The state flag of Virginia consists of the obverse of the seal against a blue background. The standing allegorical female figure of virtue is shown having vanquished tyranny, symbolized by a fallen king at her feet. She has an exposed breast in the manner of classical depictions of Amazons. The motto shown on the seal, Sic semper tyrannis, means "Thus always to tyrants."

Yay, Virginia! Tits out, tyrants trampled.

Sadly, the story of many businessmen jumping out of windows to commit suicide following the Wall Street Crash of 1929 is just that--a story, untethered to reality. (www.history.com/articles/sto...)

Which is not to say that when the AI bubble bursts it couldn't suddenly become a real phenomena.

Regular reminder that political organizing, etc. is all legal in the United States. You don't need to move to Proton Mail to do that. And should these things become actually illegal, Proton Mail isn't going to keep you out of jail. And you'll get phished.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

In 2025 if your online community (regardless of topic) has a hard line of no-politics.. you're not actually creating a safe space for people.

Pretty sure they also didn’t read most of that Cold War era sci fi they rave about or actually understand Bladerunner, Fight Club, etc.

Also back to LotR… half of them literally rave about the actual bad guys and name things after them.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Give me 18 dollars of dark meat, a pecan pie, and get the fuck out of my apartment with your false scarcity and weird pricing!

Also, gonna take the bones from that dark meat, put them in water, and baby you got a stew going.

I used to march in parades as a clown.

I don't want AI. I want to stop filling out my entire medical history every time I go to the same doctor

Tag of the day: “NSFW - by which I mean there were copious health and safety violations”

Any description of him that isn’t this, the neighbor from the Cosby show, or My Dinner With Andre is cancelled.

"If you don't know what a drug is doing in your body or how it works it's upto you to realise what it is for"

I reverse engineered MaDonalds reciept/survey code generator. I can now create as many codes as I want for £2.99 meal deals. It's great for birthday parties and a valuable lesson for my kids on why Python is important in life.

You know who else… and I bet you believe in slavery don’t apply because the answer is yes to both and these people are open about it.

Appropriate on many fronts

Came home from a Halloween party and absolutely had this thought looking at my phone after being off it most of the day.

Once I realized it was baseball I was very chill about the whole thing.

Happy semi annual “Time is a Meaningless Construct” day to those who celebrate.

Also why do none of the soccer fields in this town have more than one gate? Parking being a premium I can understand but at least let us in with our stuff and kids not walk forever in cleats.

Whoever planned a kid soccer double header the day after Halloween deserves a special place in Hell

How did I miss the Jaws themed house on Ancell?!

But obviously dress appropriately and pin down capes on littles?

We’re out now so I’m gonna say no

Good point. We probably should do it in small chunks to integrate them so a small handful of unsavory types don't take over local politics by siding with their related ilk in Old Town and a couple neighborhoods west of Russell and north of King.

Also, balance with Shirlington for safety.

The only answer is to annex all of postal Alexandria.

It’s what George Washington would have wanted.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger

I saw that and just... I'm unhappy the haters were right but also weirdly happy they were happy about the wrong things.

But mostly unhappy because I have a fourth grader so we're gonna be on this ride for a while.
