Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

On April 7, 1995, DMB debuted #41 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Originally called “41 Police,” it became a fan favorite on Crash. Ever-evolving from 4-minute cuts to 30+ minute jams, it’s seemingly never played the same way twice.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.
To celebrate THE LION KING (1994) turning 30, Jeremy Irons finally performed “Be Prepared” live for the first time ever at the Hollywood Bowl.
A villain song, reclaimed by its original voice, three decades later.
