David Axe lambasts the F-35.
Cheryl Rofer recalls her trip to Semipalatinsk.
A map of confirmed US-backed coups.
Seth Masket holds up the ‘tweets predict congressional winners’ paper as an example of how scholars should not publicize their research.
David Herter announces the completion of volume one of his new trilogy. His first book, Ceres Storm, is the best science-fiction novel that you’ve likely never read, and I’d rank it in the very top-tier of SF books.

That’s all, folks.
