@BrentSullivan @peeppeepcircus @Ruthat some questions about how stable this system is, but no doubt it's changing fast. Need another decade of data

@DavidSalo Some of them got a lot of golf in.

@feloneouscat Agree, but also zooming out a whole 4 days gives more/different perspective:

@th3j35t3r Navalny reportedly was part of the original agreement but Putin reneged and that delayed the negotiations.

@th3j35t3r and aren't these things usually predicated (in Russia) on convictions? I think Gershkovich was convicted a couple weeks ago, after stewing in jail for a year. So the decision was at least 2-3 weeks ago. Rough math, GOP. Tiny violin.

Yeah there you are ya little rat. Got you.
First I've seen a security bit that small. Why?????

@Maude watch the doors and corners.
And windows.

For reasons only known to himself, collie bit through the battery charger cord. Going to replace the cord and wtf #ryobi used security screws. For t-10 (tiny star head)s.
Weirder still, I have a driver for them but it won't reach into the bitty cavities.
Gonna drill them out. #rightToRepair #orElse
(Yes it would be far easier to splice the cord but grrrrrr now I'm mad.)

@mcfate @TheAbbotTrithemius
Except the rugby teams. Decidedly unchill.

That's "as a result of improvements in the design of the race and ethnicity questions, processing and coding", not some massive influx, or "invasion".
These data are all published, visualized, and extensively explained on the US census website.
E.g.;
https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/08/improved-race-ethnicity-measures-reveal-united-states-population-much-more-multiracial.html

2/2

US political wonks (who presumably depend to an extent on US Census data) may be twisted up about ethnicity because the US Census changed their methodology to be more inclusive of various possibilities. No more white/black/hispanic/other. As a result today, "Multiracial population has changed considerably since 2010. It was measured at 9 million people in 2010 and is now 33.8 million people in 2020, a 276% increase." 1/2

@MrsE0113 @th3j35t3r I write "human" in forms that have a "race" field and only once has a clerk showed a sense of humor but yeah, told me to let it go. Eff that.

@th3j35t3r Reuters yesterday:
Russian-UK dissident Kara-Murza disappears from jail in latest sign a prisoner swap with West may be close

@th3j35t3r Bloomberg, unattributed. Trust that about as far as I can throw it, but UKR also noted prisoner movements a few days ago...

@catlynne333 @killingfloorman Peanuts originated in South America😱

Planned Parenthood! Ahhh I can't stop laughing. Yes yes cue up that interview. //@Alfred
