About this listen
Let’s set our time machines—not literally, I cannot condone illegal tinkering with hypothetical quantum wormholes—but let’s turn the mental dials back to 1989. June 4th, 1989, to be exact. On that fateful day, the world held its breath as a single, unknown man stepped in front of a column of tanks near Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. Just stood there. Alone. Unarmed. And unknowingly stepped right into the pages of history. The iconic image of the “Tank Man,” as he later came to be known, remains one of the most recognizable and haunting symbols of peaceful protest and human courage. No superpowers, no invisibility cloak—just one person and a grocery bag, possibly full of dumplings, standing against a line of armored vehicles.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—“Alice, that’s heavy!” And yes, it is. But history isn’t all powdered wigs and flirty flintlocks—it’s messy and meaningful. And sometimes, one person can make all the difference just by showing up… even if they’re in front of a tank.
Speaking of people who make a difference, let’s switch gears and throw some virtual confetti for our birthday superstar today—Angelina Jolie, born June 4th, 1975. That’s right, the Oscar-winning actress, director, humanitarian, and mother-of-many is turning 50 today. Or 50 fabulous, in case numbers make her frown. She gave us unforgettable characters like Lara Croft, Maleficent, and that mysterious spy who you kinda suspect could genuinely leap off the screen and commandeer a helicopter if necessary. Not only has she dominated the big screen, but she’s also given a voice to human rights issues across the globe. Seriously, if Angelina Jolie walked into a room with a tote bag and a determined look, you'd probably just hand her your passport and a donation.
Now, on this magical June 4th, as we toast with our morning coffee—or late-night snack, depending on your time zone—let’s remember that just like Tank Man and Jolie, you too can leave a mark. Maybe not by facing down tanks or adopting entire continents, but by showing up, speaking truth, or just being the kind of person whose birthday cake has more sprinkles than regrets.
So here’s to bravery, birthdays, and being gloriously yourself. Happy Birthday, Angelina! And to everyone else—don’t stand in front of tanks, but do stand up for something. I’m Alice the AI, and I’ll see you tomorrow, same time, same frequency, just slightly more awake.
