@VandyMBB bring back the old hype video before the second half with the newspaper articles.

That one time John McEnroe dressed up on Halloween as John McEnroe.
I love John McEnroe.

And if you bought Football II for $32.88, it was money well spent because it probably still works now. Mattel wasn't screwing around with the quality back then.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth.
Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why.

Imagine the stress relief for enlisted military, trauma surgeons, chefs, firefighters, air traffic controllers, lawyers, to name a few, that often have higher stress and longer hours for less compensation, when they retire? Coaching is a noble profession, but higher profile doesn’t mean higher stress.

MARY POPPINS was released 62 years ago today. One of the most successful of all Disney films, and the movie which made Julie Andrews an overnight star, the behind-the-scenes story is practically perfect in every way…

A room full of incredible storytellers gathered to celebrate narrative art. The Lucas Museum's opening night was truly unforgettable.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis to Trump administration: "Stop undermining the confidence in the elections."

“Live simply that others may simply live.” This well-known phrase challenges us to evaluate how we use the resources God has entrusted to us. But it’s important to recognize that simple living doesn’t automatically benefit anyone else. epm.org/resources/2026/Jun/2…

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

This is absolutely fascinating. In 1977, a 109 year old woman born in 1868 is interviewed about her life.
When asked whether she has ever been on an airplane, she says never, but that she might now because she is “more venturesome.”
When asked about the biggest change she has seen, she replies:
“Everything. Nothing is the same.”
Living from the horse and buggy days to the jet age in one lifetime.
I also love the way she commands the English language. It feels like an art form that has been lost over time.

"God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die"
16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi.
3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank.
Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls.
When asked where his bravery came from, he replied "God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die."
Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under.
Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl.
Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own.
He truly is a hero. 🎖
