🥚 Preston's great egg rolling tradition, captured forever. In 1901, the pioneering filmmakers Mitchell & Kenyon turned their camera on the crowds gathered for Preston's famous Easter Monday egg rolling. Thousands packed the hillside, in Avenham Park smiling, waving, and enjoying one of Lancashire's most cherished traditions. Children would...

Tucker Carlson uses Woodstock ‘69 as a snapshot of American societal decline, arguing that even the degen stoners of the baby boomer era looked healthier, happier and better off than young Americans today "Can you imagine? 4 or 5 hundred thousand American 18 year olds plucked at random from cities across the country in a field this summer...57 years after Woodstock. Can you imagine what they would look like with their shirts off?..Can you imagine what their faces would look like?" "You know, we could make a detailed case based on the statistics...pick the biggest generation in American history, the baby boom...you know the average age at which people had babies in...1969? Women had babies in the United States on average the age of 20. How'd they do that?" "Maybe a more telling picture of what life was like in, let's just pick that same year, 1969, is an actual picture from 1969. Let's pick the biggest event that year in the United States." "The first thing you notice, what's the first thing you notice? Well, the complexion of the skin 90% white, but after that the first thing you notice is you can see the ribs on almost every single person at that event. These are thin fit people with muscle definition and not a single hint of what we call now a love handle...In fact, it's probably not even the healthiest cross-section of American society in 1969. These were the drug users of 1969. These were the party people." "And yet even the stoners in 1969 looked, well, fit, trim, and happy." "You can't look at those pictures and thousands more like them on the internet of this country before this era that we're living in now and say the people are better off. They're gravely worse off, and you can see it in their faces and in their tattoos and in their piercings and in their demeanor... So if you cared about them, you would consider that a tragedy."

“Liam was … we spent a lot of time together and we were together a few weeks before he passed away. […] •An acoustic version of “Through the Dark” was what I wanted to do [at the Grammys]. And that was the plan for a little while to do that separate from Immemorium. And then sadly, the artist I had in mind couldn't make it. […] •We like half filmed a video many years ago called ‘Infinity’ and we never finished the video because […] the boys changed their mind and they decided to go with another single [‘History’]. […]So we had these like this half video of like two hour shoot. So for years the fans have always been going, ‘when's the Infinity video?’ ‘We want the Infinity video.’ But it never existed. There never was one. […] We like took a bit from ‘This Is Us’. We took a bit from the Where We Are Tour at San Siro. And then we took a little bit from Wembley Stadium. And then also from that Infinity video that's never been seen. So people could just see like his joy and love for life. There was so many clips, but he's just laughing and like loving life and like enjoying it and looking at the camera. And like, if you look at it, the consistency of every single one of those clips is significant because he's looking over Verona and celebrating with his hands in the air and smiling. And then he's looking at Wembley Stadium, he's smiling, and then San Siro and he's laughing. And then we're doing the Infinity video and he's laughing. And like, that was really beautiful just to show across the period of like a few years, his joy and kindness and love for life.” - Ben Winston about Liam’s Tribute at the Grammys, Rolling Stone Music Now

This Day (April 23) in 1938: Nazis Turned Vienna’s Beloved Prater Amusement Park Into a Site of Public Jewish Humiliation and Death Just weeks after the Anschluss brought Nazi rule to Austria, hundreds of Viennese Jews — men, women, and children of all ages and health conditions — were rounded up on the Sabbath and dragged to the Prater, Vienna’s famous public garden and amusement park. There, in front of cheering, jeering crowds of onlookers, they were subjected to grotesque public torture. Jews were forced to get down on their hands and knees and eat grass like animals. Some were made to scrub the streets with toothbrushes. Others were forced to run in circles until they collapsed from exhaustion. Many were beaten. Some suffered heart attacks on the spot. A number died. This was not a spontaneous riot. It was a deliberate, organized spectacle of degradation — one of the early public displays of Nazi sadism after they took control of Austria. And this was only the beginning. In the months following the Anschluss, Austrian Nazis often proved even more vicious than their German counterparts. The rapid stripping of Jewish rights, the theft of property through “Aryanization,” and public humiliations like the Prater became a preview of the horror that would engulf Europe. Ultimately, this was the first act in the destruction of one of Europe’s largest and most cultured Jewish communities. Austria’s pre-war Jewish population of nearly 190,000 was reduced to roughly 5,000–7,000 survivors after the Holocaust. The world watched. And for the most part, it looked away. Never forget what they were able to do in broad daylight, in one of Europe’s great cities, to people whose only “crime” was being Jewish.

Elon Musk: Extending life to multiple planets would be one of the most important milestones, not only in the history of humanity, but in the history of life itself. "I think space is extremely important. But first, you have to go to the definition of importance and say, why is anything important? And if you use the lens of history, and you zoom out far, I think you can distinguish the less important from the more important. If you zoom out really far and look at the 4-billion-year history of Earth and the evolution of life itself and say, what are the major milestones in the evolution of life itself? Obviously, there's single-celled life, multicellular life, there's differentiation of plants and animals, there's life going from the oceans to land, there's mammals and consciousness. There's maybe a half-dozen or so really big milestones in the history of life. And I think on that scale, would also fit the expansion of life to multiple planets. It would be at least as important as life going from the oceans to land, and arguably more important because if you're going from oceans to land and got a lot uncomfortable on the land, you could jump back in the water. But that's not something you could do with going to another planet. In fact, I think extending life to multiple planets really requires consciousness as a precursor. So, if we've got something that's so important that it'd be one of the half dozen or so most important milestones in the history of life itself, that's pretty darn important. And it goes beyond the parochial concerns of humanity. It's something that is of importance to life in general. So, that's why I think it's important to do and this is the first time in the 4-billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible. How long will it remain possible? I mean, if things go well, obviously it will be possible for a long time, but if something unfortunate were to happen, that tiny window that just opened for the first time in 4 billion years could close. I'm actually an optimist, so I actually think that things will go fairly well on Earth. And this is not to suggest complacency, because there are very important issues, the climate being probably number one in terms of earthly issues. But I think if this is the first time in 4 billion years that life has had the possibility of doing that, we should take advantage of that, of that little window. And just in case it does close. Because extending to multiple planets gives us the surest chance of life lasting for a very long time. Because there's always the possibility, of some either natural disaster or potentially man-made disaster, that extinguishes life. And that would be bad." From: Interview with John Doerr, 2008
