@gutenberg_org From the Wikipedia page: "World Book and Copyright Day...is an annual event organized by [the] United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to promote reading, publishing, and copyright."

I'm all in on the former two planks and 100% opposed to the latter plank. Copyright chills the spread of knowledge. Sounds like the publishing cartel got UNESCO to promote their propaganda.

"Copyright is brain damage."

🕰️ Archives & Public Domain
For those who love the "golden age" and silent films:
• WikiFlix: browse public domain films hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
• Internet Archive: you know that, it's like the wild west of cinema. Everything from film noir to silent expressionism is parked here for eternity. Might need a good digging attitude.

📌 Many of these sites operate on a "rotating" basis (films stay up for 30 days, or more). Sign up for their newsletters so you don't miss the good stuff.

Do you have any favorite "secret" place to watch great movies?

Updated my journal!
2025 was a pretty intense year for me, and so I didn't manage to update my photo collection for a whole year.

Over 2500 new photos, featuring flowers, pictures from a long-hike through Italy, the french Coast, and from a deep Winter. As always, all under a open license. Enjoy!

The new pictures start at:

"Scheduled for completion next year, the castle will presumably — as long as the skills of its builders prove equal to those of their forebears — still be standing in the 29th century."

How To Build a 13th-Century Castle, Using Only Authentic Medieval Tools & Techniques

It's the rare Englishman who will readily defer to a Frenchman — except, of course, in the field of castle-building. This was true after the Norman Conquest of 1066, which introduced French castles to Britain, and it remains so today, especially under the demands of period accuracy.
