An excellent double-whammy for @secondmentions.bsky.social: "intricate prize" and "orbital award". Bonus points for "hoisted aloft".

In the 1890s, tariffs reduced government income, increased government expenditure, and undercut foreign investors’ confidence in U.S. reliability, leading to catastrophic effects for ordinary Americans. Tariffs haven't changed. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-love...

Trump Loves the 1890s But He’s Clueless About Them

The tariffs he keeps babbling about didn’t make that decade great. They helped usher in a depression.

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

@royalsociety.org why are you still honouring Elon Musk with a Fellowship of your society? He and his cronies are tearing down US science, blocked USAid that’ll result in the deaths of thousands from disease, and supports the Far Right. Why still honour him?? 🔭🧪⚛️ royalsociety.org/people/elon-...

What the fuck?

Alex Schultz, the company’s chief marketing officer and highest-ranking gay executive, suggested in an internal post that people seeing their queer friends and family members abused on Facebook and Instagram could lead to increased support for LGBTQ rights.

There are many stories for why we don't fasten the bottom-most button on a tailored jacket. The most widely repeated is that some king once got fat and stopped fastening this button, so his courtiers followed. Maybe this is true; maybe not. Who knows.

Man in a tan suit, white shirt, and navy striped tie. The jacket has a three button closure, but only the center button is fastened. The bottom-most button is unfastened and is pretty far from the buttonhole.

Always regret not writing more on mechanics of broadcasting in old job. Anyway, I *did not know* that the reason BBC Radio 4 still broadcasts on long wave in 2025 is that it secretly carries the Economy 7 signal for cheap overnight power on old electricity meters. c20society.org.uk/news/c20-cal...

The 21st of December was the feast of St Thomas the Apostle. On this day, the poor went 'Thomasing,’ asking for food and money. At Penmorfa, a board records the money distributed to the parish poor on December 21st. Many of our churches have similar benefaction boards.

OTD in early British television: the afternoon and evening of Saturday 12 December 1936, just six weeks into the BBC Television service from Alexandra Palace, witnessed a spectacular demonstration on the terrace just outside the studio.

Clipping from the Daily Telegraph. Headline reads: Televising an air raid. Tonight's Programme. By Our Television Correspondent. Text reads: What promises to be the most thrilling and spectacular television programme yet broadcast will be seen tonight. Territorial anti-aircraft units will repell a mimic bombing and gas attack from the air.

this appears to be the only photo of the first version of a four-engined triplane bomber that the Voisin Company were developing in 1915 by this time, some aircraft had enclosed cockpits - but few as sleek as this!? note also the very pleasing engine cowlings, and the inverted-V radiators 1/2

black and white photo of a large sleek white triplane. the middle wings start from a pair of very cowled push/pull engines, and the top wings are connected to the main fuselage by a chunky vertical spar. inverted-V-shaped radiators connect the engines to the top wing. the fuselage has three chunky wheels each side, and a larger nose wheel which is partly in a grove in the nose. the curved, wide, low canopy is very striking, and being admired by someone. two other people are walking away towards the camera
