Dorothea Tanning painted Birthday in 1942, a self-portrait in which she stands barefoot and bare-chested in a corridor lined with receding doors, with a winged feline at her feet. Many male surrealists cast women as muses or dream figures for the male gaze, but Tanning placed herself at the centre and looks directly out at the viewer. The painting uses surrealist techniques such as dream logic and metamorphosis, with the doors suggesting either confinement in domestic life or endless possibilities. Tanning drew the image from her New York apartment, where a line of doors inspired a dream of countless doors. Her work helped reshape how women's agency was understood within surrealism.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
