Listening to The Rest is History’s new series on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and it’s as good as I hoped. Humanizes the guy, reveals the shitbirdery of his family and Hapsburg colleagues, and also explains why his assassination saved millions of birds.
The is a very good listen. One side effect was it enabling historical perspective on seemingly sideshow Republicans as Kristi Noem and Doug Burgum and their Dakota states. (If I was a Dem king. I'd merge N & S Dakota & give the Senators to DC.)
