In ancient Mesopotamia, astronomers needed to know the moon’s position, even on a cloudy night.
So they made records and calculations of the moon’s positions and velocity measured in degrees. This record from Uruk or Babylon from the Seleucid period covers 248 days.

When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody.
To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
This is the story of that miniseries.

Knives Out 3: Wake Up Dead Man is excellent. I hope Rion Johnson keeps making these movies into his nineties. It isn’t just a good cozy mystery movie, it is about something, radicalization, misinformation, and tribalism.
Great performances all around, especially Josh O’Connor.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.
