Dionysus, B-Girl, Chromosomes, USAB: Paris Olympics 2024

Instead of hosting the ceremony inside a stadium, France decided to host the ceremony throughout historical sites in the city. It was a…

Military Parade @ the 60th Anniversary of PRC
I saw this 14 years ago in 2009. The feelings were ambiguous and gloomy. As I watched this again today, these feelings were at least 14x more intense and ambiguous.

14 Days In

Do you remember where you were on September 11th, 2001?
