Verified entries only -- if we cannot stand behind it, it is not here, and we never guess a close date.

Get Friday's list, free →This page does not ping you and does not track what you click. It is a pull surface on purpose -- no alerts, no notifications. The way to stop finding out a day too late is the Thursday list.
Everything here is real and every close date is its own stated date, read from the Fleeting. discovery crawl and shown with its source link. Unconfirmed windows are held off the radar entirely, and dates that do not read cleanly are shown as "on watch" rather than guessed. Want the narrowed daily read instead?
