Thomas Edison’s company filmed surfers at Waikiki in 1906, and what they captured may be the oldest surviving footage of surfing ever made. Yes, that Thomas Edison. Edison’s film operation sent cameraman Robert K. Bonine to Hawaii for three months to document life on the islands. He filmed everything from ranches and volcanoes to people swimming at Waikiki. Then, on August 12, 1906, Bonine turned his camera toward surfers riding the waves. The footage was released the following year as Surf Board Riders, Waikiki, Honolulu, H.I. Surfing had already been part of Hawaiian culture for centuries, but this was years before Duke Kahanamoku became an international star and helped introduce the sport to audiences around the world. More than 120 years later, that little piece of film still survives. Have you ever seen surfing footage this old?

Imagine dying in your apartment and more than two years passing before anyone realizes you're gone. That's what happened to Joyce Vincent. Joyce was only 38 years old when she is believed to have died sometime around December 2003 in her small flat in Wood Green, North London. She wasn't discovered until January 25, 2006. Housing officials finally entered the apartment because thousands of pounds in unpaid rent had accumulated. Inside they found Joyce's remains on the sofa. Her television was still on. Christmas presents were nearby. Mail dating back to 2003 had piled up behind the door, and food and medication inside the apartment had expiration dates from that same year. Joyce hadn't always lived an isolated life. Friends later described an intelligent, attractive and socially active woman who had worked in London and once moved in circles where she met people including Nelson Mandela and Ben E. King. Even the question of how Joyce died remains unanswered. Her remains were too badly decomposed to determine a cause of death, police found no evidence of foul play, and the inquest returned an open verdict. Filmmaker Carol Morley later spent years trying to piece together Joyce's life for the documentary Dreams of a Life. More than 20 years later, we still don't know exactly how Joyce Vincent died. How does someone go missing for more than two years without anyone noticing?

In 2017, 13-year-old Nicholas Kedrowitz was sentenced to 100 years in prison after being convicted of killing his two younger siblings. That’s one of those stories where your brain almost struggles to process every part of it at the same time. A crime this horrific… committed by someone still technically a child. Do you think cases involving minors should focus more on punishment or rehabilitation?

The last time the world ever saw Freddie Mercury in public, he walked to a microphone and said four words.. “Thank you… good night.” It was February 18, 1990, at London’s Dominion Theatre. Queen had just received the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, with Brian May doing most of the speaking while Freddie stood beside Roger Taylor and John Deacon. By that point, Freddie had already been living with AIDS for several years, something he kept intensely private while continuing to record with Queen. That night at the BRITs would become his final public appearance. On November 23, 1991, Freddie released a statement confirming he had AIDS. He died the following day at 45. There was no big farewell. No final speech. Just four words. What Queen performance do you remember most?

I honestly thought this story was fake the first time I read it. In 2018, Paul Menchaca of Gilbert, Arizona, was arrested after investigators alleged he spent years pretending to have Down syndrome so he could hire female caregivers to bathe him, change his diapers, and provide other intimate personal care. According to police, the deception was convincing enough that multiple caregivers believed they were helping a vulnerable adult until one caregiver noticed things that didn't add up and contacted his parents, ultimately exposing the scheme. Imagine offering someone your kindness, patience, and care, only to discover you may have been unknowingly pulled into someone else's disturbing fantasy. That's the part of this story that is hardest to comprehend. Why do you think it took them so long to realize something wasn't right?

If Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs disturbed you, then let's take a look at some of the real-life horror behind the character. In 1986, Gary Heidnik began abducting women in Philadelphia and holding them captive inside his home. But the most horrifying part was underneath it. Heidnik had dug a pit into the concrete floor of his basement. Some of the women were chained inside it, sometimes for days. Over several months, six women were held captive in that house and subjected to horrific abuse. Two of them never made it out alive. And from the outside, Heidnik didn't exactly look like the monster living inside that house. He called himself a bishop, operated his own church, and had accumulated considerable money through investments. Then, in March 1987, one of his captives, Josefina Rivera, convinced Heidnik to let her leave the house temporarily. She went straight to police. When officers entered the basement, they found three women still being held captive. Thomas Harris created Buffalo Bill as a composite character, drawing from elements associated with several real killers. Heidnik's crimes became one of the real-life cases associated with the horrifying image of women being held captive in a pit. Buffalo Bill was fiction. Gary Heidnik wasn't. And that basement was real.🤯

