Georges Méliès’ A TRIP TO THE MOON (1902) was one of the first blockbuster films & one of the first major piracy victims. Unauthorized copies flooded American theaters through companies tied to Thomas Edison & Méliès never saw a cent from its U.S. success.

The largest warship in the world at the time, the Henry Grace à Dieu, was dedicated at Woolwich Dockyard in England today in 1514.

On this day in 1995, Alanis Morissette released 'Jagged Little Pill,' an album that turned raw emotion into a cultural force. She was 21, fearless, and unapologetically honest. With every scream, sob, and sly grin, she gave a generation permission to say exactly what they felt.

Seriously

This is so sad. Praying for Bill and his family.

"You Only Live Twice" starring Sean Connery opened in theaters today in 1967. BITE-SIZED FACT | The movie was the fifth film in the James Bond series.

Rest in peace to Gene Shalit, a man whose Kermit the Frog interview went absolutely off the rails in 1984. Nobody has interviewed a Muppet like this since.

Foxglove providing colour and a little delightful magic by a busy main road 🩷 It was once believed in Ireland that the Foxglove would nod or bow out of respect for passing fairies 🌷🧚🏻 And yet despite this association it was also used in various cures for the "fairy stroke" This highly toxic plant has rejuvenating qualities and when a child began to waste away from fairy influence then the juice of the Foxglove was thought to be the key to their revival 🔑 In some places the juice from twelve Foxglove leaves would be administered each day and if the child, or even adult, was a Changeling, then they would refuse the offer of the medicine 🌺

6/13/2012 R.A. Dickey throws a one-hit shutout against the Rays. Dickey also sets a franchise record with 32 2/3 consecutive scoreless frames. Following the game, the Mets appeal that the hit allowed by Dickey be ruled an error on David Wright; however, the ruling is upheld.

OTD in 1864: 100,000 men vanished overnight, and the greatest general of the age had no idea where they went. This might be the most underrated move of the Civil War. Context: Grant had just spent ten days locked in trench warfare at Cold Harbor, Virginia, after a frontal assault on June 3 that cost him thousands of men in under an hour. He admitted it was the worst mistake of his career. The armies were so close that soldiers could not lift their heads above the dirt in daylight. Everyone, including Lee, expected Grant to do what every Union commander before him did after a bloody repulse: retreat north and regroup. Instead, on the night of June 12, Grant did something audacious. He pulled the entire Army of the Potomac out of trenches that were in some places only yards from Confederate lines. No bugles, no fires, wheels muffled. By morning the Union trenches were empty and Lee's scouts found nothing but abandoned earthworks. The army marched south, away from Richmond, which made no sense to Confederate observers. Then Union engineers did something almost nobody thought possible: they threw a pontoon bridge across the James River, roughly 2,100 feet of it, over water up to 85 feet deep with a four-foot tidal swing. They built it in about eight hours. It was one of the longest floating bridges in military history. For three full days Lee was effectively blind, unsure whether Grant was north or south of the James. By the time the picture cleared, Grant's army was across the river attacking Petersburg, the rail hub that fed Richmond. The siege that followed lasted nine months and ended with Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Everyone remembers Cold Harbor as Grant's worst day. Almost nobody remembers that one week later he pulled off the maneuver that won the war.
