Episode 3 of the new season of #TheDiplomat features the Treaty of the Law of the Sea. So of course I had to look that up on #wikipedia.
Turns out 15,000 people viewed that article since the episode came out 5 days ago, when its usual daily traffic is 500!

Vraiment surpris de voir qu'ils oubrent encore des Kentucky Fried Chicken.
La dernière fois (voilà 10 ans+) ma conjointe et moi avons été malades. Juste trop gras.

I really miss Rick Mercer's photo challenge, where he posted a photo of a public personality for people to #photoshop. A small, silly pleasure.

Totally unrelated, but here's a photo of U.S. Secretary Howard Lutnick.

That looks like an interesting neighbourhood... Bakersfield, California.
Tagging @partialhistorians.bsky.social, seems like something you would appreciate even though not quite Roman.

Happy anniversary of the Roswell Incident (1848).

Thankfully a portion of those end up on Wikipedia, where volunteers do everything they can to ensure they'll find correct information.

Sun rising behind Montréal's Olympic Stadium this morning. The 75 hec Jardin botanique stretching north of the stadium provide a dark foreground in the heart of the city.

So the owl pictured on old Athenian coins, Athene noctua, is a distant cousin?

I can always count on Old Montréal to get me in the mood for holiday shopping.

The banality of the banality of evil. Banksy exhibition in Montreal.

For some reason, when I saw Teargas Alexander at the Banksy exhibition here in Montreal, I thought @partialhistorians.bsky.social would like that!
