The King's Quarry: How Louis XVI Went from Hunter to Hunted

news.ycombinator.com George Dillard 2025-10-21 11:52:47

Marie Antoinette on the hunt ( Public domain ) One of the most famous diary entries of all time consists of a single word: rien, which is French for “nothing.” It’s what King Louis XVI recorded on July 14, 1789, the day the Bastille was stormed. This entry (or lack thereof) is often cited as evidence of the king’s disinterest in the brewing revolution. The standard narrative about Louis is that he was simply not up to the task of dealing with the forces that threatened his throne. As a second

Tony Gilroy Is Very Sad at How Relevant ‘Andor’ Has Become

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-05 21:30:11

When Tony Gilroy began his Andor journey, his original pitch was deemed “pretty mad and undoable” by Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner revealed how that initial take would later get revisited after Lucasfilm gave it some thought. “They came back to me and said, ‘We looked at this memo from a year and a half ago, and it makes a lot more sense to us now,'” he recalled. That, of course, led to a series expanding on the very foundation t

Read the Script to One of the Best Episodes of ‘Andor’ and Experience Greatness

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-17 16:45:26

One of the few rare issues with Andor being as good as it is is that we’re not getting more of it, in any format—but one that especially stings is that we came so close to being able to look at the scripts behind the smash-hit Star Wars series. We were on the verge of greatness, as a certain Imperial director would’ve put it, in 2023 when Tony Gilroy and Lucasfilm announced that season one’s scripts would be published online, only for them to never arrive.

A joint Egyptian-British archaeological project near Luxor found the tomb of Thutmose II, making it the first royal tomb to be unearthed since the discovery of Tutankhamun in 1922. When British archaeologist Howard Carter opened Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, he would have been shocked to learn that another royal tomb wouldn’t be discovered for over 100 years—but that’s exactly what happened. Now, archaeologists in Egypt have officially announced the discovery of the long-lost tomb of Pharaoh Thut
