2,060events after its cutoff
98 historic, 490 major. 866 days of news.
It launched on 14 April 2025, already missing 34 of them. Coverage before 2026 is thin (34 entries for 2024 and 80 for 2025), so this count is a floor.
Its cutoff, June 2024, is before this chart starts: every mark here is news it has never seen.
