Nothing says jolly ole England like being in a 200 year old pub, enjoying a pint, while that 1997 classic, “ getting’ jiggy wit it blasts from the speakers”

On Christmas Eve remember to take a Lexus out for a 24-hour test drive and park it in your neighbor's driveway with a giant bow on it.

This is 23-year-old Bobbi Gibb in 1966, right after becoming the first woman to run the Boston marathon.

A few months earlier, Gibb had received a letter in the mail, disqualifying her for the marathon. The letter stated that women are "not physiologically able to run a marathon." The Amateur Athletics Union even went as far as prohibiting women from running more than 1.5 miles (2.4 km), and the organizers of the Boston Marathon did not want to "take the liability" of having a woman compete.

However, the rejection letter only emboldened her. On the day of the race, Gibb showed up wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt over a black swimsuit and her brother's Bermuda shorts. She hid behind a bush near the starting line and waited. When the starting gun fired, Gibb waited some more until about half the runners had passed. She then jumped in and blended into the pack.

However, it wasn't long before the men saw that she was a woman. To her surprise, she was not met with hostility but with encouragement and support. She removed her sweatshirt and finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes and 40 seconds, beating two-thirds of the runners.

Diana Chapman Walsh, who later went on to become the President of Wellesley College, recalled that day many years later: "That was my senior year at Wellesley. As I had done every spring since I arrived on campus, I went out to cheer the runners. But there was something different about that Marathon Day-like a spark down a wire, the word spread to all of us lining the route that a woman was running the course. For a while, the 'screech tunnel' fell silent. We scanned face after face in breathless anticipation until just ahead of her, through the excited crowd, a ripple of recognition shot through the lines, and we cheered as we never had before. We let out a roar that day, sensing that this woman had done more than just break the gender barrier in a famous race..."

None of these flies I'm killing have street smarts. I'm worried they were born inside.

Do you think there’s a lost and found vending machine at night clubs in Florida called “Miami found machine™️”? If not, missed opportunity all around.

Because of @Roelkonijn I spent a good 15 min of a history movie yelling “where’s your ditch!” And pretending I understood how to tactically use archers.

This went on well over 8 times and long story short, I’m no longer invited to movie night at my parents

My dad, who died last month, was a freelance camera man. He shot interviews with many celebrities—the Dalai Lama, Monica Lewinsky, Gorbachev, Ludacris, Jane Goodall, many more. Exactly one took the time to learn his name, strike up a yearslong relationship. Deeply appreciate this

@MURALSupport it may be user error, but is there any reason why doing undo removes work permanently and it can’t be recovered?

We’ve lost countless work hitting command z because of this

While MTV’s Daria gave us all so much, let’s not forget this joke they casually tossed out in 2001 - “You’re as funny as a case sensitive search engine”.
