Yesterday’s was about someone executed in 1939. It is the nature of the site, which is sort of a specialized “today in history”.
It's a historical site, of executions.
Talk about NOT reading.
I think she wanted the boyfriend and the money. She could have escaped with just the boyfriend easily enough back in 1977.
Never a bad time to remember that our choose “ally” allows a grandfather to murder his granddaughter in public and thinks it’s fine.
Glad she is being remembered,
The real question is why you rushed to the defense of Saudi Arabia.
In cases of a few worldwide, scattered, ongoing despotic royalties from past to present, "conservative" means sticking to ages-old, sometimes barbaric customs and traditions...which is the case here. Not like our "conservatism".

Ah, I see... Imagine what was going through his mind at the end. If she’d denied the affair, she might’ve saved both their lives.
Apparently there are folks who do find it interesting from the point of view of history. And fwiw I have been known to post digitized copies of newspapers from the land of long ago, usually the New York Tribune. History bores some people. Others enjoy it. Your mileage may vary.
Thank you. You get it.
I don’t care about the cryptograms, so I don’t click on those threads. Never have. And I would never go on the thread and post that I don’t care and think cryptograms are stupid.
I like cat videos as much as the next person. But I don’t think the person on FR who posts cat videos posts the best cat videos out there, so I don’t go on that thread. And I’ve never gone there to say that there are far better cat videos out there.
I just click on the threads that interest me. Ask a question of someone if I think they might have a good answer or are onto something that they may need to flesh out a bit. Offer my opinion or bit of knowledge if I think I have something to offer. Counter a point made by someone if I think there is a another way to look at something. That sort of thing.
She was executed for political reasons
Her elderly very ugly husbands family were royal too
And mattered too much for gramps to ignore
True patriarchy oppression ladies
I don’t make the videos, I merely find something that’s cute that folks might enjoy. I also have no idea how one defines “the best cat videos.” Offer some suggestions. Besides, if you’re not looking at the videos, how would you even be able to make a conclusion that they’re subpar ?
I have looked at the videos. I don’t find them as entertaining or cut as other cat videos when I search for cat videos on YouTube, so I’ve long stopped clicking on the cat video posts.
I don’t care what you do as far as the cat videos posted. I ignore those posts because I don’t find value in them, but I’ve not gone on them to say I don’t care for them.
I am sure a lot of people don’t care for my posts, so they simply don’t click on them.
There are a lot posts I don’t bother clicking on. Sometimes I click on a post, read it a little, and find it is not at all what I thought and is not interesting or stupid. I just move on.
If all that happened is I wasted a minute or so, so be it.
I’ve bought plenty of products that didn’t work as well as I hoped or tasted terrible and never bothered writing or sending an email to the maker. That’s life. I can handle clicking on a post and being ever so slightly disappointed. I didn’t pay anything.
Hey, y’know, I take suggestions. If you want to see a particular breed in action, just say as much. If no one says anything to me, I won’t know.
It's one thing to "enjoy history" but not ALL history is interesting. Some of it IS boring. I can't really believe that you find ALL history interesting. That would be silly and you don't seem the silly type. There has to be something in the news that you don't "enjoy."
One thing about newspapers. About two years ago there was a terrific windstorm where I live. From between the houses a daily newspaper flew out. It was from 1955!
The news on that day was the same as it was yesterday and today. Nothing new. Since news involves people it can't change THAT much. People have been killing, lying, stealing, robbing and otherwise committing all kinds or misdemeanors since we humans got off our fours.
Things like the first moon landing, the Berlin Wall coming down, presidential assassination attempts are NEWS for the world. But all news can't be "interesting." That would make you some kind of idiot.
