Iran Edition
World Careful Driver Day leads today's complete edition for Iran.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for buses, taxis, rideshare cars, delivery vans, trucks, bicycles, scooters, and everyone trusting strangers on the road.
The longest night of the year, celebrated with family, poetry, and red foods: watermelon, pomegranate, and dried fruit. The red foods represent the crimson hues of dawn and the life-giving properties of the sun. The poetry is from Hafez, and the divination is done by opening his Divan to a random page and reading the first poem. The omen is interpreted, the pomegranate is eaten, and the longest night does not feel long at all.
