@HiddenHistoryYT @EchoesofWarYT Wow, the sheer scale of that fleet is absolutely staggering. A monumental display of courage and coordination on D-Day. Lest we forget

@wydsilent Yinka Dare. And yes, I used grok for help.

@BasedMikeLee Hard to say, but we’d definitely be unburdened by what has been: secure borders, cheap gas, a coherent border czar, and sentences that don’t require subtitles. The cackling would be presidential though

@TodayinHistory Crazy to think that spot went from British claim to becoming the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver’s maps basically defined the region we know today.

@PopcornPost_ The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) → The Two Towers (2002) → The Return of the King (2003)

22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.

He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.

Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

This is one of the oldest wooden doors in Britain

Carved with a Viking longship, figures of Adam and Eve, and dragon-headed iron hinges, the "Viking Door" has hung in St Helen's Church in Yorkshire for nearly 900 years.

@Manhattva Hollywood is totally running on fumes right now. It’s all endless sequels and CGI slop.

@EmmaUber7 @CityCast_DC Good to know! For a second there, we thought the Lincoln Memorial was transitioning into the world’s longest, most historic community pool.

@JamesLucasIT Lincoln before the Civil War: tall, strong, full of fire.
Lincoln after: gray, exhausted, but unbreakable.
4 years of civil war aged him like 20. The man carried a broken nation on his back and paid for it with his life. Absolute legend. 🫡🇺🇸
