Interesting. Why is it a misdevelopment to call something a crime when it hasn’t been legally judged as so? What language would you use?
(Also, do you think saying “crime” implies “legal crime” by default? I am not sure where OP states it was legally judged a crime, but may have missed it.)

Is that what matters?
It has not been judged a crime - but is that the standard we wish to hold each other to? If I murder someone, but am found not guilty in a court of law, then is this “not a crime (in a legal sense)”?
It’s a failure of judgement, and in truth a crime.

I agree with @senategabe.bsky.social. If you think Trump tried to violently overthrow the government (as I do, and as Democratic leadership ought to), then organising his inauguration amounts to aiding an insurrectionist - a crime. The scandal is their implicit decision to ignore insurrection.

Gabe, please can you indulge a naive but genuine question, because I’m rather uninformed about this. What is the crime that you’re referring to? If there’s a bipartisan group that is in charge of planning the inauguration, what is criminal about them doing so?

Real images are more boring than fake ones.
Left: real satellite pictures showing a little more darkness in Spain in the night after the blackout began, on the right hand side: power was already coming back (29 April 0140 UTC).
Right: the fake, manufactured 'satellite picture' that went viral.

Is there a particular field in which you dislike this usage?
Etymologically (& ignoring b)) it would be nice to retain demos and swap out kratia for the desired field. Practically this would be cumbersome given the varied applications of democratisation…
…maybe just stick with broadening access

Ah, I see. What are you measuring when you say impact? Is the study you mention published?

Sounds like the results disagree with this research from the UK, where overall demand for energy dropped by 40% - ?

Exciting - especially given the IFS 00Z this morning. What would make the SPV more tuned? Just being less strong?

Hi Simon, when you say it’s an outlier forecast, do you mean that only a small number of the ens members are showing a full SSW-level weakening?

Interesting! What does the 1000-500hpa thickness reveal that, say, 850hpa temp would not?

Is the pink dotted line the proposed route? This goes through Jordan, but not through Kuwait. Is there a reason it would need to transit Kuwait? Would Jordan pose any issues?
