@rambletastic @guygrossman Ciment’s book is probably the best general history (although mine has more specifics on the war 😅):

@guygrossman Where are you staying? I can give some recs for good Liberian food based on location.
I’ll be back in Liberia next Friday (Oct. 7th) if you’re still around and would like to meet up. I run a solar business in the country.

@IanECox @AirTanzania Just a couple weeks ago I had to take the ferry Dar->ZNZ and then fly to Mombasa. It was the shortest route.

Crops under solar panels can be a win-win, and in dry places, photovoltaic shade can even reduce water use, suggests a recent study. Cherry tomatoes saw a 65% increase in CO₂ uptake, a 65% increase in water-use efficiency, and produced twice as much fruit https://t.co/uDnDawa7lW

What’s the difference between racism in South Africa and racism in America? It comes down to directness. #BetweenTheScenes

One takeaway from this map: most of the “rural” focused startups in E Africa depend on a population density that does not exist elsewhere on the continent.

[@tomcourtright.bsky.social @Tom_Courtright]

Love a good population density map. The rural density of the Great Lakes region is incredible.

@mulagostarr Great idea

Heard bonkers story about a war between dogs and monkeys in India on the BBC this morning. Started when a dog killed a baby monkey, and the town's monkeys rounded up 250 street dogs, dropping them to their death from trees and buildings. https://t.co/KdmdMlt9PS #PlanetoftheApes
