Interpreters are easily one of the most exploited groups of employees I have worked with. Because they’re often considered contractors, they lack the protections of the companies they’re working for, and their deployment companies don’t compensate for the level of skill and training.

A missile has hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Attention seeking behavior….. North Korea fired about 10 ballistic missiles toward the sea of Japan on Saturday, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, days after Pyongyang warned of "terrible consequences" over ongoing South Korea-US military drills. u.afp.com/SLfU

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

the ai is bad but what kind of human donkey hybrid thought it was a good idea to arrest this woman at all? the judge who couldn’t be bothered to engage his brain before signing the warrant needs to be held accountable as do all the various court employees, cops, and pd admin who participated. stupid

RO KHANNA CYCLE STRIKES AGAIN

that son of a bitch is doing it again

god damn. quit your job and snitch then. first person to do it gets the good wikipedia article, with a whole set of subpages about the downfall of trump ii and their role in it. anyone who wants a legacy: now is the time to earn it by turning state’s evidence. and they’ll get Rich from it

“Some senior aides and U.S. diplomats who manage Middle East affairs were told little to nothing about plans for the war. They learned the bombing had started from social media and news reports.”

Holy shit I hit The Woke Ginger with the hemolytic injector from RE9 and it worked. It was just a prank I didn’t think it would work on him!!! Oh my god oh my god

everyone is sleeping on the dirty bomb, and out of all the ways things go Become Worse, that’s the one that scares me the most. no practical way to clean up if one goes off in down town somewhere

siri please play mexican club dnb dubstep yes siri the top shelf stuff for disassociating in the club during the meltdown of the global hegemonic order youtu.be/Y52BOae8RcI?...

i’m not dooming, but i also need to like… stop harboring expectations that anyone in the federal government is ever going to do any gay woke shit, like upload their oath to protect and defend the constitution, or make choices that consider implications any deeper than their own personal enrichment

vibes are rotten. maybe closing some tabs will fix them

I wish I was able to handle American?/Israeli? bombardment of my Baghdad with more grace & dignity & without these embarrassing online crashouts but we have been doing this since my birth & I am beyond exhausted. I just want America to leave us alone & I am so sick of having to do all of this again.

also this! AOC, who is highly educated and talks like it, scans as a centrist swing voter's stridently leftist successful adult daughter, not some unimaginable radical

When challenged by the President of the United States in the White House in front of the national media on the worst polling aspect of trans rights and arguably the lowest point for trans rights Janet Mills stood and said "See you in court" Graham Platner says that was a waste of breath.

webp is fine, actually. send skeet mute thread

Qatari authorities evacuated parts of Doha's Msheireb district, which includes government offices and a Google GOOGL.O office, early on Saturday, witnesses said.

finally. some good news. now let’s hurry up and sequence this thing’s dna

attacking random jews today, is exactly as counterproductive as attacking random muslims was post 9/11. hurting people who have no more control of the world than you or i, puts us all in even more danger, not less

An American airstrike on my neighbourhood in Baghdad tonight, in 2026. I've been dealing with American airstrikes on my hometown my whole life and I am 40 years old. Call me entitled all you want but I genuinely believe that I deserve better.

The secret in Dallas is that everywhere is nowhere

what are they going to do? stab me?

If you are in the ranks or just aware of the extent of what happened to Prince Sultan Air Base since the war started, @taskandpurpose.com wants to hear from you and how troops are doing. Reach out on signal I'm at nslayton.12

fully automated luxury getting kicked by a horse in the head

It was either America or Israel that bombed my neighbourhood in Baghdad tonight. The most likely target was a TV channel belonging to a pro-Iran Iraqi Shi'a militia. The target was missed and a civilian house was hit instead. I am so so so so so mad!

“Fuck! I’m dying!” during a press conference. “Fuck! I’m fucking dying! Oh God, it hurts! Ahhhhhhh!” Trump said in response to a question about the ongoing war in Iran

a glorious pile

right to defend itself = right to destroy every piece of civilian infrastructure within 250km of Israel apparently

Gap down 2%, green by lunch

Yeah OK sure, and then what? In the most likeliest of scenarios there will be no resurrection of the SLA and Hezbollah will in all likelihood receive a resurgence in its perception as resistance group a la 1985-2000. And even the IDF admits that most rocket attacks happen north of the Litani now.

The radical anti-tax activists have driven up our national debt to make themselves richer. It's the same playbook private equity has used to get rich killing companies. It is time to build our future instead of looting it: bethfordemocracy.com

the us military has clearly wanted to do this for years now. we started planning the midnight hammer strike in 2004. the idea that it ended there is deeply unserious

aged like shit

This is a good thing and will be valuable in the future, but the Governor needs to end the state's 287(g) agreement and the Legislature must take action on ICE's presence in courthouses. I think many of us are angry that more impactful actions are not being taken.

iran’s not going to give up, trump will throw a fit, and our brave beautiful soldiers will salute and say “yes sir!” when the rotting pedophile tells them to anihilate 10,000,000 innocent civilians in tehran with a nuclear weapon. if they’ll fire a tomahawk on a kindergarten, they’ll nuke a city

Death to slopulism You WILL pay the taxes You WILL pay the utility rates You WILL NOT pass full cost burden onto folks with unimaginable wealth because that's just about as good as handing them even *more* power.

the middle class will be taxed. you will pay the transit fares. shoplifting is bad. you will live as a civilized person in a mutually co-operative society or you can live in the woods like the animal you are.

horny moms in your area are all thinking about doctor robby

this triple whammy of Dems coming out with big tax cut proposals is dangerously close to negatively polarizing me against "tax the rich" rhetoric EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PAY THEIR TAXES

HAPPENING NOW: The Friday evening commute is being impacted by a train derailment near Boston's South Station. on.nbcboston.com/jN9klzE

safety net? what safety net?

imagine if we lived in a country with a functional legal system. i bet this case would set a prosecutor up for the rest of their career

this is one of my favorite tricks of exculpatory capitalism. as long as doing the wrong thing pays the most, there’s a whole body of law requiring people to do the wrong thing. very clever little trick that allows those involved to shrug and claim they had no choice, while counting blood money

i’n fucking dying. this is going about as badly as it possibly could. great work everyone. huge shoutout to the pentagon and state department for fucking up in such spectacular fashion, we’re going to lose global reserve currency status

reskeeting w alt text the Congressman's horrendous statement, Politico downplaying that statement, the Congressman then doubling down like no no I said what I said fuckin yikes all around
