Lenin and Stalin at Gorki, just outside of Moscow, September 1922
There’s a strange, almost theatrical quality to the moment when two of the 20th century’s most consequential figures sat together at Gorki in 1922. By then, the Russian Revolution’s victorious whirlwind was slowing, but beneath the surface, new storms were brewing. Lenin, the ideological engine of the Bolsheviks, was well aware that the revolution he’d birthed was at a crossroads—and that the men surrounding him were already thinking about what came next.

A Damn Fine Collection of Fascinating Photos
In 2013, James Howells from Wales accidentally threw away a hard drive that contained 8,000 Bitcoin, now worth over $950 million. He spent more than ten years trying to get permission to search a landfill for it, but in 2025 a court ruled he he has no legal right to recover it.
In 2013, James Howells, an IT worker from Wales, made what is now considered one of the most expensive mistakes in modern history. During a routine clear-out, he accidentally tossed a hard drive into the trash—unaware that it held the cryptographic keys to 8,000 Bitcoin he’d mined years earlier, back when the cryptocurrency was virtually worthless. As Bitcoin’s value skyrocketed, the hard drive’s potential worth soared to an eye-watering $950 million. For over a decade, Howells waged a relentless campaign to persuade local authorities to let him search the landfill where he believed the drive was buried, even offering to fund an extensive, high-tech recovery operation at his own expense.

Outside of the Headquarters of National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, 1914
In an era when women were rallying, marching, and risking arrest to win the right to vote, here was a group—led and largely staffed by women—fighting fiercely to preserve the status quo. The building itself was unassuming, yet from its doors poured pamphlets, petitions, and editorials warning of the dangers women’s suffrage would supposedly bring: a disruption of social order, the decline of the family, and chaos in politics. Signs and banners would have declared the group’s purpose in bold letters, standing as both a literal and symbolic barrier to progress.

What Ever Happened To Scarlett Pomers, ‘Naomi Wildman’ On Star Trek: Voyager?
If you spent any formative years in the 1990s mainlining syndicated sci-fi, chances are you remember a certain pint-sized half-Ktarian with a shock of copper hair and a maturity that seemed to outpace most of the adult crew. Naomi Wildman, daughter of Ensign Samantha Wildman, was the perpetual “kid on the ship” and the closest thing Star Trek: Voyager ever had to a designated child actor.
