15 years since I was asked by @Telegraph to write a photo caption for a royal kiss and decided to go with something completely different that happened that day

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England

The House passed FISA Section 702 renewal yesterday. I voted NO.
This was a Uni-Party vote in favor of unchecked government surveillance without adequate warrants or accountability.

is there a word for when someone uses a lot of words to describe something but you still don't understand what they're talking about when they're done?

This is extremely funny to do to the quite elderly avatar of White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism

During his meeting with King Charles, Trump reportedly showed a dead wasp he had found to the King: "Isn’t that interesting?"

If you say that something is fake, a false flag, a setup, a hoax, a psyop, or staged before you have gathered any evidence and had a chance to analyze it, you’re radicalized, and that radicalization is impacting your ability to assess reality.

*Traces Of Texas Tech*
Willie Nelson in a late 80s Texas Tech jersey during his 1988 concert at Jones Stadium.
The performance was a special benefit show to raise scholarship funds for Texas Tech football.
Nelson would return to Jones AT&T Stadium in 2009 with Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp for “The Bob Dylan Show.” That night marked the first concert at the stadium since his 1988 appearance — and the last one until George Strait took the stage in 2026.

.@POTUS on Spirit Airlines: "I think we just buy it. We'd be getting it virtually debt-free. They have some good aircraft, good assets — and when the price of oil goes down, we'll sell it for a profit. I'd love to be able to save those jobs... I like having a lot of airlines so it's competitive."

@HeroineRipley @TripperDay @JonahDispatch @Rory_Johnston Your conclusion “my GR didn’t bite your kid” rests on a premise “GR don’t bite kids” you gave no proof for and contains your conclusion. Looks like you’ve got it to me!
English
@HeroineRipley @TripperDay @JonahDispatch @Rory_Johnston Question is maybe another bad translation. Maybe “begs the listener to accept the principle premise” would be better. But yes, your example is a perfect example of “begging the question” or “petitio principii.”

Lotta people seem to think the US blockade is a strategic masterstroke sure to end the war.
Which begs the question: why wait 6 weeks to impose one?
English
@HeroineRipley @TripperDay @JonahDispatch @Rory_Johnston You’re begging/asking your listener to assume your premise.
English
@HeroineRipley @TripperDay @JonahDispatch @Rory_Johnston So if I said, “My explanation was perfect, because I only give perfect explanations,” this would be an example of begging the question. It’s basically just another way to say “circular reasoning.” “Begging” is a clumsy translation of “petitio.” Latin: “petitio principi”
