If you are a graduate student doing research like this, you should be absolutely roasted and shamed by a group of your peers and your professor. They should all work together to roast you because YOU'RE A BIG BOY IN GRADUATE SCHOOL, DOING BIG BOY RESEARCH, AND YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

I've been avoiding asking here but I'm not getting hits.......I need to talk to a lawyer in Northern or Central Virginia about the circumstances of the way I was fired. Does anybody know someone? I can't get anybody to write or call me back. I am also an idiot & have never talked to a lawyer before.

I have no toilet right now and I need to go to the bathroom....

Holding the appliance company liable when the faulty toaster electrocutes you will unfairly hamper toaster innovation.

They look too handsome to disturb, I’ll finish making the bed later.

I feel confident that Dusty B would invest the money & give me a stipend so I wouldn't have to work & could stay home with him all day. Grumbles would spend it all on beads, puff balls, pipe cleaners, etc. @ the craft store. OJ would spend it on home renovations resulting in more sunbeams to lay in.

Slowly but surely working on getting the new house set up....

That episode of South Park where Cartman owns a theme park and is perfectly happy when he is the only person there and doesn't have to wait in any lines, but then he needs workers to run the rides so he has to charge people to come in to pay the workers but then he's miserable again because, lines.

This movie is from the 1980s?!! What the heck?! It feels way older than that!

My neighbor came over tonight and I made him dinner & a smoothie and introduced him to ska music while he put together my Ikea shelves & kitchen cart for me. He wasn't too keen on The Slackers or Eastern Standard Time but he loved @jokersrepublic.bsky.social & @skatunenetwork.bsky.social.

I think it's important to note that none of the courses count toward a degree right now. Credentialing isn't everything but also, what college student wants to waste money or time on an extra class that doesn't count toward their degree??? Also, don't ever tell me there's no money for higher ed.

The US no longer has a refugee program. There are many nouns to accurately describe a whites-only visa, but ‘refugee program’ is not one of them. Congress created and sustained our refugee program with bipartisan support over generations. Now Congress allows one person to simply terminate it.

gimme

Genuinely curious; what percentage of the population do you think are abusive and/or rapists? And what percentage of US politicians are abusive and/or rapists? I kind of expect people in politics to be complete pieces of shit at this point. I would be shocked if someone were not a piece of shit.

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

I need to buy a new washing machine but what if instead I bought a bunch of pokemon plushies.....? 🤔

OH MY GOD I HAVE INTERNET AT MY HOUSE NOW Still no couch or bed but, you know, priorities.

I'm alive. I bought a house within walking distance of my job..............but I was fired from my job. I am still sleeping on the floor & have no couch. My back hurts. I am slowly working on my house. I have a mountain of things to do and feelings I am not dealing with.

I see a few people saying “stop talking about the algae, there are bigger deals” and yeah sure, but the fact that the White House *thinks* the Reflecting Pool is a bigger deal than war or the economy makes it a big deal—and it is both metaphor AND embodiment of our whole squalid government now 👇

Honestly, same.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Guys, I really love @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social.

Kyle asks the important questions about homeownership.

I own a home now but it's weird that people keep congratulating me because I did nothing to deserve the money I used to buy it and nor did the person that had the money before me. Additionally, I paid too much for it but I just really needed a place to live asap because I was getting kicked out.

Why are all the tech geniuses talking about building data centers in space but I have yet to hear anyone talking about building them IN THE OCEAN??? If they are seriously talking about building in space, I am seriously questioning why they are not talking about building on the bottom of the ocean.

Honestly, I'm done with this now. If you vote me in as president, I will tear the whole thing up, maybe turn it into green space, put in some nice public restrooms for visitors, maybe one of those fountain parks people can play in and get wet. The money won't matter.

Oh no. It's me.

One of my cats knows that we are moving soon and he will not let me sleep and wants me to feed him in the middle of the night, multiple times. He is driving me nuts but damn, he gets it.

There should be a PURGE movie, but just for ska bands.

Ska Purge

Do not come for ska, Gail. We are far cooler and more powerful than Cyclops ever was.