You're looking at one of the strongest arguments for divine creation I've ever seen. Scientists call this a “zinc spark”, a burst of zinc released when a human egg is activated, one of the earliest events in the transition from egg to embryo. Think about what follows. From something microscopic begins an incredibly complex biological process that can ultimately produce a human being capable of thought, memory, emotion, creativity, love, and consciousness. Science can explain the mechanisms behind what we're watching. Evolution can explain how biological systems developed over time. But neither changes what I see here. I see extraordinary complexity, order, and purpose unfolding from the very beginning of human development. The more science reveals about how life works, the harder it becomes for me to look at it as blind chance. I see design. I see purpose. I see divine creation. What do you see?

If there is a place in Texas that looks like it was borrowed from heaven for a little while... this might be it. The Upper Nueces River is one of the most breathtaking hidden treasures in the entire state. Crystal-clear spring water, towering limestone bluffs, ancient cypress trees, and scenery so beautiful it almost doesn't seem real. It's the kind of place that reminds you just how incredible Texas truly is. If you've been here, you already know. If you haven't... it deserves a spot at the very top of your bucket list. Hat tip to texas.explorer 🤠

I don't even know where to begin with this one. A fight breaks out on the side of the road, they're holding babies while it's happening, and one of those babies appears to get dropped. They pick the baby back up... and then it happens AGAIN. At some point, whatever you're fighting about has to stop mattering. Those children should have been the only priority. What would you do if you saw this?

Have you ever heard of the "Stairway to Heaven" hidden in Texas Hill Country? Tucked away in Wimberley sits Old Baldy, a limestone hill with 218 stone steps carved into the side of it. Step by step you climb through the trees, and when you finally reach the top, you're greeted with a breathtaking panoramic view stretching for miles. For years people have nicknamed it the "Stairway to Heaven," not because of the climb itself, but because of that moment at the top when everything opens up and you suddenly feel like you've found a place you never knew was there. Where's a place you've visited that you had no idea existed?

If barbecue had a cathedral, this would be it. The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas is home to one of the most iconic open-fire barbecue pits on Earth. Since 1967, brisket, ribs, and sausage have been slow-cooked over live flames in a setting that feels more like Texas history than a restaurant. Some people chase five-star restaurants. I'll take a seat next to an open pit full of smoke, fire, and barbecue. The best barbecue in the world is waiting in Driftwood, Texas. Would you make the trip? 🔥🥩🤠

On November 6, 1971, the United States detonated a 5-megaton nuclear weapon deep beneath Amchitka Island, Alaska. Known as Cannikin, it became the largest underground nuclear test ever conducted by the U.S. hundreds of times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. But there was a reason for a test this massive. Cannikin was the final proof test of the W71, a nuclear warhead designed for the Spartan missile. Its job was to destroy incoming Soviet ballistic-missile warheads at long range before they could reach the United States. The blast was buried nearly a mile underground, yet it was powerful enough to shake the island like a magnitude 7 earthquake and actually lift the ground above it. And that’s what you’re seeing in this footage, not the explosion itself, but the earth reacting to a nuclear detonation nearly a mile beneath the surface.

Just watched an advertisement for grown men wearing VR headsets while a machine strapped around their waist simulates intercourse so they can pretend they’re having a relationship with a women. Read that again slowly.👆 We have officially reached the point where some people would rather plug themselves into a fantasy than learn how to be intimate with an actual woman. The fact that this is being marketed as “innovation” is one of the bleakest things I’ve ever seen. How did this become normalized… and why are so many people acting like this isn’t completely dystopian?

