When King George VI and Queen Elizabeth arrived in Winnipeg on May 24, 1939, they were joined by Prime Minister WLM King, and met Mayor John Queen.

All those similar names created this confusing segment of the radio broadcast on CBC:
“Oh, there's the King -- he's stepping out, followed by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, nattily attired in a silver coat.
Mr. King is now shaking hands with the King and introducing Mr. Queen to the King and Queen and then Mrs. Queen to the Queen and King.
They are now proceeding up the steps to the well-decorated City Hall, the King and Mr. King together with the Queen being escorted by Mrs. Queen. The King has now stopped and said something to Mrs. Queen and goes to Mrs. Queen and the Queen and Mr. King and the Queen laughed jovially. The King leaves Mr. King and goes to Mrs. Queen, and the Queen and Mr. King follow behind....”

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

A Dutch talk show invited a climate activist to talk about "proper ways to protest" aka if you really should be glueing yourself to stuff and tossing soup onto paintings.

AND THEN HE GLUED HIMSELF TO THE TABLE.

5/5 Highly entertaining

Sometimes, having to start a task can be the hardest and most frustrating thing in the world to me. I often force myself to sit down and start working but I only get irritated until I cry. This is so hard to explain.
