Well, that's not true since checks and balances include separation of powers as a pretty big part of its concept.
Had Trump been able to pass laws by decree there would for sure not be any federal elections left in the US, so the fact that there's been some since then is a pretty solid deliverable.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

@warmapper The extra nice thing is the only way people experiencing problems will know if is they read this explanation somewhere other than twitter...

Hela grejen med landsomfattande protester mot ändringar av pensionerna och så viftas lagen igenom utan omröstning kanske gör att folk är lite mindre övertygande om fördelarna med mer fredliga metoder?

TIL that „beyond the pale“ actually derives from „pale“ as in a stake driven into the ground as part of a fence (think of „impaling“ someone or „palisades“).
So its meaning of going beyond acceptable behaviour suddenly makes much more sense to me

Must have been some Chinese hackers that changed the data once it was on his computer! /s
More seriously, I guess the NYT editors didn't pass the story to a journalist with the patience to read more than the headline of the one datacolada post ...

Har du kollat på DiVA eller Google Scholar?
Spontant känns det dock inte som om det är så mycket där, Ben är ju en självgående karaktär medan hela golem grejen handlar om att det inte är helt lyckat att leka gud...

Some species have root networks that can be on the order of a kilometre think, the sort of thing that happens when a species can just grow new bits indefinitely

@kevinrothrock
seems like the crossposting mechanism can't handle longer tweets? this definitely looks like a bit got cut off

If Ayn Rand's own life wasn't enough to show that libertarianism is a failed idea, we now have further evidence.

@kjhealy “That’s right:
Two different people independently faked data for two different studies in a paper about dishonesty.”

Nice, very hands-on paper on how to run surveys in market-research panels "Using Market-Research Panels for Behavioral Science: An Overview and Tutorial" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/25152459221140388 @surveystatisticsandmethodology #surveymethods #survey #surveymethodology

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid slammed into what is today the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The impact was so forceful that it kicked a tremendous amount of debris out of the atmosphere, which then rained back down, blanketing the Earth's surface with a layer of dust.
All that debris re-entering the atmosphere created a pulse of heat so strong that it set the world on fire.