This is one of those things you have to see it to believe it🤯 On November 9, 1970, a 45-foot, roughly 8-ton sperm whale washed ashore near Florence on the Oregon coast. Three days later, the situation was getting worse. The carcass was decomposing, the smell was becoming unbearable, and curious people were coming down to the beach just to see it. At the time, Oregon’s beaches were under the responsibility of the Oregon State Highway Division, so somehow the job of getting rid of an 8-ton whale landed in the hands of highway officials. Assistant District Highway Engineer George Thornton was put in charge of figuring out what to do with something that was far too large to simply haul away. On November 12, reporters and spectators gathered on the beach to watch. KATU reporter Paul Linnman and cameraman Doug Brazil were there recording the whole thing. It did not go according to plan. More than 50 years later, the footage is still almost impossible to believe. What would you have done with an 8-ton whale you couldn’t move?

In May 2016, 15-year-old Karinya “Yaya” Chen was in hospice care in Austin, Texas after years of fighting cancer. She had tickets to see Florence The Machine, but by the night of the concert, she was simply too sick to go. So the people at Hospice Austin reached out to the band. And Florence Welch came to her. Florence and guitarist Rob Ackroyd walked into Karinya’s room and gave her the concert she couldn't make it to. They sang “Shake It Out” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with Karinya singing and harmonizing right alongside them. A few months later, Karinya lost her battle with cancer at just 15 years old. But for one afternoon, none of that seemed to matter. There was just a young girl, one of her favorite singers, a guitar, a room full of people who loved her... and music. Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can become one of the biggest moments of someone's life. This is what being human is supposed to look like.🙏

There’s something Hayden Panettiere once said about Remember the Titans that is especially difficult to hear today. Hayden was only 10 when she played Sheryl Yoast, the real-life daughter of coach Bill Yoast. In an Interview, while talking about the movie, Hayden mentioned that Sheryl had died very young. She was just 34. Hayden was 36. Two young women, connected by a role that introduced so many of us to Hayden more than 25 years ago. Sometimes there really isn’t anything more to say. Rest in peace, Hayden.

In 1964, Anthony Hopkins composed a beautiful waltz called And the Waltz Goes On. It was never performed, and over time the sheet music was forgotten. Nearly 50 years later, his wife found the music and sent it to conductor André Rieu, who arranged for it to be performed in Vienna in 2011. Imagine spending decades believing something you created would never be heard... then sitting in the audience as it comes to life for the very first time. It's a reminder that not every dream happens when we want it to. Sometimes life has its own timing. What's a dream you've held onto, no matter how long it's taken?

This is exactly what people mean when they talk about "Karen" behavior. Sticking your nose into someone else's business and creating a problem where none existed. The delivery driver was simply trying to do his job, but instead of minding her own business, she decided to interfere because she didn't approve. Nobody appointed her the neighborhood authority. What would you have done if someone tried to stop your food delivery?

This looks like it has to be fake. It's not. This is Omar Alhegelan, a professional skydiver with more than 20,000 jumps over a career spanning 20+ years. Most people would be happy just surviving one skydive. He's spent decades mastering it. I understand why skydiving isn't for everyone... but it's hard not to respect this level of skill. Have you ever been skydiving before?

In 1979, a man climbed into a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental and attempted to jump more than a mile across the St. Lawrence River. He had never driven the rocket car before. The stunt wasn't even his idea. Daredevil Ken Carter had spent years developing the car and preparing for the jump near Morrisburg, Ontario, even constructing a massive 1,400-foot ramp. But after years of delays and problems surrounding the project, stuntman Kenny Powers ultimately ended up behind the wheel. On October 5, Powers hit the ramp. The car was supposed to travel more than a mile. Instead, it flew roughly 500 feet before breaking apart and crashing into the river. Somehow, Powers survived, although he suffered multiple broken bones. I understand why people have always been fascinated by daredevils willing to push the limits, but there's something especially insane about getting into a rocket-powered car you'd never driven and pointing it at a 1,400-foot ramp. Would you have gotten behind the wheel?

