So true , why I don’t understand any war 💕

I saw this "Far Side" cartoon from December 6, 1987, and couldn't believe it was real. But it is. That Gary Larson--he was forty years ahead of his time.

Even Iran is calling it the “Epstein regime.”

Gertrude Caton Thompson (1888–1985), the pioneering English archaeologist and Fellow of the British Academy renowned for her groundbreaking work in Egyptian prehistory (including distinguishing Neolithic cultures in the Faiyum depression) and her 1928–1929 stratigraphic excavations at Great Zimbabwe—which conclusively proved the site's medieval African origins, debunking racist colonial myths attributing it to Phoenicians or other non-African builders—poses in a classic black-and-white studio portrait from her mid-career years. The composed woman gazes directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent expression, her dark hair neatly styled in soft waves typical of the 1920s–1930s. She wears a light-colored blouse or dress with intricate embroidered zigzag and floral patterns along the neckline and shoulders. The soft, neutral dark background and subtle lighting highlight her dignified features and the fine details of her attire, capturing the determined spirit of a trailblazing scholar who advanced rigorous, evidence-based archaeology in male-dominated fields and challenging political contexts.

Archaeologist Gertrude Caton Thompson led the first all-female archaeological expedition in history in 1929.

She was one of the first in the field to use aerial surveys to identify sites, using them successfully for her famed work in Zimbabwe & Egypt. She died #OTD in 1985.

When we talk about artificial intelligence, everyone wants to know if it will surpass the human being. But I wonder something else: can a machine know what it feels like to lose something you love? Can it understand how sadness turns into art, or how a mistake can teach you to love better?

This vibrant mid-20th-century color photograph captures Geraldine “Jerrie” Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 – September 30, 2014), the pioneering American aviator who became the first woman to fly solo around the world. Standing on an airport tarmac beneath a clear blue sky, Mock poses confidently beside the nose of her red-and-white Cessna 180 aircraft, the Spirit of Columbus. She smiles warmly and just off to the right of the camera, her expression radiating quiet pride and joy. Dressed in a tailored teal wool coat with large white buttons and a pink floral corsage pinned to her lapel, she holds a small beverage can with both hands. Her dark, curly 1960s-style hair frames her face.The plane fills the left and upper portion of the frame, its glossy fuselage boldly lettered in white script “Spirit of Columbus” and “AEROPRISE, INC.,” with “CESSNA” displayed prominently on the side. A hangar and a partial figure of a man in a light jacket appear in the background. The overall composition centers Mock and her famous aircraft as equal partners in triumph, creating a mood of celebration, determination, and historic achievement.

#OTD in 1964, “Jerrie” Mock landed her 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 plane in Ohio and became the first woman to fly solo around the world.

Oh no. 😁 I hope it settles down. 🙏

"Purchased" is the key word here, as in already paid for.

Jesse James and John Dillinger had their cheerleaders too. MAGA still thinks they'll benefit from his lawlessness somehow.
