TIL on @Wikipedia that OTD in 878 the city of Syracuse fell during the #Muslim conquest of the island of Sicily, then part of the #ByzantineEmpire. 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_Sicily

The kicker was in the list of belligerents; the #Byzantine Empire has assistance from #Venice but the Aghlabid Emirate of Ifriqiya had assistance from (checks notes) the Duchy of #Naples ! 🤔

Never underestimate ‘turf wars’ between factions after #schisms in #Christianity -for-profit!

AST Night Crew, I have an early morning tomorrow and I have to deal with some spatially inverted tetryon particles before I feel safe in bed. I hope they distract me from thinking about Uhura with a bare midriff. Youza! Carry on with DS9 and beyond. Good night!

Great, Data. Now you know how I experience time often during the day.

Absolutely. I plan to disinvite Riker to any of my poetry readings.
