DC had its worst snowstorm in a decade and I haven’t seen a single guardsman with a shovel despite an ongoing, obvious need. I have seen scores continuing to stand around and waste taxpayer dollars.

actual discourse about the new food pyramid aside, it doesnt even seem to graphically represent its recommendations? whole grains are at the bottom, meaning you should eat sparingly, but the advice on the site says 2-4 servings a day. fruit says 2 servings a day yet berries/apples are near the top.

I know Banana Fish wasn't the only series with an AI dub slapped onto it, but part of me wonders if the reason why they selected Banana Fish specifically as one of the test beds was because Banana Fish is early foundational gay media and thought it would have fewer viewers and no one would catch it.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's DC troop deployment is likely illegal — both as to D.C. National Guard and and out-of-state National Guard units — granting DC's request to block the use of the troops in this way.
The preliminary injunction is stayed until Dec. 11.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
