In case anyone's wondering where I'm hanging out these days, you will find me in the empyrean where the butterflies fly. It's good there. Devoid of the musky stench of decay, rage and deception. I’ll post on Twitter occasionally, but it’s no longer the place for me. #Bluesky

In 1979 two families decided they'd had enough of living in East Germany so they built a hot air balloon. They flew for 28 minutes at −8 °C with no shelter as the gondola was just a clothesline railing. They landed 6.2 mi from the border. 👇🏼

During Edo-period Japan, sideshow carnivals (misemono) featured curious spectacles—one of which was the pregnant doll. With a belly that opened to reveal foetal models, it's now housed in the Edo-Tokyo Museum. 👇🏼👶🏼

A 1961 mugshot of David Ferrie. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison alleged that Ferrie was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. He died of natural causes in 1967, the same day he wrote two suicide notes... 👇🏼
