Sixty years ago yesterday, May 25, 1965, the great Neil Leifer took this photo of Muhammad Ali knocking down Sonny Liston just 1 minute and 44 seconds into their title bout. Many consider it the best sports photo ever taken.

There is something so funny to me about the fact that, at 10 pm on the night of the House settlement approval, a random X account popped up that said, "Hello! We are the faceless entity that will be enforcing all this stuff! Follow us for more!"
