"Don't You (Forget About Me) " by Simple Minds was written especially by Keith Forsey (the same of hits such as the Flashdance theme) and Steve Schiff for the soundtrack of the classic The Breakfast Club (1985).

The Scottish band refused to record the track because it was not their composition and Jim Kerr did not like some parts of the lyrics. Before them, the song was offered to Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music) and Billy Idol, who also did not accept it.

In the end, Kerr's wife at the time, Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), convinced the band to accept, the track is not on any Simple Minds studio album, only on the film's score. It became the biggest hit of their career in the US: #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in May 1985 (the band's only #1 there).

This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe.

Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.

Heart of Glass was created by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein in 1975 as a slow, reggae song called "Once I Had a Love".

The members of Blondie (especially Debbie) were afraid that the "disco" sound would drive punk/new wave fans away from them, but producer Chapman insisted. Result? It became the biggest success of Blondie's career, #1 in the US, the UK and several countries.

Next time you see a pigeon… pause.

That small life has known hunger,
cold nights,
and a world that rarely notices it.

They’re not asking for much—
just a chance to survive.

And sometimes…
a little kindness is enough to change their whole day.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN was released 41 years ago today.

Madonna was cast after impressing filmmakers with her natural screen presence, turning a supporting role into one of the film’s most iconic elements.

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

This view just hits different 🌍

@Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

This just in—more images of Earth from Artemis II! 🤩

This view from @astro_reid shows the divide between night and day, also known as the terminator, as seen from the Orion capsule.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

We grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's just gone. We don't talk about this enough.

This is Fidèle. He's the most photographed dog in the world. He napped on that windowsill over the Groenerei canal in Bruges for over a decade. Tour boats paused so visitors could take photos of Fidèle. He passed away in 2016, but not before making millions of people smile. 14/10
