'Not a serious argument': Legal experts tear apart Trump’s newest SCOTUS filing https://www.alternet.org/trump-responds-jack-smith-filing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

The US State Dept statement is sort of funny: "The United States welcomes the release today of all six wrongfully detained U.S. nationals from Venezuela — Joseph Cristella, Eyvin Hernandez, Jerrel Kenemore, Savoi Wright, and two individuals who wish to remain private — as well as the release of four additional U.S. nationals."

So they recognize that 4 of the US nationals were detained in a manner other than "wrongly"

Probably includes the guys who invaded the country

I don't even like #Christmas music that much but I really enjoy All Songs Considered's Christmas specials: Old timey radio play vibes, musical guests, and excellent holiday music selections.

They have not done one in several years so I was very pleased they did one this year!

These ancient peoples clearly knew things the archaeologists are hiding from us! 😂

If it has six segments on the abdomen it is a female (males have eight)...at least that is what I have read. Mid-December in Valencia, but you can still see them in the park where I usually go. There is a three day difference between the two photos, but I think it is the same specimen.

Si tiene seis segmentos en el abdomen es una hembra (los machos tienen ocho)…al menos es lo que he leído. Mediados de diciembre en Valencia, pero aún se las puede ver en el parque al que suelo ir. Hay una diferencia de tres días entre ambas fotos, pero creo que es el mismo ejemplar.

Wenn sie sechs Segmente am Bauch hat, ist sie ein Weibchen (Männchen haben acht)... zumindest habe ich das gelesen. Es ist Mitte Dezember in Valencia, aber man kann sie immer noch in dem Park sehen, in den ich normalerweise gehe. Zwischen den beiden Bildern besteht ein Unterschied von drei Tagen, aber ich glaube, dass es sich um dasselbe Exemplar handelt.
