French botanist and explorer Jeanne Barret was born #OTD in 1740.
She is best known for being the first woman to circumnavigate the globe with Bougainville's expedition on the Boudeuse and Ătoile from 1766 to 1769. Disguised as a man, under the name Jean Barret, she enlisted as a valet and assistant to the expedition's naturalist, Philibert Commerson, shortly before the expedition's ships weighed anchor. According to Bougainville, she was an expert in botany.

French writer and historian Hilaire Belloc was born #OTD in 1870.
His notable works include "The Path to Rome" (1902), a travel book about his journey on foot from central France to Rome, and his biographies of historical figures like Oliver Cromwell and Joan of Arc. He is also remembered for his humorous verse, especially his collection of childrenâs poetry, "Cautionary Tales for Children" (1907), which includes famous poems such as "Matilda" and "Jim".
Congratulations! You wrote a couple paragraphs on Hilaire Belloc without mentioning Chesterton, even once! đ
(I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that.)

Being a convicted pedophile and child rapist doesn't either.
This is how the western civilization is showing their moral superiority.

Notice printed in the Pennsylvania Journal, or Weekly Advertiser, July 26th, 1759:
("By Permission" meant that they had obtained license from Governor William Denny to perform a play, despite heavy opposition from Philadelphia Quakers. The "Theatre on Society Hill" - which the company had built themselves - was technically just outside the city limits.)

CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm behind last week's epic global computer meltdown â seemingly the largest IT outage in history â is offering its partners a hilariously inadequate mea culpa: a $10 Uber Eats gift card in apology.It's a hilariously inadequate gesture for a slip-up that cost Fortune 500 companies more than $5 billion in direct losses, according to a new analysis by insurance firm Parametrix, and forced countless IT professionals to work around the clock over the weekend.
Adding insult to injury, at least some of the gift cards were "canceled by the issuing party" and were "no longer valid," according to TechCrunch.
