13th-century marginalia featuring playful bats in the margins of a medieval manuscript.
was wondering why, on Tues Oct 6, so many Eastern European countries were looking up Plague/Black death on Wikipedia, and learned that there was a suspected plague case at a Russian research laboratory (a young woman at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia died after developing pneumonia)
Just discovered a most interesting website telling me what Wikipedia pages a country's people read the most the day before:
- Kazakhstan: Intercession of the Theotokos
- Mongolia: Genghis Khan (lol)
- USA and Australia: Katie Zacharia (no surprises)
- Tuvalu: Toast sandwich
- Kiribati: Tear down this wall! (Ronald Raegan cold war spech)
sheets.works/data-viz/what-e…
what people are reading in Africa:
- Ghana: Ghana
- Egypt: Canis (mammal genus including dogs)
- Somalia: Macrobians (legendary ancient people)
- Lesotho: "I Married a Witch"
- Angola: Naratriptan (migraine medicine)
- Liberia: RP-1 (rocket fuel)
- Madagascar: ChatGPT
- Nigeria and Zambia: Murder of Tupac Shakur

today i learned that data centres using evaporative cooling often use drinking grade (or treated) water because dirty water clogs pipes and grows bacteria
