Studying history helps us understand how past events have shaped the present. We not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies.
So, join us in taking a look at the Twitter account 'Historic Vids.' It shares daily lessons supplemented with vibrant images that perfectly illustrate them. Whether it's a secret photo of Stalin dealing with the news that Nazis invaded the Soviet Union or a portrait of a regular family during the Spanish flu, they will definitely broaden your horizons.

SomeBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME

Today I learned the movie Shrek was based on a children's book. I thought it was an original.
The book was by William Steig, who was both the writer and illustrator. He was fairly prolific, and all of his children's books are delightful.

Some people may not conform to society's definition of 'good-looking', but that does not mean that we should automatically assume that they are monsters. Perhaps we should flip it on its head and assume that everyone who is heavily into their appearance are conceited. It certainly fits better than saying that 'ugly' people are cold and hostile.
Like the “Eye Of The Beholder” Twilight Zone episode 😊

This is entirely fake. The guy on the left looks nothing like William Steig who was a slender and clean cut, clean shaven man his whole life (he was a famous author, there are lots of photos of him). It's probably another wrestler or promoter. There's no proof that Shrek is based on Tillet or that the two had ever met. DreamWorks denies any connection.
Ok, that's brilliant, I never knew that, I genuinely just thought it was made up....
They should've let him voice tha character too. On the other hand Google tells me he died in 1954, so there's that 🫣
Only fools judge people based on their appearance. Not beautiful people usually smart and warm-hearted.
Because they would have to pay something. But that’s obvious.

He looks like my hubby in a way , but my hubby just manages to speak yorkshire
I would have written a story about him too. He seems a kind, considerate human being with many talents and perspectives. He would have been terrific as a hero.
um. in the first picture, you see that past guy on the right who looks like hes about to karate chop someone? look closely behind him. whos that? 💀
I read that he had a reunion with the turtles from Rocky, Cuff and Link, a couple of years ago
there are sitill quite a few in Italy, France, Spain : voie-romai...b972f6.jpg 
"Sorry Boss, the beer was getting too bubbly, I had to drink it or it would go bad" ;D
My grandmother had one of those in her house. It's for warming gloves and socks, not bread
The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.
Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?
Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.
So accurate. We all live in our own filter bubbles now.
Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....
If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.

Once again, the same old pictures, over and over. Can’t anybody come up with something new?
I don't like the exaggerated titles "teach you more than school books"
I can't reply and hope you see that i answered you someday :) ...thank you so much - this means a lot more to me than you might think! I would love to hear more about your journey - i'm trying to start mine for a long time but somehow stuck in this "phase". And now you helped me to take action...THANK YOU!!
