probably the most annoying person i know in DC is a self-described communist who works at DHS and takes pictures of himself flipping off HQ every morning for his close friends story despite everyone knowing he works there

the creator was concerned that "bandwagon" breeders would unethically breed more doodles to make a quick buck. and according to this interview "I find that the biggest majority are either crazy or have a hereditary problem"
It’s Wahoo Wednesday!!!! I’ve been hearing that the word “fish” is a slang term these days, but I don’t know how its used… What are some things you would call “fish”? WAHOO!!!!! 🐟🐟🐟

I call this the fan fiction-form: It’s describing a scene that in the author’s inner mind is directed by wong kar wai but the author has only read YA
new mammal (ctenomys uco) just dropped and i don't see anyone celebrating this monumental achievement of a new Rodent Guy that Makes Us Smile. it's like you don't even care about this small-sized tuco-tuco of the c. mendocinus species group

i HATE their human eyes. uncanny valley type shit. never met a doodle that wasn't annoying without something else charming or weird to counteract that annoying-ness
my favorite friday night activity is taking an edible and reading academic articles like i'm watching a football game (lots of hooting and arm flailing) and i cannot wait for friday, i found something real good:

she clearly did not engage with the vast possibility of space in the "incredible" writing if she didn't get to any of the many characters talking about race and nationality in DE. the narrative system is "insanely well crafted" because it explores political tensions
The end of history is not only the impossibility of new systems of governance and economics, it’s also the impossibility of anything but three reboots in ten years
BREAKING: Big retail corporations made nearly $15,000,000,000 during the pandemic while most halted hazard pay for their workers.
As the pandemic rages, the rich are getting richer – and workers are getting sicker.

Watching the Palestine demo gather in DC and wondering why Jews & Zionists are ceding the public square...where is our March on Washington? Are we too scared to have our voices heard? And doesn't the right to freedom of assembly (with police protection if necessary) apply to us?
Boohoo you can’t play video games without some people online saying mean words to you, some kids in Afghanistan just wanted to be alive but they were victims of drone strikes from you lot
@JordanUhl
it's such a shame we'll see this boiled down as "squad mean to biden" and not "DOD should be in civilian control to counter what few military–industrial complex impulses it can"

“The movie about how complacency is a form of violence was not sufficiently violent for my taste. I don’t understand why they didn’t show more dead bodies in this movie about the banality and mundanity of evil.”

sorry to reply -- someone RT'd this onto my feed, but for anyone who hasn't heard this tip yet always send your resume as a PDF!!!
being on jeopardy was a life-long dream and unfortunately fulfilling that dream at the ripe age of 24 has filled me with an insurmountable deluge of ennui that can only be mitigated by winning more game shows
Make sure you watch me on

Drink along at home!

For the past six months I've been researching the military-video game complex, from $millions in AI R&D, Army-sponsored FPSs, and a twenty-year recruitment project. This is (hopefully) the first of many articles to come. Enjoy! Fight me in the replies!

Sen. Tom Cotton: China "could possibly have nuclear overmatch against the United States before the end of this decade, is that correct?"
Adm. Philip Davidson: "If they were to quadruple their stockpile Yes."
bitcoin is just stupider stock ownership. its value is derived from no labor whatsoever and it appreciates over time for no reason except it's programmed to but there is a finite number of coins that can be possibly mined so it's actually more unequal and unfair than fiat

like if you have to use your communism brain for something do something useful like HUD grant policy or counting grains at USDA, don't use it to put kids in cages

aha, indeed, ilhan omar calling a billionaire who happens to be jewish a billionaire is antisemitism and yet antone melton meaux repeatedly conflating jews and israel is totally kosher. mhmm. going to play my jew card here to say AIPAC is much too powerful.
@islamphobiacow
if you check out her twitter profile and her resume, it's easily to learn miss wilder is jewish, making this even more egregious. we can't even speak out against our own community?
if you are in the QRTs and you see this. i am the original designer of this and you should buy the sticker/shirt from ME. not a bot. please and thank you.
if you are the artist who painted these (at dupont farmers market in dc) please speak up! or if you know what stand this is so that I can try to find the artist pls lmk so we can support the creative genius behind these :3
here's how bernie can still win: send your wine aunt every single gravel institute video until she develops some class consciousness and forms a union. let's beat prager u at their own game.
The long wait is over. We're proud to announce the launch of the Gravel Institute, fighting PragerU on its own turf. Watch this video to find out what we're doing – and hear a special surprise.
@cervixpiercer
the post your QRTing also is unfairly minimizing what rehabilitation looks like. it's not just a pat on the shoulder. it looks like therapy and counseling and community service (among other things). it's not just "are you sorry? okay you can go now"
American University’s intern culture is so toxic, expecting kids to do, what? three, four—five? internships in 3-4 years, probably unpaid.
Or, if you take them for credit, you pay for them with your tuition dollars. It’s hell here.
just watched a tiktok of a girl claiming DC's streets are "so confusing" because they were "designed to confuse invaders"... THESE STREETS? the ones in a grid that are numbered and lettered in order?! read a book i'm begging you😭
I know you guys are tired of hearing about how the Army is getting pwnd on Twitch, but until parents know that the Army is trying to *recruit kids as young as 13* on Twitch (and also until parents learn what Twitch is tbh), I'm gonna keep exposing them

this is like a really well-known thing about dogs and dog breeds, they have different temperaments. for instance, pugs are chill dudes, retrievers are adventurous, etc. people aren't the only things with personalities :) dogs have rich internal lives too
When I won jeopardy I got a lot of DMs from middle aged men telling me to spend the money on a nose job. Why would I neuter myself? In what world would you tell someone to spend money to be less sexy
@roun_sa_ville
this is like when your second grade teacher makes a list of class rules by asking the kids on the first day of class to help create the class rules. do not make fun of the children they tried their best

man, even forgetting the ethical pitfalls of AI image training, how little do you respect the craft of documentary and yourself to generative fake images. these people should be blacklisted from any documentary work ever again
Today, remember the American taking of Baghdad, the children who died in clothes stained with their mother's blood, doctors forced to look upon neighbors dipped in a Tigris turned Acheron, and the unfathomable cruelty and pain invasion and war bring.
the portion* of americans (~6%) who claim to be licensed to operate a SSGN is the same as the portion of americans (6%) who think they could take on a grizzly bear unarmed and that is why i am proud to be an american
My 15 minute, but often shorter, psychiatrist appointments—just to check in and say I’m fine with my dose of concerta—cost $275/sesh
That’s over a thousand dollars a year just to say hi. There are no psychiatrists in network in DC for me. It’s absurd when it doesn’t have to be.
