The Intelligence from The Economist - Hope for the crest: an Omicron wave hits India

The country has the world’s worst estimated covid-death total—but as another variant takes hold there are reasons for optimism. Mexico’s president has some old-fashioned notions about energy, and his pet legislation would make it both dirtier and costlier. And the Orient Express was itself a murder victim, just one line in a continent-spanning rail network that may yet be revived.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 7: “Vaping on the Job” by Dougie Poole

On this week’s episode Danny and Tyler take it way, way, waaaaay back to the year 2020 and discuss the clever, catchy, and all-too-relatable “Vaping on the Job” by Dougie Poole. Poole is a singer-songwriter living in Brooklyn who approaches country as an experimental music form, often incorporating drum machines and synthesizers into his music. He sings about the financial struggles of young creatives, love in the digital age, and big city living—but don’t be fooled into thinking his music or lyrics are any less country than Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, Dwight Yoakam.

The boys chat about their own methods of escapism while at work, the importance of pooping on the clock, and which of Poole’s lyrics hit them the hardest.

Other Dougie Poole songs recommended by Danny and Tyler include:
“Buddhist for a Couple Days”
“Natural Touch”
“Claire”
“These Drugs Aren’t Working”
“Los Angeles”
“The Who’s Who of Who Cares”
“Toshiba Sky”
“Port Authority Hymn”
(honestly the entirety of his two full length LPs are so great)

In his new book, On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times, he looks at how works of literature – from the Psalms to Albert Camus and Anna Akhmatova – help increase hope and resilience. On Consolation will be Radio 4's Book of the Week from February 7th.

Christopher Prendergast’s Living and Dying with Marcel Proust is the result of a lifetime’s reading of Proust’s masterpiece A la Récherche du Temps Perdu.

However, military success often relied on more mundane things.


In the year 107 BC, a Roman general and statesman by the name of Gaius Marius did exactly such a thing when he overhauled the Roman military. 


Learn more about the Marian Reforms and how they set the stage for the Roman Empire, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Philip J. Deloria, “Becoming Mary Sully: Toward an American Indian Abstract” (U Washington Press, 2019)

Mary Sully was many things: a Dakota woman, an artist, and an American living through a heyday of early celebrity culture in the United States. All of these facets of her life and of her context are present in her art. In Becoming Mary Sully: Toward an American Indian Abstract (University of Washington Press, 2019), Harvard University professor and OAH President (and direct Sully relative) Phil Deloria uncovers Sully's artwork, long tucked away in family attics, and explains why it matters. Deloria argues that Sully's abstract "personality prints" representing various American celebrities of the early 20th century placed her outside the mainstream of the often "primitivist" Native art world of the era. Instead, Sully planted one foot firmly in modernism, while keeping the other rooted in Native art traditions, making her impossible to classify as one thing or another. Deloria tells a remarkably personal and beautiful story of an unheralded master of visual arts gazing into a new American and American Indian future and representing what she sees in vibrant color and intricate patterns, defying easy categorization and expectation.

Dr. Stephen R. Hausmann is an assistant professor of history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.
