“A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.” – Albert Einstein, “Atomic Education Urged by Einstein”, The New York Times, 25 May 1946
The earliest I had on my phone was from when I saw Adam Ant in 2012 (age 41), then Buffy Summers for Halloween 2015 (age 44), and recent selfie for 2019 (age 48). Phone cameras and makeup technology have improved!

“Arts and sciences are not cast in a mold, but are formed and perfected by degrees, by repeated handling and polishing, as bears leisurely lick their cubs into form.”
— Michel de Montaigne, Essais (via philosophybits)
On this day, 20 July 1943, two Jewish members of the Waldkommando work unit at the Sobibor concentration camp attacked their Ukrainian guard and encouraged other members of the unit to escape. The Waldkommando was composed of 20 Polish Jews and 20 Dutch Jews, and it supplied wood for the crematorium by cutting down trees and digging out the stumps. Shlomo Podchlebnik and Josef Kopf initiated the breakout with a knife Podchlebnik had in his boot. A separate group of Polish Jews decided to flee on foot while eight guards were eating lunch on this same day. Several of them - Podchlebnik, Kopf, Zindel Honigman, Josef Freitag, Chaim Korenfeld, Abraham Wang, and Aron Licht - were able successfully escape. Josef Kopf and Aron Licht were murdered by Polish anti-Semites in separate incidents after their escape. The others survived the duration of the war. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1171030456415436/?type=3
