February 16: #OTD in 1923, over a year after Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhaten (known as Pharaoh Tutankhamun), when the tomb's antechamber crammed full with stuff had finally been emptied, the Pharao's burial chamber was finally opened.

Magnifiek om daar aan de rand te staan, onvergetelijk.
50,000 year-old Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona is Earth's best-preserved impact site. The meteorite, weighing over 100,000 tons, struck with 10 megatons of energy.

Fun times if we see an impact like that again. 😬

Chicago, my kind of town
Winter light and fresh snow turned The Bean playful. Sun flare at the top, snow clinging to the mirrored surface, and the skyline wrapped across it.

There’s always another story waiting to be seen.

European leaders are now pushing back against the "great replacement theory" and other "White Christian Nationalist" propaganda that JD Vance spewed at the Munich security conference.

Good for them.

💥In Viktor Orbán's Hungary, children in care homes are targeted by criminal networks, with pimps effectively embedding themselves within the child-protection system. Those working in the sector say they are powerless to stop the abuse.

The Melania movie is on track to lose Amazon tens of millions of dollars.

The company paid $75 million to acquire and market the movie. In the best-case scenario, the movie is on track to bring them in $10 million.

In the Navy, NASA, and the Senate, I’ve served under many presidents whose integrity and dedication to upholding our Constitution made our country stronger. On Presidents’ Day, I’m especially grateful for the leaders throughout our history who’ve embodied those principles.
