#OnThisDay in 1986 Japan, the original #LegendofZelda was released for the #Famicom. Considered a #forerunner to the modern #RPG, and replacing #sidescrolling with an innovative top-down perspective, the game sold 1 million copies on its first day. #todayinhistory #goldcartridge
Today in 1907- Friday the 13th- this massive ship dropped anchor in a labyrinth of rocks off the Isles of Scilly You can watch a whole documentary about Scilly right here on @HistoryHit access.historyhit.com/videos/the-isl…
A story about the death of a sailing ship. And with it, the passing of the Age of Sail itself. Thread 🧵
Born #OnThisDay in 1863 was American astronomer Annie Jump Cannon. Cannon, who lost most of her hearing early in her life, was one of the Harvard Computers, and her work was vital to the modern classification of stars. She classified around 350,000 stars during her career.
Born #OnThisDay in 1926 Alabama native Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton was a multi-instrumentalist with a robust, blues-inflected vocal delivery, and a powerful presence.
Christine de Pizan was one of the earliest #medieval female writers. Now you can read a compelling story of her journey in the new book I, Christine. bit.ly/3GE1FWQ
Judging by its headlines, the New York Times is of the opinion that students chanting "From the river to the Sea, Palestine will be free" pose a more lethal threat to civilization than Israel's stated policy of extinguishing all sentient life in Gaza.
Benjamin Netanyahu both sanctioned and encouraged the payment of hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas. A wild story from the NYT. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them”.
Netanyahu encouraged Qatar to send "millions of dollars a month” to Gaza — “money that helped prop up the Hamas government there" -- because he calculated that the existence of Hamas would help him endlessly avoid negotiations for a Palestinian state. trib.al/lQ1ZVxs
Extremely important new statement by 55 Holocaust and genocide scholars from around the world - with a foreword by Israeli historian Raz Segal - because they "feel compelled to warn of the danger of genocide in Israel’s attack on Gaza" contendingmodernities.nd.edu/global-current… They make a list of…
On Friday the Biden administration legally declared an emergency in Gaza. It wasn't about 2 million people expelled from their homes, starved & deprived of water. Or 18,000 Gazans killed, including 7,000 kids. The emergency they declared? Israeli tanks were running low on ammo.
On December 8th, 1980, John Lennon was shot and killed outside his apartment building in New York City, by Mark David Chapman. Music history was altered forever. Listen in to this tragic story. omny.fm/shows/stuff-yo…

The moment Aljazeera Journalist Momen Al-Sharafi breaks the news that his entire family of 21 members were just killed in an Israeli Airstrike in #Gaza. The look he gives as he is no longer able to talk, is heartbreaking.
