other important languages to note include Samaritan Aramaic, Turkish (ottoman empire), and Klingon.

a screenshot from an iphone showing a new patient form for a doctors office and a portion of the drop down list for the "preferred language" section showing the following languages from 'd' to 'e': dogri, dogrib, dravidian languages, duala, dutch middle (ca. 1050-1350), dutch;flemish, dyula, dzongkha, eastern frisian, efik, egyptian (ancient), ekajuk, elamite, english, english middle (1100-1500), english old (ca.450-1100), erzya

i appreciate the inclusion efforts at my new doctor, allowing me to choose my native Middle Dutch as my preferred language.

also i think the acute sadness helped

Zach Bryan wrote an anti ICE song. officially declaring Woke 2 in full effect.

in my office on my airpods isnt cutting it

the new Wednesday album came out the same day i mistakenly rented a Jeep Wrangler for a week to go home to the country to see my mom post-cancer diagnosis and i blasted it the entire week windows down goin 80 down dirt roads and i think that's how it was supposed to be listened to tbh

these words dont mean anything and im losing my grip on reality

my tiktok fyp has switched from months of AI generated animated sagas of cats in domestic abuse/cheating situations to suddenly dozens of Sora generated videos of Stephen Hawking rolling down half pipes

#WeekWithoutDriving

www.nrdc.org/resources/wh...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

every week for me is a #WeekWithoutDriving. this post is not sponsored by @wmata.com and @mta.maryland.gov but should be 🤭 my daily commute for 4 years consists of both DC metro and MTA MARC/bus.

takes a while but beats driving and it's when i play Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Animal Crossing

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

"don't you wish you could go to Walmart.... in two thousand and two???" what. do you have encephalitis

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

the media can only understand the historical concept of nazis/white supremacists so if you're not wearing a nazi uniform or a kkk robe you're just an average american with some controversial political beliefs

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender

"quiet quitting" "quiet cracking" no im just fully crashing out on company time

just yelled at a coworker "im not doing this with you. it's been a WEEK and it's only tuesday."

will AMS accept this paper for next year y/n

...in this paper i will demonstrate the Japanese refusal of western classical music hegemony through the depiction of classical composers as demons juxtaposed against visual kei metal's ability to exorcise demons in season 2 of Dandadan.

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.

Erasing and distorting history benefits MAGA, but it is not a new project.

The US has chosen not to invest in history, culture, and education for decades. We did so on purpose because people across the political spectrum think an informed populace is bad for the economy.

If you don't think Bowser's approach feeds this, I have a bridge to sell you. She's not just betraying the people of DC, but people across the country.

this now brings us up to six (!) grand jury refusals to charge (that we know about), plus two cases filed as part of the dc surge dismissed on the us attorney's office's request

it is my fault for trying to explain pop culture to the classical musicians/musicologists at work. i should give up. tried to explain kpop stan twitter once and no one believed me

i just had to explain the economy of Taylor Swift merch to the gen Xers at work and it went about as well as you could expect. "do kids even know how to use a record player?" (ew); "they're not real fans if they're collecting/selling/trading merch" (see: all fandoms esp male-coded ones?)

For folks not in DC:
- There are full-on police checkpoints most nights
- Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC
- National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter
- Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl
- Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE

For the daily cost of deploying the DC Guard, $420,000, 9 folks could move from homelessness to housing.

This doesn't include the costs of the 4 states sending guard units to occupy DC.

We have the money to solve homelessness, but we don't have the political will.
