On this day in 1866, the first transatlantic telegraph cable came ashore at Heart's Content, Newfoundland and Labrador. Over 2,700 kilometres of cable was laid. The next day, a message from England arrived, officially connecting the two continents.
This is a 1866 oil painting by Robert Charles Dudley titled "Landing the Shore End of the Atlantic Cable." It depicts the arrival of the transatlantic telegraph cable at Heart's Content, Newfoundland, on July 27, 1866. A crowd in 19th-century attire cheers on a wooden pier over rocky shallows, with men wading in water to pull a rowboat ashore. A red flag waves from a scaffold on the left, and sod-roofed buildings stand on the pier amid a hilly, cloudy backdrop.

I’m increasingly convinced by the argument China’s decade-long investment to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, and particularly imports, is not only creating a new electrified model that other South countries can benefit from, but is leaving the West behind because it can’t ditch fossil fuels.

Tom Thomson was one of the most influential artists in Canadian history. His career, cut far too short, had a major influence on the Group of Seven. The circumstances of his death are also still debated to this day. This is his story. 🧵1/12
 The photo depicts Tom Thomson in a black-and-white portrait. He is wearing a dark hat tilted slightly to one side and a formal outfit with a bow tie and collared shirt. The image has an aged, sepia-toned appearance, with visible wear and tear, including cracks and discoloration along the edges, suggesting it is an old photograph. Tom Thomson is shown in a side profile, facing to the right, with neatly combed hair visible beneath the hat.

MIAMI — Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old citizen of Canada in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was pronounced deceased by the Miami Fire Rescue Department June 23 at 1:36 p.m. The cause of death is still under investigation.

Noviello was being detained at the Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center pending removal proceedings when he was found unresponsive June 23, at 12:54 p.m. Medical staff responded immediately and began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation, automated external defibrillator shock and called 911.

Noviello entered the United States Jan. 2, 1988, in a legal visa status.
