A full-circle moment in Clemson! The last to play it in 1999—and the first to bring it back to Death Valley 27 years later. Thanks to all the fans for making it something special!

You are looking into the eyes of a soldier who fought under George Washington during America's War of Independence.

William Hutchings (1764-1866) was one of the last living veterans of the Revolutionary War when his photograph was taken in 1864.*

He not only witnessed America's independence, but also its Civil War.

🚨#BREAKING: Watch as twin tornadoes emerge from an extremely large, life-threatening tornado currently on the ground

📌#Braman | #oklahoma

At this time, the National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Warning for northern Oklahoma. A confirmed, life-threatening tornado is on the ground, with reports of twin tornadoes actively causing damage near Braman, Oklahoma. This is an extremely rare and serious designation, indicating a high risk of catastrophic destruction. Authorities warn that this is a large and extremely dangerous tornado capable of devastating impacts. If you are in the affected area, TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. This is a rapidly evolving and highly dangerous situation.

This is absolutely fascinating. In 1977, a 109 year old woman born in 1868 is interviewed about her life.

When asked whether she has ever been on an airplane, she says never, but that she might now because she is “more venturesome.”

When asked about the biggest change she has seen, she replies:

“Everything. Nothing is the same.”

Living from the horse and buggy days to the jet age in one lifetime.

I also love the way she commands the English language. It feels like an art form that has been lost over time.

Tomorrow, we launch.

At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century.

The next era of exploration begins.

Robert Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s eldest son, was present at 3 of the 4 presidential assassinations and was the only one of Lincoln’s 4 children to survive past 18 and outlive both parents...

The trauma of his father’s murder in 1865 shaped him deeply but his proximity to presidential death did not end at Ford’s Theatre. In 1881 he was standing just feet away from President James Garfield when Garfield was shot inside a Washington DC railway station. And in 1901 he was in Buffalo when President William McKinley was assassinated at the Pan-American Exposition. After that third event he famously refused future presidential invites saying in effect that tragedy seemed to follow him.

And there is another surreal twist. Years before Lincoln was murdered Robert Todd nearly fell between a moving train and the platform. A stranger reached out and pulled him to safety. That man was Edwin Booth. The brother of John Wilkes Booth.

Released in 1966, "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield captured the restless spirit of a generation grappling with social upheaval, yet its message still resonates today.

Nate Bargatze's "Washington's Dream" on SNL is the funniest history lesson you'll ever get.

George Washington reveals America's future: Rejecting metric for pure chaos—

• 12 inches = foot
• 3 feet = yard
• 5280 feet = mile ("a silly number you'll remember")
• 16 ounces = pound
• 2000 pounds = a "ton"

Deadpan genius. Confused troops. Revolutionary mic drop.

This is why we won independence. 🇺🇸😂

Tom Hanks was originally asked to perform every role in The Polar Express (2004). It was too exhausting — so he ended up playing six characters instead.

The film holds a Guinness World Record as the "first all-digital" capture movie.

🌌🧠 It’s mind-blowing to realize that brain cells and the universe share a striking similarity in their network structure. Both are made up of countless nodes — neurons in the brain and galaxies in the universe — connected by delicate filaments. The brain contains around 86 billion neurons, while the universe holds at least 100 billion galaxies, woven together in a vast cosmic web. Yet, despite this visual and structural resemblance, they’re worlds apart in composition and purpose. The universe is dominated by dark energy and dark matter, while the human brain is mostly water. The brain processes information and thought, while the universe’s filaments transfer energy and matter across unimaginable distances. It’s a beautiful reminder that patterns repeat themselves — from the smallest neuron to the grandest galaxy.
