I mean previously it stated that these were the two most dimorphic species. I’m guessing that due to the variance in body weight of the animals, it’s not that easy to say that they are more dimorphic than other species, because that depends upon the variable body mass of the animals. But it’s certainly a notable quality of polar bears and elephant seals that there can be such a huge difference, even if that difference grows and shrinks at different times of year.

“Pennsylvania Avenue? We’ve been getting a lot of reports about that address but I’m afraid my programming does not permit me to proceed with that request. Do you have anything else to report?”

This would be a female bear, as she is with her cubs. Polar bears are actually the second most sexually dimorphic mammal. Consequently males are vastly bigger than females.

The most sexually dimorphic? The elephant seal. Those dudes are immense.

Edit: this, I read on wikipedia a couple of years ago. The information is no longer there but the fact that polar bears and elephant seals are among the most dimorphic mammals remains. The precise ranking is perhaps a little more obscure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear

Right, but that’s public schools, not schools in general. Those are places for rich pricks to send their children so they end up becoming Prime Minister someday and any other miserable sods unlucky enough to also be inducted.

The vast majority of us go to “state” or “comprehensive” schools, which mean the same thing. There was certainly plenty of brutality handed down by the teachers in the old days and I imagine a fair amount of bullying but they don’t have the kind of storied history of Eton and Rugby.

I would but they lost my… custom. By being evil.

And to play us out, here’s Sting Jesus with Streams of Gold.

It’s a joke about how they tried introducing a Black main character but then erased him because dickheads didn’t like it. It’s not a particularly complicated joke.

What about that Black Stormtrooper? What do you mean “there was no Black Stormtrooper??” He was in that one Star Wars film. Wasn’t he??

Which planet would they be orbiting?

Labour isn’t the left. Keir Starmer lied about everything to become the leader of the Labour Party as the face of Morgan McSweeney, Steve Reed and Peter Mandelson’s “Labour Together” right wing project because they knew the membership, which is generally centre left, would never vote for them if they were honest about their intentions. They hid 75% of their donations until after the contest was over, violating electoral law.

Lo and behold, they’re doing disability cuts, trans moral panic, privacy violations, outsourcing to American tech barons and clamping down on protest rights. Starmer suspended several MPs early on for voting against the government’s policy of keeping the two child cap on benefits.

However, you are partially right that the right wing press still doesn’t approve of them and are manufacturing dissent, despite Labour’s cruel anti-migrant and pro-capital policies.

Pfft, who wants bloody hands?

I think we’re just going to have to get a lot more interested in operating systems.

No, I am your father.

You’re telling Rosa Luxemburg’s ghost we need to keep pushing for change?

Vance is Peter Thiel’s boy. Who doesn’t Thiel have dirt on?

We don’t require any lessons in English, thank you.

Some things get better, others get worse. It’s never a bad day to give up animal products.

It wouldn’t be the first time the law protected those it ought to be punishing. That is essentially the basis of our capitalist system.

Is it not clear from what I wrote that I’m:

*not American *not a liberal *not a Democrat

The only reason the Republicans ever win is because their only opposition is the Democrats and vice versa. Both parties have worked to produce the plutocracy that has not only given the world Trump but also the coups in Iran, Chile etc, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea. Just like in my country, Americans need to go for something other than the status quo, because the status quo is what got us here. To be clear, what I’m advocating is an end to imperialism and capitalism, first in the imperial core and then the rest of the world will be permitted to follow, not via Leninism but via a democratic process.

I’m confused. Are you asking me to say somebody’s name?
