This is Minik.
It’s 1897, and in this photo, he’s around 7 years old.
But little does he know -
His life will soon tragically take a turn for the worse, all because of a North Pole explorer and a New York City museum.
A story:
Skip to 0:34 and watch if nothing for Tom Conti’s reaction. Every bit of this is truly unbelievable, in every sense of the word.

Surprised this strategy didn’t work out for Uber.

It takes a very strange person to buy pre-workout called “Green Gelatin” and that very strange person is me.
Never has sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Al Khail FELT SO GOOD
Dubai: Traffic "near DIFC recovered to about 90% of pre-war levels before slipping in August during the school break"
"The rebound was slightly more muted around Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina, likely because those areas are more dependent on tourism"

Producers are running out of good hope…quite literally.
Get a quote for an in-ground pool from these guys and you might get a whole lot more. – at Altea, Spain
(Mildly) interesting equipment at a hotel gym in Altea, Spain:
1) a treadmill seemingly from the communist era
2) a bench for which a protractor was surely used
3) a plate made before 2.5kg plates were standard?

Easily a 12,000+ nautical mile trip. And certainly not the last of its kind…
🟥WOOOOOW!
A VLCC carrying more than 2 million barrels of Saudi crude is heading to South Korea the long way — around Africa.
That voyage is roughly twice as far as the usual Red Sea/Bab Al Mandab route, adding about 30 days.
The tanker was only partly loaded, apparently by ship-to-ship transfer off Saudi Arabia’s western ports. It then sailed north and transited the Suez Canal. A fully loaded VLCC cannot cross Suez. It finished loading Saudi crude at Sidi Kerir (Egypt, see red arrow) then set course for South Korea.
Map from @kpler. I added the white line, the two red arrows and the red circle.
The Gulf is within an eight-hour flight of ~75% of the world's population.
Not doubling down on this geographic tailwind (pun intended) and being best-in-class for those in transit would be silly.
Two trekkers in the Rwandan jungle, a camera, and finally — irrefutable evidence that it’s not just me who eats like a “damn animal”:
Today I learned there's a university in Punjab called Lovely Professional University...
And lovely and professional it is! LPU is among the top 50 universities in all of India.
