The last known photographs of a passenger pigeon were taken in 1911 by animal artist Enno Meyer at the Cincinnati Zoo. They feature "Martha," who died on September 1, 1914, and was the absolute last surviving member of her once-billion-strong species
This is thought to be the oldest known photograph of New York City, captured in May 1850 at Broadway between Franklin and Leonard Streets.
The audio was Beggin'. The app insisted it was White Rabbit.
For a second I thought I was having a stroke.
The Quagga was a unique relative of the zebra that once roamed South Africa.
This photograph was taken at the Amsterdam Zoo in the 1870s.
The animal died in 1883, and with it, an entire branch of life disappeared from the Earth.
Within a few years, an entire species would be gone.
If I only had one chance to avoid the worst movie ever made, what movie should I never watch?
I'm not talking about low-budget movies, cheesy special effects, or "so bad it's good" movies.
I mean a movie that made you think:
"That's two hours of my life I'm never getting back."
What's the worst movie you've ever seen, and what made it so terrible?
I have managers who give vague instructions, never clearly explain expectations, and then get frustrated when people don't do exactly what they wanted.
It's almost like some people treat management as a test rather than a teaching role.
I've worked under people who were incredibly clear about expectations, and I've worked under others where every task felt like trying to solve a riddle.
They got better results, even though they were often less intimidating.
Why do you think some managers seem to value "figuring it out yourself" more than clear communication?
Ive had so many managers who give vague instructions, never clearly explain expectations, and then get frustrated when people don't do exactly what they wanted.
It's almost like some people treat management as a test rather than a teaching role.
I've worked under leaders who were incredibly clear about expectations, and I've worked under others where every task felt like trying to solve a riddle.
The first group got better results, even though they were often less intimidating.

This is something I've never really understood.
If I had a large YouTube channel and a smaller creator reached out whose content I genuinely thought my audience would enjoy, I don't see why I wouldn't recommend them.
People can subscribe to more than one channel.
People can watch more than one creator.
The internet is enormous, and it doesn't seem like success on YouTube has to be a zero-sum game.
Yet I often get the impression that many creators view other channels in their niche as direct competitors rather than potential collaborators.
Am I missing something?
For those of you who have larger channels, is there an actual downside to helping smaller creators in your niche, or is it more of a mindset thing?

Utrecht, Netherlands.
Same location. Three different visions of the future.
1968: Canal.
1983: Highway.
2015: Canal again.
Which version do you think got it right?
Boulevard du Temple
The photo was taken in 1838 by Louis Daguerre from a window overlooking the boulevard.
At the time, it was one of the busiest streets in Paris. However, the exposure took several minutes, so moving people, horses, and carriages didn't stay in one place long enough to appear in the image.
The reason one person is visible is that he was standing relatively still while having his shoes polished. That accidentally made him the first known human ever captured in a photograph.
The exposure took so long that almost everyone disappeared from the image. One man getting his shoes polished remained still long enough to become the first person ever photographed.
A single unarmed man standing in front of a column of tanks after the Tiananmen Square protests. Nobody knows for certain who he was or what happened to him. It became one of the most powerful symbols of individual resistance in modern history
