In September of 1992, Pearl Jam celebrated their seemingly overnight success by staging a free show in Seattle's Magnusson Park, drawing a crowd of over 70,000 people. During the show, Eddie Vedder, the lead singer, embarked on a death-defying feat. He climbed the stage scaffolding with 100 feet of microphone cable trailing behind him, looped it over the top, rappelled down, and swung out over the audience. "I was channeling something different," Eddie once reflected on his onstage escapades. "I reached that place you hear about where a mother lifts a car off her two-year-old child. It was that kind of adventure. At that point in my life, finally having the opportunity to perform for larger crowds, I genuinely felt like I had nothing to lose. I wasn't thinking about what might await me in the future. It was all about the present moment. This mindset aligned with the message we, as a group, wanted to convey to the audience at that particular time. Risking my safety to evoke such emotions became part of the performance." These photographs captured the intense rage and fury embodied by Eddie and the band during that period. In retrospect, it was a reckless act, as his career and life could have ended tragically. The anxiety of the 70,000 fans in attendance was palpable in the air. Nevertheless, it turned out to be a glorious rock and roll moment, contributing to their long and illustrious career.

In 2009 while watching "Stewart Little" (1999), Hungarian art historian Gergely Barki saw the painting "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" by Róbert Berény. It had been missing for 90 years and had been used as a prop. It was the original. The painting disappeared in the 1920s, but Barki recognised it immediately even though he had only seen a faded black-and-white photo from an exhibition in 1928. He sent a flurry of emails to staff at the film's makers, Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and received a reply from a former set designer on the film - two years later. "She said the picture had been hanging on her wall," Barki said. "She had snapped it up for next to nothing in an antiques shop in Pasadena, California, thinking its avant-garde elegance was perfect for Stuart Little's living room."

100%. Every school through secondary schools ought to be phone-free, excepting extremely limited and specific situations. They are not helpful nor useful for any academic purpose I’ve ever seen and have only ever caused problems. #edutwitter theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
