2,049events after its cutoff

94 historic, 482 major. 743 days of news.

It launched on 31 October 2025, already missing 67 of them. Coverage before 2026 is thin (34 entries for 2024 and 80 for 2025), so this count is a floor.

Its cutoff, October 2024, is before this chart starts: every mark here is news it has never seen.
