.

@tichenor4ky (Thx for the thoughtful reply, by the way)

[Graham Cornwell @ghcornwell]

@tichenor4ky But it also offers no checks on how the money could be used. I think there are legitimate concerns about public funds going wherever with no real oversight. I get that that’s the next leg step but frankly I’m not sure I trust the leg to make a sound decision there.

@KYCooperrider You’re talking specifically about solar in Fayette.
