paramedic/EMT dick is so good omg :o i hadn’t thought about that one

i have seen social worker dick which also felt really appropriate (also love that for jason) but!!! EMT actually feels like it works better to me???

thank u for putting that thought in my head~

ahhhhhhh!! i am so ecstatic i could put the thought of emt/paramedic!dick in your head hehehehe

paramedic!dick is so special to me<3 it very much i think hits what dick needs and wants out of his civilian life but also directly influences his vigilantism too

my main three takeaways are these:

it's a highly rewarding but deeply traumatizing career and it scratches his innate need to help people without violence & fear

it's a little bit more training than a police officer but i think covers a field of knowledge dick knows but doesn't know intimately like he does criminal justice or law. it would also benefit his "night" job to be more equipped to handle traumatic injuries

ems schedules are chaotic and all over the place especially if the garage is down a paramedic or ALS provider or just overall understaffed but the overall structure of it would be good for dick (if he can balance his work-vigilantism life healthily, depending on how you write him)

#asks #ladytauria #i got halfway through an essay and decided not to infodump on you askfgsjkgbsjgb #but yeah ems is one of my niches i feel i know too much about but i am just very passionate about it #but i also truly believe it would be a better profession for dick than police officer (blegh) #like there's just so much potential in this career for him #the community aspect; the balance of heroism and trauma which parallels his trajectory as Nightwing; the balance of work and home life #(which can flip between healthy or unhealthy) #the training and the role of ems in society esp in regards to the trifecta of first responders #you can easily deal with the same things dick did as a police officer but as an ems provider and it would be better ethically and morally #also the idea of him being able to help others without violence and fear is such an interesting thread to pull on like omg???? #and then just the angst potential bc the job is just as traumatizing and frustrating as vigilantism; the cycle of burnout and exhaustion #(which can also be a downside writing-wise like he's already traumatized enough by being Nightwing maybe his day job shouldn't be) #i could talk all day about the potential akfgnkasjg apologies for the ranting-gushing lol #dick grayson #paramedic!dick grayson

Philosopher and presidential Green Party candidate Cornel West currently owes more than half a million dollars between unpaid taxes and unpaid child support, according to tax records.

Records show West owes nearly $466,000 in federal income taxes from 2013 until 2017. This came after he accrued (and later repaid) a debt of nearly $725,000 from 1998-2005, and more than $34,000 in 2008, according to tax records in Mercer County, New Jersey – where he owns a home.

Additionally, West has an outstanding $49,500 child support judgement from 2003, records show.

The debts were first reported by The Daily Beast.

The tax debts have not been paid off as of 30 days ago – the last available data, according to Mercer County records. ABC News reached out to West and his campaign to see if West had plans to pay off the debt or set up a payment plan; they have not returned those requests for comment.

The outstanding child support payment is owed to Aytul Gurtas, his former partner and mother of one of his children. ABC News was unable to reach Gurtas for comment.

While it's not clear how long West didn't pay child support, New Jersey family lawyer Kathleen Stockton said that the amount of money appears substantial. The average U.S. child support obligation is about $5,800 per year, according to census data, making West's nearly $50,000 more than eight times that.

Stockton noted that it is possible West paid Gurtas and didn't register it with the court – though West has given no indication of that.

When the question of his debts was brought up on The Breakfast Club radio morning show last week, West told the radio show host "Charlamagne the God" that they were being used as a "distraction" from his presidential campaign, which has focused on ending poverty, mass incarceration and environmental degradation.

"Any time you shine a flashlight under somebody's clothes, you're gonna find all kind of mess, because that's what it is to be human," West said.

Earlier on the show, West mentioned he was "broke as the Ten Commandments financially, personally, collectively."

West's debts are personal, not related to the campaign, so they may not directly bear on the finances of his candidacy. Still, personal finance issues have been known to interfere with campaigns: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's sometimes imprudent management of his own finances were scrutinized during his 2016 campaign for president, and then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's personal debt seemed to undermine his message of fiscal hawkishness.

According to West's financial disclosure filed with the Federal Election Commission in August 2023, he currently makes at least $200,000 annually. That includes his professorship at the Union Theological Seminary, where his annual income falls upward of $100,000; his speaking engagements, where he makes at least another $100,000; and his retirement fund, which earns him somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000 annually. His spouse, a professor, makes at least $50,000 per year.

