For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'
You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).

My producer sent this to me and off the headline I was like "oh right, so she got hit by a loose round"... but then when you see it... like, that officer saw she was a reporter and shot her ~on camera~. Absolutely wild. Hope @laurentomasi.bsky.social is ok.

A ‘snafu’ is a situation marked by errors or confusion.
‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.”
Yes, really.

Language is great
"Pipe down!"
Aboard a ship, a boatswain's pipe is used to relay orders.
To dismiss a crew, the pipe is sounded, and the command "pipe down" is given.
Because it got much quieter after the dismissal, the command became associated with quieting down or making less noise.

Fuck me dead. Fascism sure is on trend right now
Liz Truss at CPAC Hungary,
"It used to be the case that people would flee Eastern Europe to go to countries like Britain where there was freedom, where there was free speech, where there was free enterprise"
"Now people are leaving Britain, to come to Budapest to talk about free speech"

This Tottenham squad will go down as legends. They have accomplished what Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Luka Modric could not.
Son Heung-min might now eclipse Kane as the best player in Spurs’ modern history.
Kane left to win a trophy, Son stayed to prove the doubters wrong.

It’s a terrifying world when Pence is the moderate in the room
Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"
