I find the top three ratios interesting: there's a tiny skew towards females but a huge skew towards males.

It doesn't show what the green threshold is though. From memory, the natural birth ratio is 49:51 m:f, so the female skew is only about 3% while the male skew is about 20%. Seven times larger.

If I were colouring the map, I don't think I'd have bothered with differentiating purple and green, or perhaps used more graduations.

That's why I selected just those lines. It was an attempt at irony.

Well, Ukraine is probably also attacking Russia with Russian arms too, so perhaps Putin should nuke Russia too.

Sorry, Vlad. Can't hear you over the rattling of that sabre.

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

"Scorned" in this context is equivalent to our contemporary "betrayed".

She's been passed over for reward by Trump.

Oddly specific.

Obviously the plural of foot is feet, so the plural of book should be beek.

Or one sheep should be a shoop.

There's also the English Vowel Shift. Which means words either side of it are inconsistent.

I was thinking of Zelenskyy too. No other country's election news makes it to my eyes, so there's an inherent bias in what I have 'in mind'.

"it's ok because other people do it" is not a good argument.

Also, the scale of any activity subject to that excuse is relevant. Many electorates occasionally act weird, some electorates are notorious for the same acts.

We also know that the singular great writer in the Federation's time is Beverly's grandmother.

I interpreted it as cultural appropriation and how primitive Klingon diplomacy was that they'd make the claim directly to the people they'd appropriated from.

Came here for this reference, was not disappointed.
