Nature can be beautiful but also evil. It has brought us the worst pandemic in more than 100 years. What is it about #SARSCoV2 that makes it so nefarious? 1/

I wrote about the new coronavirus itself--where it came from, why it's behaving in the way it's behaving, how it infects and kills, and what the summer might bring. It's early days, of course, but this serves as a rough preliminary portrait of SARS-CoV-2. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Why the Coronavirus Has Been So Successful

We’ve known about SARS-CoV-2 for only three months, but scientists can make some educated guesses about where it came from and why it’s behaving in such an extreme way.

New project: A “Bar Chart Race” animation showing the changing ranks of the 10 biggest cities in the world since 1500. Fascinating to watch giant cities vanish after falling in conquests, and amazing that three UK cities were in the top 8 in the late 1800s.

The Lesson of Black Thought’s Viral Freestyle

The Lesson of Black Thought’s Viral Freestyle

In the combative, Darwinian world of hip-hop, one’s status as an exemplar of the form can be as ephemeral as an M.M.A. title.
