By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow.

Okay, this might sound weird, but this is what I'm thinking of today. I'm assuming most of you know the idiom, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." I know it's about looking at the horse's teeth to check it's age and health, but in my heart I have an alternate history where it's about The Trojan Horse, which doesn't really even make much sense, but it's still living there rent free.

So, does anyone else do this, make up alternate histories for words or phrases? If you do, I'd love examples!

1/... The quote:

MARGARET BRENNAN: Did you meet Kim Jong Un?

#KristiNoem As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage

BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?

NOEM: I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics.

I like how social media and news sites call it your "feed". Makes me feel like a farm animal getting fattened up for slaughter so I can be divided up and sold piecemeal to advertisers.

Doesn't this fall under the description of hate speech? @IpsoNews @metpoliceuk @PoliceScotland
