For millions across Europe and Asia, super fast train travel is a way of life. Closer to home, Australia's trains rattle along at last century speeds. Every plan to bring high-speed rail here has failed but now comes the biggest push yet.

@EddieMcClintock @lynnsanchez Congratulations 🥳 to you both, may you have many more years together.

Twenty-one years ago, May 1st, we walked out onto a deserted, hidden beach, on the North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii, and got hitched! Life has never been the same. Happy Anniversary, @lynnsanchez! 🙏🏻❤️

The Slanic salt mine in Romania is the closest thing to the Mines of Moria on Earth

Before steam engines were used in 1863, slate was transported down from the mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port by gravity trains. Today the railway runs occasional gravity trains for fun. One such train has just gone past our house. (PS. This is not today’s event that I am beyond excited about 🤣)

@PrestonEDennett Preston, is it possible to think of how many visitations we have actually had, with all the ones you have documented it must in the tens of thousands and when are we going to see you in the SCIF @chrisramsay52 ?

“Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.”

100 years ago, this photo would have ended every newspaper headline on Earth. Today it'll get scrolled past in 2 seconds. This is a photograph of Mars. Taken today. 140 million miles away from us.

To the couple at Denver International who quietly asked to move instead of sitting near her… To the man at the gate who leaned over the counter and asked, “Are you sure that dog is safe?” Let me introduce you to someone who has earned her place more than most people ever will. Her name is Staff Sergeant Nova Steele. Yes, Staff Sergeant. That title wasn’t given lightly. Nova is a 90-pound black-and-tan Rottweiler - strong frame, calm posture, eyes that don’t miss anything. There’s a faint scar along her back leg, the kind of mark that doesn’t need explaining but tells a story anyway. She served with an infantry unit overseas as both a patrol and detection K-9. Long days, longer nights. The kind of work where silence matters, instincts matter more, and hesitation isn’t an option. On one operation, in a dim, dust-filled building that had already been checked more than once, Nova alerted where no one else had. What they found there shouldn’t have been missed - but it was, until she stepped in. Another night, things went wrong. Fast. Confusing. Loud. The kind of moment that doesn’t give you time to think… only to react. Nova did what she was trained to do - and more than that, what she chose to do. She took the hit that wasn’t meant for her. Weeks later, she was in a military veterinary clinic in Europe. Quiet recovery. Slow steps. No complaints. Just patience. She made it back. Now she lives with her handler, Master Sergeant Elena Cruz, back home in the United States. She flies in the cabin, right by her side - not because it’s a privilege, but because it’s been earned, piece by piece, moment by moment. The same dog people hesitate to sit next to once walked into rooms first so others wouldn’t have to. She doesn’t need reassurance. She’s already given more of that than most ever will. To every K9 warrior and their handler - thank you.💖