Kedric Payne, an ethics lawyer with the Campaign Legal Center, said in an email to ABC News that the U.S. Office of Government Ethics advises candidates to disclose debts the size of West's.

"The federal disclosure law requires candidates for president to report liabilities owed over $10,000. Child support is excluded, but OGE advises that overdue taxes are reportable. If West in fact owes taxes, voters have a right to know why this isn't disclosed," Payne wrote.

West's associate, author Christopher Phillips described West as "authentic" and someone who hasn't hesitated to spend his own money to help others.

Phillips, who said he has known West for eight years, said that when he first met West over the phone, the scholar volunteered to lecture and spend time with his students at the University of Pennsylvania, where Phillips was a writing fellow.

"He said he could come down on his own nickel, and he spent the entire day breaking philosophical bread with my students … just because he likes what I do," Phillips said.

The campaign did not respond to ABC News' multiple requests for comment.

Also I am VINDICATED that literally all bosses and p.e.s at my new job has said to me "wow you're good at this. This is the fastest anyone has picked this up. You'll advance fast if you actually stay here" Because I can spot design flaws that take like idk engineering sense? I just know what kinds of things are important in design.

So vindicated that I'm a good engineer. Vindicated that I held that company together. They can keep it going (because I set them up to be able to do that) but there is nothing to hold them together. I told the principals that what they'll lose with me is someone to make sure all the parts of the business work together and someone who can make holistic solutions, and that's what they're seeing.

The implication was always that I wasnt a talented engineer. That's what they thought from literally week two (which I know from sources). I wonder what about me made them think in two weeks I was bad at engineering 🤔 I wonder what about me made them think that when I was still learning things like who our customers were and being introduced to people 🤔 literally before I ever took on an engineering project 🤔 not sure! A mystery!

As I was saying in the 'think of things no one has thought of' business class: I have come up with industry standard systems. Is it small? Yes. But it was 100% my design with no co-designers.

#totes bro #is this me not being humble? maybe #but I legitimately think im good at engineering. like i really think im not bad at it #now that everyone around me keeps telling me im good at engineering at the new job (lol) #working in an over 50% female (over 50% nonwhite too) office is great because people dont automatically assume im an idiot #the misogyny in engineering is unbearable #apparently all of the contractors my coworkers work with commit misogyny crimes regularly so its not my imagination #also our whole kind of thing is men make us do their work for them for free because we check for the publics interest #and they dont even try to work inline with what is best. they just try to get away with shit. #EXCEPT for the female PEs! they try to do a good job! so we dont have to pick up their slack #anyway women are simply better engineers. having everyone assume youre bad at engineering makes you better imo #will anyone ever tell you youre better? no. #OH. ALSO. at my last job if the fraud engineer sales guy presented my solutions and products as his own he would get praise from customers #so i eventually stopped saying things were my designs because at least i could get credit that they were good when he presented them #this isnt engineering ethics this is me bitching about misogyny #also with the last post all fields are subject to the military industrial complex. let mech e (and aerospace but you should have known) is #a specific hell because its such a conservative engineering still

I am so glad that everyone else is ALSO melting down over that pic of Lily and Oscar at dinner. Her bright smile. The softness in his face. The sweetness of his smile. The way he nudges his face into her hair (I noticed he also nuzzled her hair after Silverstone quali, too!). Our boy is in *love*. And not just love, but L-O-V-E. I'm dying. I'm dying.

It warms my heart how everyone supports their relationship and just being happy for them 🥺🥺🥺

Everything about that picture is just pure happiness and love radiating off them 🥹 the close proximity, their heads touching, Oscar’s soft smile and Lily’s beaming one 😍😍

I NOTICED THAT TOO 😩 and how he held her close by her waist, playing his big hand on her lower back 🫨🫨🫨 god boyfriend!oscar is truly something else 🥰🥰

Them being high school sweethearts and still unbearably in love is so special 🫠 once in a lifetime moment 🫶🏼 I feel like Oscar keeping it private helps them big time, media and fans can be toxic and ruins all the pure and lovely things 😭

#asks #anon #sorry for the late reply #I’m still settling in with our new work ethics… #sneaking off my office just to catch my phone once or twice a days 😩 #but god I could talk about Lily and Oscar for days 🥺 #their relationship is something I’ve never seen in f1 in ages #reminds me of Seb and hanna

