Get ready to cringe, laugh, and maybe even take a trip down memory lane (Jell-O salad, anyone?).

Oyster Stuffing (19th Century)
Stuffing is sacred, but oysters in breadcrumbs? That’s next-level. Popular in the late 1800s, this dish was all about showcasing your family’s wealth—because nothing says “happy harvest” like shellfish in your turkey, right? Yowza! While it may sound strange today, oyster stuffing has its loyal fans who swear by the salty, briny twist. Would it be your first pick for a modern Friendsgiving? Probably not. But back then, it was haute cuisine, and everybody wanted in on the shelltastic…

Police Close Investigation into Journalist Over X Post
November 25, 2024
Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson was visited for allegedly stirring up racial hatred but Essex Police refused to tell her which post had been reported. Essex Police have closed an investigation into a journalist for alleged incitement of racial hatred over an online post they said had since been deleted. An independent review will be launched into the force’s handling of the case after a considerable media backlash over free speech and concerns over the use of police time. Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson said she was wearing her dressing gown when she was spoken to by two constables from Essex Police on Remembrance Sunday, about a year-old post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. They invited her to attend a voluntary interview at a police station, which she declined to do. Pearson said police would not tell her which post she had been reported for, leading to her having to trawl through her archive and guess. The columnist takes a pro-Israel stance on the ongoing war in Gaza, and has said she presumes it was a post expressing her views on pro-Palestinian protests which caused an unknown individual to report her to the police.

Technology Innovations Have Driven 21st-Century Presidential Elections
November 25, 2024
If you want to win in a presidential election, you have the advantage if you can innovate, whether through enhanced methods of communication, changes in the “standard politician” personality, or bringing in outside influencers). This trend began with Abraham Lincoln and continued in the 20th century. However, we haven’t stagnated since then.
