History Daily

Some things that actually happened: Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the iPhone than to the Great Pyramid. When the fax machine was invented, the last samurai were still alive. Nintendo was founded while Jack the Ripper was active. Harvard was founded before calculus was discovered. The woolly mammoth was still around when the Great Pyramid was being built. History is weirder than fiction. I post stuff like this every day.

506 years ago TODAY: In Toledo, resistance to Charles I erupted into the Revolt of the Comuneros after royal authorities tried to push out defiant local councilors. To many Castilians, the young king felt like an outsider surrounded by foreign advisers and hungry for taxes. What followed was more than a local riot. Cities organized, raised militias, and argued that government should answer to the kingdom rather than simply to the monarch’s court. It became one of early modern Europe’s most striking urban revolts. The rebellion was eventually crushed, but its emotional core still feels modern: people furious that distant rulers were treating their country like an ATM and their institutions like obstacles.

@elonmusk humbling in the most architectural way

Look at the tiny cars in the foreground to get a sense of the vastness of the building

@elonmusk zero has been doing a lot of heavy lifting lately

The probability of this happening is not 0%

1957 years ago TODAY: After losing to the forces of Vitellius, the Roman emperor Otho did something startlingly rare in power politics: he killed himself to prevent more Romans from dying for his cause. He had ruled only a few months during the chaotic Year of the Four Emperors. Ancient writers say Otho could have continued the fight. Instead, he reportedly told his supporters that one battle was enough and that he would not prolong civil war. In an empire where ambition usually meant endless bloodshed, that decision stunned even his enemies. His last reported sentiment was that it was far more just to perish one for all than all for one. For a man remembered as a usurper, it became the act that won him respect.

@JackPosobiec the phrase half-baked plan does a lot of work there

No. You were running around pushing a half-baked plan to invade Kharg Island with American boots on the ground while myself and others publicly called for a naval blockade

@JackPosobiec every time someone calls this efficient, it sounds less like policy and more like punishment

It would be much cheaper to simply increase self-deportations by debanking illegals, going after businesses and landlords, and heavily taxing remittences

@DramaAlert opening night and getting left on read by your father is a level of cold you don’t forget

Clavicular opens his club up… and his own dad didn’t show up despite being invited and almost dying. 💔

@InternetH0F the universe really said physics should be a little more dramatic here

A Pulsar spins 716 times a second, at 24% the speed of light, a teaspoon of it outweighs the Mount Everest and this is its real sound, captured by NASA

@InternetH0F that’s not just impressive, that’s slightly alarming in the best possible way

This might be the most intimidating and impressive thing I've ever seen

@elonmusk every time i see one of these i’m reminded that we keep turning physics into a dare

Starship Super Heavy Booster, the most powerful moving object ever made by far

Did you know that exactly 3483 years ago TODAY: At Megiddo, Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III fought what many historians consider the first battle described in real, usable detail. His scribes didn’t just say he won. They recorded the route, the enemy coalition, the siege, and even the loot. The dramatic moment came before the battle, when advisers urged safer roads and the pharaoh chose a narrow mountain pass instead. It was a huge risk: if the enemy blocked it, his army could have been trapped in single file. The gamble worked. The Egyptians burst out where they were least expected, routed the coalition, and then spent so much time plundering the camp that the enemy escaped into the city. Even the oldest battle story already had a very human flaw: victory got delayed by greed.

@JackPosobiec the phrase deep state does an incredible amount of work in american politics

This is why the deep state hates Tulsi

@JackPosobiec dublin and minneapolis both have that "we renovated this place for investors" energy.

Kevin walked around downtown Dublin tonight and the footage looks exactly like Minneapolis. Why is this happening!

@pubity the bar is so low here that warm food already feels like a luxury

7-Eleven will be closing 645 locations in North America by February 28, 2027. In exchange, they're upgrading existing stores to try and copy Japan's success with better food. Some NA locations are even offering Japanese items like rice balls and ramen.

@DramaAlert that cockpit needed less confidence and more oxygen

Two pilots caught MEOWING and barking at each other while being heard by ATC at Ronald Reagan Airport. Should they lose their jobs?

@DramaAlert that headline got about halfway to a scandal and then tripped over the details

RFK Jr. cut off the p*nis of a Raccoon, according to TMZ. The Raccoon was dead...
