Tank Man (Photograph: Stuart Franklin/Magnum Photos)
This photograph was taken by Stuart Franklin, a British photographer, on 5 June 1989, the day after the Tiananmen Square massacre, in which it’s believed as many as 10,000 pro-democracy protesters in Beijing were killed by troops sent in to quash the demonstrations. A lone protester, dubbed “Tank Man”, stood blocking the path of a column of tanks leaving the square. Footage of the incident was smuggled out of China, with the still-unidentified man instantly becoming an icon in the western world. As Franklin put it: “Here was a modern-day version of David and Goliath.” GS

So I'm in the mood to overshare. Y'all know about the Berlin Wall? I recently got obsessed with the way people just came together from both sides to break it down and on researching, found out about this guy who actually ran a tank into the wall a few years prior. Like, how cool is that? "Your bestie's grandpa owned a hotel? Well, I ran a tank into the Berlin Wall."
And yesterday I was talking about it with my 70yo Indian grandmother who remembers watching it in the news back then. We ended up watching three Ted-Ed History videos and having a heated discussion on Napoleon Bonaparte.
Lesson of the day: Never a greater day to be a history nerd.
Alternative lesson of the day: Run a tank through walls

Take away the traitor-dictator Xi Jinping! Meals, not PCR exams. Freedom, not lockdowns. Reforms, not the Cultural Revolution. Elections not leaders,Dignity, not lies. Residents, not slaves.
