In Chenoweth’s data set, it was only once the nonviolent protests had achieved that 3.5% threshold of active engagement that success seemed to be guaranteed – and raising even that level of support is no mean feat. In the UK it would amount to 2.3 million people actively engaging in a movement (roughly twice the size of Birmingham, the UK’s second largest city); in the US, it would involve 11 million citizens – more than the total population of New York City.

Appointing tepidly pro-Ukrainians combined with Russia airing Melania’s nudes and posturing like they are worried about whether he’s under control or not; Seems like maybe this is not the worst possible outcome for Ukraine…maybe.

In my head, it’s always the Mayan pronunciation for words like Xitter.
Some sounds, like the “x” in Yucatán Maya, are pronounced like “sh”.

Seems like there’s not much granularity yet, but I tried switching sounds off and turning on priority notifications, whatever that means.
