That's a good guess! Veterinary pathologist here. The icon is an Irish design, but I come from the standard Appalachian Irish/Scottish/ native American blend and also have a tattoo based on Cherokee beadwork, so you're still right.
I wouldn't assume it based on what I've seen. Do I?
Is criticizing the government a prosecutable offense now? Edgar won't say that it isn't.

I think a lot of people don't know enough about how things are supposed to work to be able to recognize how corrupt and abnormal so much of what is happening is.
Beautiful!

This is the cyberpunk dystopia we were promised. How long until they hire the blade runners?
Honestly I never knew how to even when I was trying. I'm terrible at it, everyone sees right though any mask I attempt. So yeah, I gave up trying and I'm much happier for it
ADHD here, I'll join with you; I'm ready for war.

Yes, professional capacity. I'd like to write in a personal one but haven't had the bandwidth.

I think this is pretty well understood by now but helps confirm what many suspect The audio goes: Employee: Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow - you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday ... we would have no recourse available? HR official: Yes... as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct 11:40 AM • 2/5/25 • 168K Views
If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.
Like all the employee PII on the OPM servers!
We've been trying to reach you about your deferred resignation offer
All these emails read like a timeshare vacation scam
No need to apologize. Nothing wrong with your style of weird, I'm just glad to see you posting.
We got the absolute most disturbing email to that effect, yesterday. It said that if you know someone is doing DEIA activities you have 10 days to turn them in or there will be "consequences". Not just a snitch line; threats if you don't snitch.

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
Really? Can you find a version of this photo or a discussion of it that is dated before Jan 20 of this year?
To be fair, Temu is pretty risky and suspicious. In this case I'm pretty certain banning Tiktok is a measure to make it into a propaganda machine for the right under the premise of removing a propaganda machine for China.
Correction; looking at the shoulder details I believe this is just a bad Photoshop job. As in cut, rotate, and blur the point of connection.
