Did you know that to get paid by the mile, the Transcontinental Railroad was built with unnecessary curves and swerves, making it much longer than it needed to be? The man who led the bribery scheme to make it happen was nicknamed the "King of Spades."

We're reading old newspapers' advice to women.

Its a combination of stupidity and privilege that leads to some of these demands.

“countless disputes arose over the question of her sex”

Charles Genevieve Louis Auguste Andre Timothee d'Eon was such a badass at doing pretty much everything it made men question her gender.

Sound familiar?

Ever get a craving for a specific food, & nothing else will do? Well, you're not alone.

In February 1257 Henry III sent a message to Ely, telling the sheriff send him 200 large eels, 1250 medium-sized eels, & 4,000 small eels. And he wanted them ASAP.

Takeout fit for a king.
🗃️🧪
Meme. Copperplate engraving of Henry III from 1618, showing the king, in regalia, looking off with interest into the middle distance. He is wearing a rather spiky crown that would appeal to a shrike, and holding a scepter topped with a fleur-de-lis . His clothes look fancy. As they should. He's a fucking king. His beard is fierce, and his hair is wild and leonine. It cups his face in delicately destructive energy. His dark eyebrows are slightly sad looking, and his nose is less sharp than he'd like it. While his hair looks young, his face looks burdened with cares. Which, given his life, makes, sense. His eyes are slightly sad, and he is looking past your right shoulder, as if someone is coming in the door behind you. But don't worry; nothing in his expression says that the person is here to hurt you. More likely they're going to ask if you know where the bathroom is. It's that kind of look that Henry's throwing. Meme text reads: "Kings need eels That's aal there is to it"

We couldn't help but make fun about how New York handled their rat problem.

They would constantly discuss "Going to war" against rats.

How could we not have a Lord of the Rings reference from that?

Someone responding our posts mentioned Anaconda, Montana

How could I resist not looking up newspapers from Anaconda, Montana.

They did not disappoint. Here is a segment out of an 1887 article about immegration.

It’s a copy of conservative anti-immigration rhetoric used now.

Out of all the horrific deaths and disasters we read in old newspapers, some of the more depressing things is how affordable these homes are.

And before you talk about conversion from 1903; $3,500 in 1903 has the same buying power as $125,480. Well below the $420,000 national average.
