Not supporting your premise then.

Were your examples of wars supposed to be supporting your premise? or were you just saying that we haven't declared wars AND ALSO if we were in actual danger Congress couldn't act fast enough?

Poker Face is an odd duck; running purely on Natasha Lyonne's charisma.

I haven't read any of the Captain Underpants books, but my nephews and niece are crazy for the Dogman books by the same author. They are amusing. They have the potty humor one may expect from the author of Captain Underpants, but are also occasionally clever or insightful.

That's a major star of book and film.

Each girl has one arm that's about a foot long and the opposite arm is about 4 feet long.
I see it as outer arms folded and inner arms extended. Left girl's outer elbow is down, right girl's outer elbow is pointed back. Right girl's inner arm is a bit bigger than I would expect, but not egregiously so, in my view.

That has nothing to do with AI. Clipboard is just where something goes after you cut when you cut and paste. That button lets you paste the link into an email or another website.

I and at least two of my siblings were raised with reusable diapers. I think my parents mostly gave up and went to disposable for #4.

The girls' arms are crossing. each has an arm around the man's neck. the arm on the left (right gir's arm) seems a bit too big, but otherwise makes sense spatially. I guess human.

I'm fine with this; Romana picked a face she'd seen before in the original series, and the new era Doctor did it with Capaldi, not to mention the Tenant redux (plus him eventually going back to Tom Baker some day). But I hate the rapid Doctor turnover, and now it's exacerbated by the shorter seasons. I barely feel like Gatwa's tenure has started.
That said, I suspect this will be a short-lived stunt, and the Doctor will settle on a different face after a bit. I'm fine with that, but when they do pick the actual replacement (or if I'm wrong about this being temporary), I hope they stick with them for at least 5 years.

I was impressed until I saw that they had battery swap pit stops. I would have expected the point of it being a half marathon rather than just a generic demo would have been how long they can operate untethered.

I see no problems with that. For me, the ethical issues only arise when people start selecting for cosmetic reasons. And in that situation, while I find it icky in general, the specific issue is for the child who may feel they were "designed" by the parent, and therefore feel as if they were property of the parent. I know that some parents instill that feeling anyway, without any scientific intervention, but being a "designer baby" would increase the pressure on that front.

We had cloud cover during totality. I watched a while and got a couple of brief glimpses. Photo-wise, probably fine; I'm not sure I would have had enough light to get a clear picture with my setup anyway.

I do like the style, reminds me of a pre-war Fallout. Though obviously it's actually a direct rendition of the Kirby illustrations. Both reflect the 50's and 60's science fiction aesthetic.
I'm not all that down on recent Marvel (I only minded the "rock paper scissors" jokes in Thor), but this looks especially good.
