Somewhere among the ruins, they found a few minutes to simply be children.

On August 30, 2026, Palestinian children gathered in Gaza City to watch The Lion King at sunset, surrounded by rubble and destroyed buildings.

The screening was organised by the Masharawi Fund’s Little Wings mobile cinema, created to bring moments of joy and normal childhood to children in Gaza.

For a little while, the ruins faded into the background. There was just a movie, a sunset, and children being children. ❤️

Napoleon was notoriously impatient with small talk and state etiquette, often ending conversations he found uninteresting by simply turning around and walking away without saying goodbye.

He almost never bathed, reportedly smelled terrible, and looked far from charming. Yet women were strangely drawn to him.

Grigori Rasputin rose from an uneducated peasant in Siberia to become one of the most controversial figures surrounding the Russian imperial court.

His intense gaze, unusual charisma and reputation as a mystic gave him an almost hypnotic presence. His influence eventually reached Empress Alexandra, who believed his prayers could help her sick son, Alexei.

As Rasputin’s power grew, so did the rumors, scandals and fascination surrounding him.

But what was it about him that made people so captivated?

Leonard Koscianski is an American painter known for turning ordinary suburban life into something strangely dreamlike.

Born in Cleveland in 1952, he studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art and later at UC Davis, where he was also a student of renowned painter Wayne Thiebaud.

His work blends Surrealism, American Primitive Art and American Scene Painting, often placing ordinary people, animals and suburban neighborhoods in psychologically charged situations.

Koscianski himself describes the idea behind his work as a hidden psychological world existing beneath our own.

In 1972, the Rothschilds hosted one of the most extravagant and bizarre parties of the 20th century: a surrealist ball at Château de Ferrières in France.

Guests arrived in elaborate masks and costumes, entered through a maze described as a “hellish portal,” and found tables covered with bizarre surrealist decorations. Fur covered plates, strange dolls, unusual food and surreal sculptures turned the entire dinner into something that looked more like an art installation than a party.

The highlight was dessert: a sugar sculpture of a woman lying in a bed of roses.

The entire evening was inspired by the surrealist movement, which aimed to challenge reality and blur the line between dreams and the real world.

And honestly… what a party. 👀

This photo was taken inside the Bryant & May match factory in East London in 1903. These teenage girls worked with white phosphorus, a poisonous chemical used to make matches.First, their teeth fell out. Then their gums became infected, and eventually the jawbone began to rot.

The condition became known as “phossy jaw.”
The factory owners knew the risks but kept using white phosphorus because it was cheaper. In 1888, around 1,400 workers went on strike, led by 16-year-old Sarah Chapman. Their protest helped push Britain to ban white phosphorus in matches in 1908. They were just teenage factory workers — but their courage changed British labor history.

It looks like Antarctica is bleeding, but Blood Falls is not actually blood. 🩸

The strange red flow comes from Taylor Glacier in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys, one of the driest places on Earth.

The water beneath the glacier is extremely salty and rich in iron. When this iron rich water reaches the surface and comes into contact with oxygen, the iron oxidizes and creates that deep red, rust like color.

But the strangest part is where the water comes from.

Scientists believe the salty water has been trapped beneath the glacier for millions of years, isolated from the outside world beneath hundreds of metres of ice.

And somehow, this extreme environment is not completely lifeless. Microorganisms can survive in the cold, salty water beneath the glacier.

So no, Antarctica isn’t actually bleeding. But there really is a place where ancient water emerges from a glacier looking remarkably like blood.

For the stories you were never taught.
