Btw did you hear about the similar one in Germany in the early 1900s? eerily similar circumstances and both stories are just downright creepy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinterkaifeck_murders

I think William and Catherine have done an excellent job with making the monarchy relevant to modern day society. So has the Queen, actually. Some examples: The Queen changed the Succession to the Crown Act so that a female heir to the throne isn’t bumped down the line in the event of the birth of a male sibling (she…

I thought it was well known, or at least had been written about just after Mr. William’s death, that though it was undiagnosed he had been suffering from Lewy or Lewey Body Dementia?

Philip is nowhere near the reviled creature people make him out to be. He had an awful childhood and became a self-assured and highly respected young naval officer, serving creditably in combat. He perhaps became stuck in time at one point with his sometimes inappropriately laddish sense of humor, but he’s always…

My two favorite facts about Anne, Charles’ elder sister, is that she’s not his elder sister but is actually 2 years younger, and that she reportedly makes a delightful cheese soufflé.

and raised two apparently semi-normal, by all appearances decent men (I give her all that credit, because it certainly didn’t come from their father’s family)

The Nancy Reagan book looks like another stop on the scrubbing of national memory about how awful the Reagans were for so many people in the country and around the world. So Nancy danced with a lesbian writer at a large public event? I don’t give a shit. She facilitated and enabled one of the worst US presidents…

This dude is pretty boss. You could say he’s...

Why do people love to complain about this so much? If you have to travel to go to a wedding, and you don’t want to spend the $, then don’t go. If it’s a close friend and I love the person, then I wouldn’t see it as some kind of burden but as a small sacrifice I have to make to be there for my dear friend. Unless…

People who bad mouth the conservatorship clearly don’t remember where Britney was before it. Or have forgotten where Linsday Lohan—-who didn’t have a responsible parent to help her when she fell apart or ever for that matter—-is now.

I would live for this episode! Kerry Washington sashays in the conference room in a beautiful white coat and plops down her prada bag. She posts pictures on the windows. Who is it?! Huck pulls up his 5 computer screens and hacks into everyone’s cell phones and the security cameras. He zooms in to a grainy frame and…

Nah. Tiffany appears to be just as vapid, shallow and unintelligent as the rest of the Trump ejaculate-spawn. Her mom was a “beauty queen” who publicly had an affair with a married man and crowed that he was “the best sex I ever had,”and has probably never had to actually work a day in her life as a result. So,no,…

He’s like the real life Hank Scorpio, he could be villainous but damn you just like the guy regardless.

Hey everybody! An old man is talking!

I used to tie a Tamagotchi to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to buy a Tamagotchi cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of Bill Clinton on ‘em. “Gimme five Slick Willie’s for a quarter”, you’d say.

It’s also very possible there aren’t any emotional fissures between them at all and this is simply a business transaction to move their assets into her name before they’re frozen or seized. Neither is contesting anything which means they probably had everything worked out before hand. Now that’s not terribly unusual…

I hate the whole “we will never forget” message around combat deaths, terrorist attacks, etc. Yes we will. We will forget. Almost immediately. Particularly when the story falls out of the 24 hour news cycle and is replaced with some other awful bullshit.

Usually distracting or that the other patrons will think this person is a paid guide from the institution and give out incorrect information and make them look bad. They don’t want to be misrepresented by some amateur historian.