In 1979, a man climbed into a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental and attempted to jump more than a mile across the St. Lawrence River. He had never driven the rocket car before. The stunt wasn't even his idea. Daredevil Ken Carter had spent years developing the car and preparing for the jump near Morrisburg, Ontario, even constructing a massive 1,400-foot ramp. But after years of delays and problems surrounding the project, stuntman Kenny Powers ultimately ended up behind the wheel. On October 5, Powers hit the ramp.

Michael Jackson made a 39-minute horror film with Stephen King in the 1990s, and somehow an entire generation barely remembers it existed. It was called Ghosts. What started as an idea years earlier eventually became one of the most ambitious projects Michael Jackson ever put on film. Stephen King helped develop the story, and Stan Winston, the legendary special-effects artist behind some of Hollywood's most famous movie creatures, directed it. Jackson didn't just play the mysterious Maestro. He transformed himself through extensive makeup and effects to play five different roles, including the grotesque Mayor who leads a group of townspeople to the Maestro's mansion demanding that he leave. “2 Bad,” “Ghosts” and “Is It Scary” become part of an enormous supernatural dance production filled with practical effects, makeup and choreography. At more than 38 minutes, Ghosts even held the record for the longest music video for years, and in 1997 it received a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival. Everybody remembers Thriller. But how many of you remember Michael Jackson's Ghosts? And how many are seeing this for the first time?

Sammy Davis Jr. was only 7 years old here. Seven. And he already owned the stage. This was 1933, in Rufus Jones for President, Sammy's first appearance on film, performing alongside the legendary Ethel Waters. He'd already been performing with his father and Will Mastin, and even at seven, the timing, confidence and stage presence were already there. Sammy would become one of the great all-around entertainers of his generation — singer, dancer, actor, comedian and eventually a member of the Rat Pack. But here, none of that had happened yet. You're watching him before the world knew who he was. Is this your first time seeing Sammy Davis Jr. this young?

He worked extra hours to buy his daughter the dress she had been dreaming about. Her reaction says everything. In 2018, Pittsburgh father Ricky Smith was already working three jobs to support his family when his 14-year-old daughter, Nevaeha, found the dress she wanted for her eighth-grade formal. At nearly $200, it just wasn’t something he could easily afford. But he knew how much it meant to her, so he picked up extra hours, saved the money and bought it without telling her. Nevaeha thought her grandmother had picked out a dress for her. Instead, her dad surprised her with the exact one she had been wanting. That hug tells the whole story. She knew that dress was more than something pretty to wear to a dance. It was time, sacrifice and a father doing everything he could to make her happy.

Can you guess who this young actor is? This early 1970s commercial was for Safeguard, the antibacterial deodorant soap Procter & Gamble introduced in 1963. Safeguard wasn't just being sold as another bar of soap. The advertising leaned heavily into protection against germs and odor, especially for active families, and commercials like this became part of how the brand built its identity. As for the young man in the commercial, he was still early in his career, taking commercial work and smaller acting roles. The role that would eventually make him a household name was still years away. No cheating and looking it up. Do you know who he is?

Tim Curry was one of those actors you never forgot once you saw him. For some of us, he will always be Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. For others, he was the absolutely terrifying Pennywise in IT, the unforgettable Wadsworth in Clue, or Darkness in Legend. And then there was that voice. The Wild Thornberrys. FernGully. Peter Pan & the Pirates. Video games, animation, stage productions and countless characters where you might not have even realized it was Tim Curry until you heard that unmistakable voice. His career stretched across more than five decades, from the stage to film, television and voice acting. He could be hilarious, sinister, completely ridiculous or genuinely terrifying, sometimes all in the same performance. After suffering a major stroke in 2012, Tim faced a very different life, but he never completely disappeared. He continued doing voice work and making appearances, and in 2025 he was there to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the movie that helped make him a legend, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry passed away Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 80 years old. There are actors who play great characters. And then there are actors who create characters nobody else could have possibly played the same way. Tim Curry was one of those. Rest easy, Tim.🙏 What role will you always remember him for? #TimCurry

Sweatpants. Crocs. Belly out. Running a post driver. This wasn't a construction project. It is a warning label coming to life.🤯
