On this day in ...
Let's just say a lot of bad shit happened on this day in the past.
This is like maybe the best thing that happened:
In 1929 – Popeye the Sailor Man, a cartoon character created by E. C. Segar, first appears in the Thimble Theatre comic strip.

"During the Church Committee hearings in 1975, evidence came to light that under the FBI's COINTELPRO actions, FBI agents had deliberately fanned flames of division and enmity between the Black Panther Party and Organization US. Death threats and humiliating cartoons created by the FBI were sent to each group, made to look as if they originated with the other group, with the explicit intention of inciting deadly violence and division."
Birthdays are cool right? Happy Birthday to...

(I'm cherry-picking Wikipedia mainly.)Looking at events and birthdays of people in history that pertain to art, music, literature, film, poetry, psychology, "magic", creative technologies, space travel, philosophies, "illumination", cosmic consciousness. With as little focus on war as possible. There will be exceptions owing to my own personal interest in a specific topic. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. This is a work in progress.
