Worth a read (and great cover art)
My first essay of 2026 continues my read through of Thomas Burnett Swann's 16 historical fantasy novels.

Not every hero wears a cape.
Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩
