@ericschutte @camaradabakunin Predicted? probably. Admitted to? NEVER.

They just throw more billions at it and claim there is no issue.

"Cuomo’s donors included a citywide landlord lobby, pro-MAGA billionaire Bill Ackman, former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Doordash, and a $25 million super PAC that “shattered” outside spending records."

They are literally listing reasons Cuomo lost.

@JessTheUnstill Wife is American. She's there this week to sort out her aunt's life insurance policy. Then she won't go back until... later. Much later. I decided not to go, for obvious reasons.

I can't get over this sentence no matter how often I read it.

"Women showed no effects when told they were masculine; however, men given feedback suggesting they were feminine expressed more support for war, homophobic attitudes, and interest in purchasing an SUV."

@TicklishHoneyBee @alice Hey live and learn (Swedish, fluent in (American) English, but still learning new things.

Thou = Du, huh? ("Du" is singular person in Swedish, and i have wondered why English doesn't have it). 🤔

...ANYWAY my only problem "ya'll" is that it's 'singular'... To address a lot of people it's "all ya'll" 😜

@bright_helpings Accessible?

Given an hour and the right-sized socket set.

I bet those nuts are 7/8" and your socket set has 16mm and 19mm only.

If it was a real void every bolt would require a different nut driver to undo.
