Good Morning, all
#R4Today questioned one of the Brothers of the Brotherhood of Italy about their election-winning promise of a 'Naval Blockade' to deter the boats crossing the Med. His response: "It was never meant to be a 'naval blockade' - we meant 'a negotiated agreement on borders.'"
Why not call it 'a negotiated agreement on borders' not a 'naval blockade', then?
@ct_bergstrom Why do they never perform these studies on children from high income families? #rhetoricalQuestion
@kjhealy That makes me wonder: has there ever been a major world power whose people were less interested in history than the US? #rhetoricalquestion
@StillIRise1963 How is it that a person in such a high office could be so stupid? #Sarcasm #RhetoricalQuestion

Voicehandler
Danishta Rivero and Jacob Felix Heule comprise the singular duo, Voicehandler. Rivero modifies her extended vocal technique, sometimes using a water-based electro-acoustic instrument of her own invention, the Hydrophonium. Heule performs a sonic anti-aliasing in real time through micro percussion and electronics that must be heard closely to be believed. Voice Handler's librettos have drawn upon sources as varied as Luis Borges, Knut Hamsun, Eduardo Galeano, and William Burroughs.

#IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade was about saving Henry Sr. and stopping evil Donovan from achieving immortality. Raiders was about stopping the Nazis from harnessing the power of the Ark to conquer the world. Which stakes seem higher to you? #RhetoricalQuestion

Demographers, would this survey possibly serve as a tool for quantifying the presence of these qualitative patterns in the population, thereby providing further insight into the state of the gender revolution? #rhetoricalquestion #mixedmethods

Why is that economic migrant acceptable, when others are not?
#RhetoricalQuestion as I know that he had money, the ones he preaches against do not, and usually are fleeing wars and injustice!

Should I really comply with the request of a cheating ex to delete our common photos that I privately host?
I copied today's #Morsle at 40 WPM! https://morsle.fun
It was either that or 'connect the dots' with lightning strikes in the neighbourhood.
That and wind, not the WX for unguyed crank-up towers. Probably a #hamradiocontest this weekend? What are the odds. Murphy's meteo cousin is a total #douchebag.
Weather has been raining on my #pota parade too.
How's the solar weather? #rhetoricalquestion
#stampcollecting anyone?

How can #Disney, in all good conscience, continue to do business in Florida?

Can you imagine living such an unexamined life that you can see other people as objects, aligning yourself at least tangentially with ideology that believes in rigid and cruel punishment -- and then being surprised by the treatment you receive in a prison run by authoritarians?
He's trying to appeal for compassion because he knows normal people have it and he wants to manipulate it. There will be people who will oblige. (And this is likely morally correct, in spite of the irony.)
It feels impossible to accept sometimes how narcissistic a person can be, and how effective their performative certainty of their own exceptionalism is in attracting the desperate.
