This is one of the cutest photos humanity has ever come up with. If we ever send photos to potential alien planets, this should be one of them.

I didn’t know Jimi was in the US Air Force or whatever it’s called there! A man of many talents 😊

“In 1918, the French awarded Johnson with a Croix de guerre with star and bronze palm. He was the first U.S. soldier in World War I to receive that honor. Johnson died poor and in obscurity in 1929. There was a long struggle to achieve awards for him from the U.S. military. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart in 1996. In 2002, the U.S. military awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross. Previous efforts to secure the Medal of Honor failed, but in 2015 he was posthumously honored with the award. On May 24, 2022, The Naming Commission recommended that Fort Polk in Leesville, Louisiana, be renamed Fort Johnson after Henry Johnson, rather than its previous namesake, Confederate General Leonidas Polk. The post was renamed in Johnson's honor in a ceremony on June 5, 2023.”

The cat's out of the bag on this one.

Aw she’s adorable, those glasses and her smile and her little froggy are so cute 🥰

For non-North Americans who may not know: “Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and social activist. After escaping slavery, Tubman made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known collectively as the Underground Railroad. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the movement for women's suffrage.”

Gosh he’s handsome 😅🤭

In January 1943, a brick "hive" was built around Michelangelo's David to protect it from incendiary bombs. Two and a half years later, preservationist Deane Keller wrote to his wife, "The bright spot yesterday was seeing Michelangelo's David at length divested of its air raid protection. It was dusty and dirty but it was a great thrill." (From Ilaria Dagnini Brey, The Venus Fixers, 2010.)

Around my boyfriend’s house (we are temporarily doing the LDR thing) there’s a wooded area we like to take his dog for a run and smoke doobies. It’s near some train tracks, and there’s a guy who goes there to play his trumpet. He’s SO GOOD - we love to bring a joint and the dog and blaze while listening to Trumpet Guy 😊 bless anyone that plays music in public, it’s very much appreciated

Ah can see ma hoose from here!

I'll bet you a tenner his name was Winston....

A bit to the left under the armpit, George, thank you.

The shock and numbness in his eyes is obvious. I would probably be the same after seeing first hand the cruelty and hate humans are capable of to each other.

He yam what he yam

You can't park there mate.

“On October 23, 1956, around two hundred thousand Hungarians gathered in Budapest to demonstrate in sympathy for the Poles who had just gained political reform during the Polish October. The Hungarians broadcast sixteen demands over the radio, one of them being the dismantling of Stalin’s statue. A hundred thousand Hungarian revolutionaries demolished the Stalin statue, leaving only his boots, in which they planted a Hungarian flag.“ Heck yeah Hungarians ❤️🇭🇺

Wood you believe it! Probably just lumbering on when it was stopped.

“Wadlow's height was 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) while his weight reached 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone (HGH).” It’s sad he died so young!

And not a single cellphone in sight!

This only existed in the Sanatorium schools. If you had an illness like tuberculosis, you were sent there to recover. Children would of course have to go to school. Hence they were schooled outside weather permitting. Otherwise in a classroom with all windows open. Fresh air was part of the treatment, besides antibiotics.

"I hope I don't have to wait too long for my turn. "

Poor kid, in every way

And now he’s twitching in his grave because Musk is tarnishing his name with his garbage products and ideology

MOOnshiners....

As someone who used to own horses - holy fark that is a big boy 😳 “Brooklyn "Brookie" Supreme (April 12, 1928 – September 6, 1948)[a] was a red roan[4] Belgian stallion noted for his extreme size. Although disputed, the horse may be the world record holder for largest (but not tallest) horse and was designated the world's heaviest horse. He stood 19.2 hands (198 cm (6 ft 6 in)) tall and weighed 3,200 lb (1,451.5 kg) with a girth of 10 ft 2 in (3.10 m). Each of his horseshoes required 30 in (76 cm) of iron.”

No jokes on this one. Bloody horrifying.

On Saturday, July 28, 1945, Lieutenant Colonel William Franklin Smith Jr., of Watertown, Massachusetts, was piloting a B-25 Mitchell bomber on a routine personnel transport mission from Bedford Army Air Field in Massachusetts. Due to thick fog, the aircraft was unable to land at LaGuardia Airport as scheduled. The pilot requested to divert to Newark Metropolitan Airport in New Jersey. Smith asked for clearance to land, but he was advised of zero visibility. Proceeding anyway, he became disoriented by the fog and turned right instead of left after flying dangerously close to the Chrysler Building on East 42nd Street.

The coolest looking train ever

"JENKINS! Release the hounds. "

I thought they were kissing at first lol ❤️

"A. Beato" is Antonio Beato. He was the brother of Felice Beato who worked with James Robertson at Robertson's photography studio in Istanbul in the 1850s. Antonio ended up in Egypt in 1860, setting up a studio of his own in Thebes in 1862.

Watch the Sharpe TV series - about the only thing with Sean Bean in where he doesn't die.

"A Dwarf, a Giant, and a Fatman walk into a bar. The bartender says..."

Such a shame to have lost it.

And their other cousin Willie of Germany also looked very alike

Getting some dating tips, no doubt.

That's a lot of sandbags.

He looks normal - so just weird on the inside.

In hignsight even at 3 million dollars it would have been a bargain.

“In 1957, the US military tested the use of blimps to deliver nuclear weapons as part of Operation Plumbbob, a series of nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site….The most significant test of the project was carried out in August 1957. The test, called Shot Stokes, involved detonating a nuclear weapon while the airship hovered about 300 feet off the ground and over 40,000 feet from the detonation point. Even at that distance, the result was rather conclusive.”
