Eel smuggling is a major problem today. But it's not new!
In 1463, London city officials arrested 9 Zeeland merchants who tried to slip 97 barrels of salted eels past customs at Billingsgate. They wanted to avoid import fees, but wound up facing a £40 fine.

506 years ago, on the 8th of November 1519, Moctezuma welcomed Cortés in Tenochtitlán in peace after the Spaniard had parts of the Aztec Empire. Moctezuma intended to learn the weaknesses of the Spaniards but found himself taken hostage, with Cortés ruling Tenochtitlán through him. #otd #history 🗃️

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I, for one, think that before deciding whether to return him to the presidency the electorate had the right to know whether Trump committed serious felonies both while in and after his time in office. Maybe that's just me, though.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

America's greatest mass murderer is only getting started
Kennedy isn't ending lives by accident. All of his actions come from the deep-seated belief that Americans deserve to be sick.
