2024-08-26 07:53:25 +0000 UTChave you read Ragtime? it was the breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner, supper era of the bougie American diet. then Taft was elected and that shamed the American upper class to go on a diet.

2024-02-20 17:53:26 +0000 UTCTo be fair to McKinley/Roosevelt, I think this was still sorta the “Breakfast, Dinner, Supper” era of American English, so maybe a ‘dinner pail’ makes sense, idk

2023-12-07 00:43:43 +0000 UTCI used to teach high school history professionally. I had to cover this period rather quickly as the curriculum started in the Gilded Age. This ep taught me how good the 2nd Harrison was, which I somehow glossed over at the time. I did know that Cleveland was a suck-up to oligarchs so at least covered that. Oh, yeah, if Mitt Romney listened to this ep & heard about the start of Corporate Personhood, I bet he'd get a sympathetic stiffy.

2023-12-04 18:54:16 +0000 UTCCleveland does seem like he sucks paying a Polish guy to fight a war for him, but finding out your dad died from a guy selling you a newspaper sucks

2023-12-01 00:58:26 +0000 UTCjust writing down here so I remember it: the bet is Non-Consecutive Trump Terms, with 3 popular vote losses, but with INCREASING vote totals. (the last part seems like the toughest bet now given the general cratering in popularity of Biden/Trump...seems like a low turn out year...but total votes have been trending up last few elections!) Does anyone know where/how I can place parlay political bets
