Pigs at the trough. The same sad story of government waste and overspending we see every damned day. It’s so common we can’t even bother to be shocked anymore. Just sickening. And stupid. No wonder our taxes are so high and our government is so broke.

Why look like professionals? Many senators don't act like ones. The tragic thing about this is that they likely would have changed the dress code for Fetterman D-PA even if he hadn't have stroked out and been left impaired. People just do not care anymore and it shows.

<p>3. 2. Jyn raised Imperial </p>

<p>So many ways to make it work.</p>

<p>Raised by Krennic. Raised by Mrs. Krennic. A hostage, an adoptee. Even child bride. Loyal Galen. Lyra alive. How about some other imperial raising Jyn?</p>

<p>4. 3. Cassian's first assignment results in Jyn Erso run-in</p>

<p>Could easily jive with above.</p>

<p>5. 4. Steela Lives AU</p>

<p>…And raises Jyn. Completely changes the character of the Partisans, and might mean that Jyn isn't ditched at 16. </p>

<p>6. 5. Partisan Jyn AU</p>

<p>In 12 After the formation of the empire, Saw Gerrera is injured. Liana Hallick, 16 years old lieutenant, becomes his apprentice and successor. She inherits it 2 years later. </p>

Okay, this made me laugh.

Also... how much are these people paid to basically say, "we don't know?"

lmao tried to report a blocked storm drain exactly where i parked my car (the street isn't fully flooded, but the water is rising; the sidewalk is a river; i picked my way across muddy grass and climbed through to the driver's seat from the passenger side rather than wade through the ankle-plus-deep water)

but it's after hours and the voicemail box is full

Okay, Drawfee fans, who’s going to design a standardized test for the Drawfee school?

#latest episode reference #drawfee #your tax dollars at work #they said it in the episode now someone has to do it

just had a federal agent threaten to ‘go get his badge’ and call the cops because his room key didnt work. until i knew he was a fed i was fully polite too, said please and thank you, kind and cheerful tone, called him sir and smiled even. might be the first time ive been face to face with an fbi agent tbh. its wild how true it is that every cop and fed and soldier and generally state empowered dickhead is just a toddler with a gun. wild to see it in person.

couldve easily ruined his day but i decided i dont give enough of a shit about my job to get shouted down by a baby with a badge so i just very sarcastically told him to have a nice day and sent him off.

#regret posting #he was fully breaking down and about to shout at me because his room key didnt work twice #like buddy im just some fuckin tired 20 something #i did not in fact have a hand in crafting the legislation #that requires me under threat of big ass fine to ask for ID when getting you a room key #in fact you have a lot fewer degrees of separation from someone who did you fbi prick #i am ALSO not your little fuckhead fed partner who put the wrong number on the reservation. #why am i suddenly worth shouting at and waving your funny little toy brass shield around #your tax dollars at work #putting this little dickhead up in a boujie ass hotel room for two nights during one of our most expensive weekends. #fuck 12

Two women issued the same Social Security Number, and the SSA won't help Jieun Kim from Los Angeles and Jieun Kim from Evanston, Illinois have more in common than just their name and birthdate — they have the same Social Security number, thanks to the conscientious public servants of the Social Security Administration (SSA). — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/02/24/two-women-issued-the-same-social-security-number-and-the-ssa-wont-help.html

1001 AUs

2. 1. Lost in Space AU

Prompt:

Broad strokes Rogue one and Lost In Space 2018 fusion 

Galen Erso with elements of Mrs Robinson and the guy who researched Scarecrow 

K2 is one of the robots. He imprints on Cassian

Caspian is in intelligence so kind of has original Don West vibes but also Jay vibes and stands in for Will. K2 imprints on him . His segment is for a while separate and his position has Don West and Doctor vibes. 

Saw has vibes of Mr Robinson. Possible stable threesome

Lyra is the medic

Bodhi is very much Don West but without the romance Arc. He's allowed on the Erso's Jupiter and is actually engineering crew

The guardians end up along for the ride. 

And Jyn? Came back from the war and function as the kids plot wise. Except for the robot plot.

She was in the British marines. 

She was discharged honorably 

Saw wasn't.

Krennic is GALENS superior. 

Draven is lead on the expedition. 

More later.

The one photo I wish I'd taken but didn't was the LED sign store that advertised its wares with a MASSIVE full color LED portrait of el-S*si's face.
