RT @slantchev: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution today: “In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. His value was placed at $1,400. On another surviving document, Sheppard signed his name with an X. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia. The distance between Crawfordville and the Governor’s Mansion can be measured in miles. The distance between a man once listed as property and his descendant, now elected to lead the state that sanctioned his enslavement, is harder to comprehend.” Indeed.

When you think about Marco Polo, think about all amazing and crazy lives out there nobody recorded, like the one of a German kid becoming a music teacher in Guinea in 16th century

A German pirate was captured by Africans on some islands near the coast of Guinea in the 16th century, and presented to their king, who made him a court musician

And BTW we know about Marco Polo only because he was bored to death in a prison with a writer … otherwise we would have never known that Italian guy who got on personal terms with the Great Khan

Lovely Magellan unlucky “Hail Mary” trip

European exploration began long before Columbus. This incredible animated map shows how Europeans explored and mapped the world over 1,200 years, from Viking voyages to the first photographs of Earth from space. Watch the map come to life!

RT @SimonHarrisMBD: This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP. 🎥 The Guardian

RT @EddyFisher240: Patrick Stewart once found himself joking with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr about being three knights at the same table. No grand speech, no performance. Just a moment of shared laughter. A long career leaves behind more than great roles. It leaves moments people remember.

This is just Emrata letting Conan accuse her of flirting, acting completely innocent, then gently roasting him for getting flustered. She was in control the entire time.

Ricorderò per sempre quella sera del giugno 91 quando per caso scoprii che era uscìta una nuova serie di ST: Patrick Stewart Sara per sempre il mio capitano ideale, con quell’eleganza e umanità che al buon vecchio JTK sono sempre mancate.

Che poi non credo fosse il 91 più probabile l’88.

RT @JorgeBEdwards: @SirPatStew The most impactful line that he delivered on screen imo. So applicable to all facets of life.

RT @factpostnews: Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

RT @Cat5SMASHICANE: This is what AI is made for. Murtaugh is too old for this 💩 and Riggs has to find a new partner. I absolutely love how they brought in every character from that era and even combined two different characters for one actor in a couple different scenes. 🤣🤣🤣💥🔫
