In the 30s and 40s, the labor melodrama, featuring people working dangerous blue collar jobs, was a whole genre. These days it has come back as workplace reality TV where the jobs are often dangerous, sometimes duck-related.

Telling my vet friend how much my childhood budgie loved me. He told me it was probably my glasses as he'd see the reflection as another bird and they're highly social. Feel gutted for the late Capt Blue Budge.

Rare Roman Panther Figurine with Its Paws on a Severed Head Is a Propaganda Tool Used in Britain The statue was a brutal flex by the Romans.

Seems impressive now but at the time buyers complained that their previous perfectly good panthers with severed heads were no longer legal under the new edition rules

I regret to inform you that โ€œ1979โ€ by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called โ€œ2009โ€

Whoโ€™s up for some star gazing? When I was a kid, The Brown Derby was the be-all, end-all of classic Hollywood and thatโ€™s where weโ€™re going today (Weโ€™ve been here before, but not in 1936) Who else is surprised we can get a $1.00 dinner?

Italian health pass enabling bearer to pass despite quarantines due to plague, 1722. The word quarantine was derived from the Italian words quaranta giorni, meaning 40 days - the number of days a ship coming from an infected port had to sit at anchor before entering Venice.
