“It just means everything”: Congratulations to the National Teacher of the Year, Leon Smith, a social studies educator at Haverford High School in Havertown, Pennsylvania!

Mr. Smith, who also coaches the school’s freshman basketball team, gets a surprise from a very special basketball legend, whom he’s long looked up to.

The CIA Factbook was discontinued today, depriving students of an essential resource for information about the world.

Spent my morning writing my elected representatives to express disappointment. https://t.co/qCbTMRSdhX

This week we're looking at depictions of the goddess Hathor. Hathor is one of the most popular Egyptian deities, who is worshipped not only in Egypt but also abroad. As a result, there is a lot of information about the personnel who served in her temples, such as this statue here

How did the ancestors of the Navajo and Apache journey the 1,500-plus miles from the Canadian Subarctic to the American desert Southwest? What happened along the way? Archaeologists are excavating and studying Utah's Promontory Caves for answers.

On June 5, 1889, five days after the Great Johnstown Flood, the American Society of Civil Engineers appointed a committee to investigate the cause of the disaster. The committee determined that, even if it had been maintained within the original design specifications, the South Fork Dam still would have failed. However, an analysis published in 2016 confirmed that the lowering of the dam by the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club dramatically reduced its capacity to withstand major storms. This image from the State #Archives shows damage in the aftermath of the flood. - https://t.co/GNQSfN2XOt

Happy 2025, everyone!

At the Tudor court, New Year's Day was cause for celebration & spectacle, as 1 January was the traditional day of gift-giving, as opposed to Christmas

At Henry VIII's court, New Year's Day 1532 was also an opportunity to display both favoritism & malice 🧵
