April 21, 2026 — Today is National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day, which feels like someone decided a perfectly normal snack needed just a little more going on.
Today we’re looking at a few moments where what people believe—and what’s actually true—don’t always line up.
First, the traditional founding of Rome, something that started small but became something much larger.
Then, the famous Loch Ness Monster photograph in 1934, which convinced people of something that wasn’t real.
And finally, the 1980 Boston Marathon, where a winner crossed the finish line without actually running the race.
Plus, a quick look at Iggy Pop, whose style stands out for doing things differently.
It raises a question about how often assumptions shape what we accept as true.
Anyway… that’s what I ended up finding while working through April 21.
