Three Hapsburgs and a Reporter Walk Into a Canadian Vault

Investigating the discovery of a seemingly long-lost diamond had both the intrigue of a mystery novel and the fact-checking hurdles of a history paper.

The publisher of Sarah Ferguson’s now cancelled children’s book is owned by a Chinese state enterprise. Just a coincidence or part of a pattern of Andrew and Fergie making money from links to the communist superpower?

The Girls of Great Britain tiara has been removed from the Edwardians exhibition at the King’s Gallery

There are two tiara events coming up — the diplomatic reception and the state visit of the German president

Maybe we’ll see Queen Camilla wearing it?

“The Duke” ????

There is one duke whom we all know is deeply involved in the Epstein-Maxwell scandal

Could this be an email from the former Duke of York, now Mrs Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?
In a bit of black comedy, someone nicknamed “The Duke” gets involved in one of the most ominous email chains that could possibly land in a person’s inbox—about a forthcoming British tabloid exposé—and pleads with Maxwell to get him out of it somehow. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

We all have buttons that can be pushed, no matter how rational and discerning we believe ourselves to be

Nothing good will come from getting worked up over videos of shit that didn't happen (even if "it feels like it could have happened")

Your default response to video should be skepticism

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Literally nobody has called them this. How is the NYT always wrong.
The World Series was played outside the U.S. for the first time in 32 years this October, when the Toronto Blue Jays united fans across Canada as the country’s only MLB team. The team even became known as the “Glue Jays” before the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.

The Blue Jays, Canada’s only M.L.B. team, were a salve for a country hit by President Trump’s threats and tariffs. Then the Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.
