The deadliest place on D Day on this longest of days, where the sacrifice has been greatest: Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach, where 19 Bedford Boys have died, where more than half of their infantry company has been slaughtered, and where the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan are set.

So many lost already today. More than 900 Americans on just Omaha Beach. Here are the Niland brothers. Their story inspired Saving Private Ryan. See more here: https://t.co/y6G2nmqJbu

Coolio performed Gangsta's Paradise live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on September 5, 1995, along with L. V. and New York Boy's Choir. It was one of the most intense and emotional performances of the track on American TV.

The iconic flute riff of "Down Under" (played by Greg Ham) turned out to be one of the biggest controversies in Australian music history. In 2010, Larrikin Music sued Men At Work on the grounds that they were a literal copy of the children's song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" (1932). The band lost the process and had to pay 5% retroactive royalties from all sales and executions since 1981.

"Hey Ya!" was written, produced and recorded practically alone by André 3000. He played acoustic guitar, keyboards, programmed the drums and did all the vocals (he just didn't play the bass). The video was inspired by the Beatles' historic performance on the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show.

In April 2026 "Mr. Brightside" became the first song in history to reach exactly 500 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. Before that, in 2024, Mr. Brightside had already received the Guinness World Record for being the single by a band/group with the most accumulated weeks on the British chart. And the craziest thing: The track never reached #1.

You Rock My World is from the album Invincible (2001), the last studio album released in life by Michael Jackson (and the first in six years since HIStory). It was the lead single and the last time GOAT reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 during his lifetime (#10 on the Hot 100).

Landing on Omaha Beach, 6:30 AM

June 6, 1944

[Freedom 250 @Freedom250]

On June 6, 1944, ordinary Americans became the guardians of freedom. They crossed an ocean, stormed the beaches of Normandy, and changed the course of history through courage, sacrifice, and love of country.

Eighty-two years later, Freedom 250 remembers the heroes who gave everything so freedom could endure. 🇺🇸

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

On June 6, 1944, our brave Allied forces landed in Normandy and began the liberation of Europe.

On D-Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and valor of the Greatest Generation, who changed the course of history and preserved the precious freedom that is too often taken for granted today.

[Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian @DrHelenFry]

Do please post something today on your X page, in honour of our Allied heroes.

They deserve to be remembered on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

[U.S. Navy @USNavy]

The largest amphibious invasion in human history began in the dark.

At dawn on June 6, 1944, nearly 7,000 vessels carrying 160,000 Allied troops closed in on the beaches of Normandy.

Through courage and sacrifice, they secured a foothold in Nazi-occupied France and began the liberation of Western Europe.

Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day.

2,500 casualties on Omaha Beach today. Over 900 killed. General Omar Bradley stands where they died and reflects years later on the men lost under his command. See more on Substack: https://t.co/EEg00P06y6

The original version of Macarena (1993) was a simple Spanish rumba, it was the Bayside Boys remix (with parts in English) that transformed it into the global phenomenon of 1996.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

One of the greatest speeches of the late 20th century, given on the 40th anniversary of one of the most spectacular days in human history.

Normandy was the spark that led to victory in Europe.

Timelapse of the fight on the Western Front (day by day).

It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. See more at https://t.co/EEg00P06y6
