Of all the insane ads you encounter on the DC metro, like for missiles and death rays and nonsense, the ICE recruitment ads that have started popping up everywhere are straight up Paul Verhoeven Starship Troopers bullshit.

Spent all this week going through a CMMC audit and I feel like I'm trying to get a dog accepted to college.

Feels weird to point out that the Insane Clown Posse's DC March of the Juggalos in 2017 was because of this issue. Law enforcement considered ICP tattoos and even albums in home as evidence of gang membership and used it to violate probation and in custody hearings.
some of us were warning about this 10 years ago when NIST released a tattoo database called Tatt-C, which they built by taking pictures from non-consenting incarcerated people

About 20 years ago I had to scope out this 4 month, 15 country tour for USAID to pen test bases all over Africa and the Middle East. I worried about who I was going to assign until word of the project leaked and two people on my team burst in to begged to be assigned and I was so relieved.

My parents had a cartoon hanging in our kitchen of a guy with his head up his ass and a caption reading "Your problem is quite obvious." Every time they went on vacation I immediately took it down because I hated looking at it and every time they came home they'd find it and put it back up.
Less than a week before leaving the White House, President Joe Biden is lifting the state sponsor of terrorism designation for Cuba, nearly four years to the day from when then-President Donald Trump, in one of his own last acts in office, put Havana back on the list.

I've made very little (but not zero!) progress on extracting myself from my toxic work environment. As local rat Colin Sullivan said "If we're not gonna make it, it's gotta be you that gets out, cause I'm not capable. I'm fucking Irish, I'll deal with something being wrong for the rest of my life."
