@PacificWeiss @pinknishii Probably because on pretty much all animals that have them they are above the cleft, I assume because of differences in hip angle and muscle development with humans who are bipedal while most tailed animals are not (or not as completely so as humans, for some tailed primates.)

@emkenobi 2/2 managed by the present GOP Senate majority might be a win compared to letting that move forward now.

[ICE delenda est @cmdicely]

@emkenobi 1/ I'm not sure it is substantively or politically worse for a target to survive an impeachment vote in the House vs. surviving trial in the Senate. Trump was successfully impeached twice his first term, but prevailed at trial both times. Heck, avoiding a Senate trial stage

@joshtpm 2/2 data supporting that it is the worst polling miss of the 21st century (and is that of the 13 national Congressional elections or just the 7 midterms on the theory that the Presidential-year ones are non-comparable to midterms)?

@joshtpm 1/ “Last Tuesday was the biggest polling error of the 21st century.”

Was it? There’s no longer an aggregator/predictor that is free and at the detail level of the old 538, but the poll-based projections I was seeing seemed to be very close to the final results. Where is the

@sproinkl6tv @lottemunsterttv @Artisticneed Even funnier is that even though the distribution rights were different , Hulk was part of the MCU from the beginning, with the Incredible Hulk released a month after Iron Man as a strategy to build momentum for the MCU, but it is forgotten because it was such a flop.

[ICE delenda est @cmdicely]

@lottemunsterttv @Artisticneed The second (and worst performing of the entire franchise) MCU movie, barely a month after Iron Man, was The Incredible Hulk, which kind of undercuts the “they didn't have access to the biggest Marvel comics heroes” explanation, given that Hulk was one of your listed top 3.

@ARIESSZN1 If America wasn’t an economic powerhouse, it wouldn't be able to borrow additional money at around 5.5% effective annual interest while already being in debt of about 1/3 of the global annual economic output.

@Bungus_ror “bad” is subjective, and for many people the reason they are “bad” is identical: the use of GenAI.

@fishstark All short political slogans are (literally) psyops. That’s the whole point of a short slogan.

@oncloud_e On the other hand, if English had gendered FIRST person pronouns, it would also make things easier, because then you could (except maybe with neopronouns, which would still be tricky, infer the correct third-person pronouns from the first-person ones someone used.)

[ICE delenda est @cmdicely]

@oncloud_e This would be so much easier if English used non-gendered second person pronouns. And maybe even abandoned distinctions of number and formality so that there was only one that one would ever need to use.

Oh, wait...

@justeverygh0ul @PaprusTeuton Even if there was a noncolonial outcome possible in Puerto Rico, it wouldn't justify stripping the people notionally being served of their right to self-determination on the paternalistic view that it must be better for them whatever their opinion is.

[ICE delenda est @cmdicely]

@justeverygh0ul Culturally, and even more genetically, colonialism is already complete on Puerto Rico, and that's been true since before the US got involved. (And if Israel offered Palestinians equal citizenship it would be an Arab State with a Jewish minority, which is why Israel never would.)

@wiremxther IMO, no, but small lizards are in the broader, less biologically defined group of “creepy crawly things” with bugs (monitor lizards are... something else.)

@RABIDGRAVEYARD Mtore accurately, you mean veganism/vegetarianism based on one of the many moral codes on which people have based it, in several others that is not the (or not the only relevant) moral point

@occidentanth Because the people America targets with honey traps don’t have (even the approximationm the US has of) a free media that reports on the partial (because they eventually got discovered) successes, and governments aren’t big on burning their own ops just to count coup.

@stacycay @ECaliberSeven Filibuster on SCOTUS nominees was stripped from Senate rules in 2017, and I don’t know why you’d think any Dems would support a filibuster on DC (PR is more complicated, probably doesn't break put as cleanly on party lines.)
