Depressing when your podcast becomes super popular because someone is using as inspiration for their murderers.

Having recently read a book where the love interest was the murderer, I am very much wondering if he actually is the murderer.

A horrible picture on your visitor pass in Buckingham Palace is so much worse than an awful picture from the DMV.

She actually sold products to Comstock twice before he came back with a warrant and police officer. The one the Comstock Laws are named after.

"The other problem for many observers was that her success led not just to wealth but also to independence. Brothel madams, some of whom also became quite wealthy, were similarly criticized and sometimes harassed and had their brothels ransacked. An independent female entrepreneur was a threat to the established gender order."

"Many people view pirates in a romantic light, but there was absolutely nothing romantic about them, other than the legends woven about their exploits after they were gone."

"Long before the release of Spare, it was well known within the tight circle of royal correspondents that Charles eagerly piggybacked on reports of Prince Harry’s teenage drug use by allowing the leak of personal details about his own son to construct a “great dad” narrative that many within the press gladly printed in return."

"She terminated the pregnancies of white, middle-class, married women at a moment when newly arrived immigrants had large families, which some nativists feared was the end of American civilization as they knew it."

"Her sins were legion: by terminating or delivering the pregnancies of single women, she contributed to immorality because she helped those women—and their seducers—hide the fruits of their sins. When she secretly found new homes for their illegitimate children, she helped hide the shame that the sinners should rightfully have been bearing."

"It was a bone of contention among the female staff that, while the lowliest maid had to scrimp and save to buy her own uniform, the footman, who earned a higher annual wage than the majority of the female staff, was provided with his."

"Footmen, on the other hand, increased in value with every inch of height as the liveried uniform was considered to look smarter on the taller man. An extra premium was paid for two who were similar in stature and appearance."
