Yeah, but you can imagine what it would be like if they were.

I hear what you’re saying, but let poetry be in poems and let direct truth be in headlines. I don’t see a reason to pretty up news.

For sure. I do understand how it was used, but it still sounds stupid. Just write, “Bruise appears on Trump’s other hand—speculations rise” or something to that effect.

Edit: I think in a world where people just read the headlines, and with many Americans reading at a low level, that people might take it more literally which I why I don’t like the headline as written.

I am commenting just because I take issue with the headline. The bruise did not spread to his other hand. He has a bruise on one hand and a separate bruise on another hand. There’s no spreading because that’s not how a bruise works. It’s not fucking contagious.

I use the Leaf, but yeah…same. So many free digital OTA channels.
