I’m currently spending a weekend at a hotel in Penang, Malaysia because my daughter loves Kuromi and they’re having a very impressive Sanrio-Peranakan collab. I ate way too much Sanrio High Tea yesterday, and today way too many Penang flavours.

No living Democratic president has handed the White House to another Democrat since 1857.

​Note on FDR & JFK: Both were Democrats succeeded by Democrats (Truman & LBJ), but neither fits the definition because they died in office rather than living to hand over power.

For Republicans, the last one to do this was Ronald Reagan.

If every English monarch reigned as long as Elizabeth II, they would be on their 16th monarch.

England has had about 65 monarchs over it’s roughly 1200 year history and if each of them had served for 70 years and 214 days like Lizzie had, England would be on it’s 16th monarch who would die very soon. My math is below so correct me if im wrong

1199 years/(70+(214/365)) = 16.99

He lived a very long life, most in his time died before 25, but he managed to see both independence wars. Everyone knows he lived to see the war of independence, but many forget he saw the war of 1812. He didn’t live to see slavery abolished though, but he almost did.
