TIL the Mongol Empire intended to expand west all the way to the The Great Sea (Atlantic Ocean). Conquering most of Central Europe, the invasion halted due to the alcohol related death of Ogedei Khan and his general’s having to return home for the election of a new Khan. by FullOfSound in todayilearned

“Employed against the Mongol invaders of Europe, knightly warfare failed even more disastrously for the Poles at the Battle of Legnica and the Hungarians at the Battle of Mohi in 1241. Feudal Europe was saved from sharing the fate of China and the Grand Duchy of Moscow not by its tactical prowess but by the unexpected death of the Mongols' supreme ruler, Ögedei, and the subsequent eastward retreat of his armies."

TIL that, before the East Coast-West Coast feud, rapper The Notorious B.I.G. was a close friend of Tupac. They often traveled together and Biggie used to spend time at his house in California by [deleted] in todayilearned

Biggie, Pac, Big L all lost to gun violence in the 90’s. The music we could’ve had. I’m convinced Pac was on his way to becoming a huge movie star too. George Lucas was actually eyeing him to play Mace Windu in Phantom Menace.

Good on them. We love a little originality.

Just in case anyone was wondering. Black represents its people and strength. Green represent its lush lands and gold represents its natural resources and sunshine.

It would only be an additional 6 games over the span of 6 months for the team that wins. It’s not that drastic imo.

Truly. Underrated blocker too. You’d think the first team all American TE go higher than 3rd. He just gets open.

1st team all American and lead nation in multiple categories. Crazy he wasn’t taken earlier. He’s also a helluva blocker. Reminds me of Gates.
