Friday, July 24, 2026 — National Drive-Thru Day

A queen without a crown. A famous “discovery” that was never truly lost. A home run that disappeared before returning nearly a month later.

Today we explore how Mary, Queen of Scots, was forced to surrender the throne she inherited as an infant, reconsider who deserves credit for bringing Machu Picchu to the world’s attention, and revisit the wonderfully strange Pine Tar Incident that sent George Brett charging from the dugout.

Along the way, we celebrate the birthday of Lynda Carter, whose compassionate portrayal of Wonder Woman transformed a comic-book superhero into an enduring cultural icon.

History is shaped not only by what happened, but by who was allowed to define what happened next.
