There used to be one at the World Trade Center. Before 9/11.

Many calendar apps use roundrects for items which helps for multi-day appointments/events because you can tell which is the start/left edge of the item and which is the end/right edge of the item.
I'm not sure what's displayed if the app shows the middle portion of an event that extends for more than one week - maybe a rectangle, if the rounded corners signify the beginning/ending of an event.

Nor any visible control to quickly take you to "Today".
People who use calendars for work-related purposes typically want work-week focused views.
None of this is new. Which speaks to the people developing/designing this. (Or maybe they have incorporated this but the handful of screenshots aren't exposing them).
They aren't dogfooding this - or if they are - they aren't the power users - people whose typical day have more appointments scheduled than free time.
They need to seek out the power users so their design doesn't preclude use-cases (or at least make them very awkward).
Here's a freebie - for monthly view - the day that is highlighted should get a detailed day view as a sidebar.

You'd still need a Wordstar-like app and a VisiCalc-like app (pref. Lotus 123-like).
VGA adapter means you have to wait until 1987 to run this, otherwise you'd deal with CGA's non-square pixels. EGA support would only be possible in Oct 1984.

the defendant hired a private lawyer, Peter Planetta, who resigned from the Nova Scotia Barrister's Society a few months after the defendant was sentenced.

from https://www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/halifax/appeal-court-qu... :
Klayme’s trial counsel was Peter Planetta, who no longer practises law.

[edit] Since his old lawyer wasn't practicing anymore, Klayme got a new lawyer who discovered the missing underscore.

These train workers in northern Ontario had an intense view of a wildfire up close. I would have freaked out. They're acting like there's a cute animal on tracks.

FTA:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Sunday that laboratory experts re-reviewed sample results in the Taylor Farms cyclospora investigation and concluded the finding should be considered a false positive.
As of Sunday, there were no confirmed positive sample results for cyclospora, the FDA added.