More thoughts on Bruabba no one is surprised but I’m obsessed with the fanfics that portray Bucciarati as reluctant to enter into a relationship with Abbachio because he’s technically kind of Abbachio’s boss. Not because it would be an issue if they broke up, not because of anything reasonable, just the optics of dating someone who is technically his subordinate. Like is Passione’s Head Mafioso of Human Resources gonna call them into his office? Have a talk about office romances and power dynamics? Gonna make them take one of those two hour HR courses? It’s up there with “Bruno does paperwork” for me as a fanfic trope.

#mine #bruabba #jjba #bruno bucciarati #leone abbachio #and I also know it’s meant to make Bruno look principled #but I seriously can’t see anything besides Bruno imagining the HR paperwork this would rain on him and getting a headache #it’s so funny to me #polpo mediates and makes them sign a declaration of romantic intention within the office form #bruno has to take an HR course on interpersonal relationships within and without the workplace #I have big love for the fanfics that treat the mafia like a nine to five it makes me giggle #“hmm dating your subordinate. That’s unethical. good thing this is the mafia and we kill people and sell drugs.” “what was that last one?” #”nothing bucciarati.” #like YOURE THE MOB WHY IS THIS YOUR ETHICAL LINE IN THE SAND #YOUVE KILLED PEOPLE #also yeah bucciarati canonically sees Abbachio as his equal and looks up to him as an elder I know #abbachio is a whole six months older than bruno but that’s just being gay in your 20s

Gael García Bernal in También la lluvia (2010, dir. Icíar Bollaín)

(these gifs also feature Luis Tosar and the back of Cassandra Ciangherotti's head)

(and somehow manage to not feature Juan Carlos Aduviri because he and Gael are rarely in frame together)

#gael garcía bernal #también la lluvia #ggb filmography gifs #gael garcia bernal #this is luis tosar (and juan carlos aduviri)'s film really (although gael has lots of screen time and second billing) #just in terms of who gets the biggest character arcs #excellent supporting cast #all the characters are fully rounded people and feel very plausible as a group working together with established relationships #it's really good (note my incisive critical analysis there) #touches on racism / colonialism / what narratives survive in history / impact of imf and world bank / employment relations and ethics #filmmaking / creative obsession / idealism vs. pragmatism vs. actual human relationships #plus water rights and grassroots protests obviously #there is an interesting interview on youtube with icíar bollaín #obviously when you're making a film that deals with the ethics of filmmaking there are certain expectations #also the very first version of the screenplay years earlier was for the film that they are shooting within this film #and then the stuff about bolivia and about shooting the film got added later in subsequent iterations of the script #side note i love how the film they are making plays out in sebastián's head when he's reading the script or shooting individual setups #of course this took $5.8 million at the box office while letters to juliet took $80 million #no one ever said life was fair #not that i'm still bitter about letters to juliet #(i am totally still bitter about letters to juliet)

#the ethics of the commanding officer situation and the power dynamic is a conversation we can have but i think it’s important to remember #that these men? are NOT REAL! #they can’t be hurt or offended! it’s okay! you can relax about fictional characters #i mean i’m not relaxed about star wars at all but like. i’m not out here bullying other because they find happiness shipping two #fictional men #it’s just blowing my mind. can we grow up? please? #codywan #sw tcw

Justice Department prosecutors have charged Rep. George Santos with federal offenses, three sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News, the most significant escalation in a growing pile of investigations that have plagued the first-term lawmaker since before he even took office.

One source said that Santos could surrender at the federal courthouse in the Eastern District of New York in the morning, and is expected to make a court appearance on Wednesday afternoon. A congressional source said that Santos learned about the charges on Tuesday. His lawyer has not returned requests for comment.

The New York Republican, who faced legal and political pressure to resign from Congress after he admitted to lying about parts of his background, is the subject of multiple investigations into his finances and other issues.

No court documents associated with the case were immediately available. CNN first reported the pending charges.

In December, two federal law enforcement sources confirmed that federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York had opened an investigation into Santos and were examining his finances, including potential irregularities involving financial disclosures and loans he made to his congressional campaign.

Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Santos announced his re-election campaign just last month, despite investigations into a variety of allegations against him in New York state, as well as by the House Ethics Committee.

The House panel announced in early March it had opened a probe into Santos to determine whether he may have "engaged in unlawful activity" while campaigning for Congress or if he "failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House."

The panel also said it would examine whether Santos violated federal conflict-of-interest laws in connection with his role in a firm providing fiduciary services, as well as sexual misconduct allegations against him from a prospective aide.

A Navy veteran who accused Santos of disappearing with thousands of dollars from an online fundraising campaign intended to cover lifesaving surgery for his service dog also said that he spoke to the FBI about his allegations.

The Nassau County district attorney's office said in December that it, too, was looking into “numerous fabrications and inconsistencies” about Santos’ background after The New York Times uncovered a series of inconsistencies about his biography, including his education, work history and financial dealings. The New York State Attorney General’s Office said that same month that it was “looking into a number of issues” surrounding Santos.

While Santos has refused to resign from Congress, he said in late January that he would recuse himself from a pair of assignments on the Small Business and Science committees amid the probes.

if it has "orders" that vague, would showing obvious enough dismay that Jean doesn't accept his agreement to them be "refusing"? In a situation where he is aware that having those tells caused him to get out of the order

I envision that as part of the ramping-up: the magic, as it grows out of control, starts actively reacting to anything Kaeya does to evade Jean's orders. Enforcing less and less explicit orders over time comes hand-in-hand with shutting down each new way Kaeya finds to work around them.

In fact, the cause-and-effect might even be the other way around! I'm tempted towards the notion that aside from the issue of a Vision's power being way more than the spell needs (and the Pyro-on-Cryo complications), the fact that a Vision responds to the intentions of their bearer is also playing into this. At the time Diluc does this magic he is still reeling from the revelation that Kaeya was deceiving him for all those years, and afraid on some level that he's going to somehow be able to wriggle out of this safeguard by fooling Jean as well. He does not want Kaeya to find any loopholes! And if I go with that, then the spell, turned by the Vision into an active rather than passive restraint, closes said loopholes as soon as Kaeya finds them--each strategy, including that one, has only a limited window before the magic starts triggering on it. And if that's what's happening, then forcing indirect or non-orders is just part of that overgrowth, because 'she didn't make it a direct order' is just another loophole, as far as that nasty mess of Abyssal magic and Vision power and Diluc's mistrust is concerned.

Even if that's not the specific mechanism I go with for why, I do know the magic is shutting down even that kind of passive resistance. The incident that makes Kaeya decide he has to tamper with it involves him being completely unable to give Jean mission-relevant information because it would have changed her strategy and the magic takes that as 'arguing' even though she would want to know. People get hurt because of it (including him)! No one gets killed this time, but... it's worth the risk to him not to put Jean in the position of being unwittingly responsible for someone's death. Because Diluc's coming home someday, and there's "so uh we might have anchored this on you without your knowledge or consent," and then there's "so uh someone died because we anchored this on you without your knowledge or consent," and there's both a moral event horizon here and, on the personal level, only so much forgiveness they can beg.

#fic nattering #asked and answered #honestly both of them regret the 'without her knowledge and consent' thing within the first like. couple weeks. a month max #but diluc assumes kaeya told her and if she's not sending him nastygrams he's not inclined to bring it up and invite them #while kaeya was relieved that he didn't have to tell her up until the point she told him not to break into eroch's office #and he went 'well i'll do it anyway she doesn't have to know' and then realized he physically could not #the moral/emotional regret came later for him because for a while he WAS just. so glad. #to have the choice of whether to betray khaenri'ah or mondstadt taken so entirely out of his hands #he is willing to accept that they've done something to jean that she'll be upset and angry about until the noose starts tightening #and suddenly he's running into the issues outlined above #and now it's SO different from straightforwardly obeying a regular order in the field of the sort that he should be obeying anyway! #(she would have hated even the original plan but kaeya is honestly okay with violating her personal sense of ethics that far #in the same way he was okay with lying to diluc for so long. which is to say he isn't but he's never felt like he has a choice)

I like when people call me anti voting because this is the first time in years that I've actually been able to vote and I did (even signed up for absentee voting and everything) and it just really drove home how Democrats only really exist to maintain the status quo and nothing else.
