It's his hand. You can find other angles of it in the same article. It seems to me that the ms-13 edited onto his digits is meant to be a translation of the symbology of his tattoos:

Marijuana leaf = M

Smiley face = S

Cross = 1

Skull = 3

Is that an accurate representation of what his tattoos mean? I have no idea, I'm not an expert on gang symbology. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The presence of a gang tattoo is something that could be submitted as evidence in court - which is a right the accused was never afforded.

What I am sure of, is that trump intentionally presented this information in such a vague manner so as to muddy the waters so he can come back later and claim his claims were misrepresented by the "lying, dishonest media" - which is itself dishonest.

It's an inkblot test. His detractors will take the claim at face value, and his supporters will dig in and claim we're stupid for not immediately taking his claims as gospel. He doesn't care if his claims hold up in court. He only cares about the court of public opinion, and right now, he's defining that conversation.

Did you make this account just so you could spam this image over and over?

Did writing that make you feel better?

By giving kids measles? You've lost your mind.

America bad. Always. 😡

I'd say I'm probably more optimistic than most, but I don't know if I'd apply that to the whole population. It's a disorder that affects your ability to perform in the ways society expects you to, and for a lot of people, that sense of failed duty is a weight that they bear every day.

For me tho, I've never really given a fuck what society expects out of me. I live for myself first. If my boss or teachers or parents are pissed because I'm not measuring up to some metric, that's their problem. I'm in a career now where I don't need to worry about finding a new job. They're plentiful. So I just focus on what makes me happy and put in just enough effort to keep my head above water and save a bit for down the line. Work and education have always just been a means to that end. I'd say I'm definitely an outlier in that regard.

I've got bad knees, so running (and a lot of other sports) is out, but I live to bike. I commute every day of the year, rain sleet or snow. It's my favorite part of the day.

The most important part of staying active for me, was finding something that I actually enjoy. If I can trick my ADHD into thinking it's playtime, and not some drudgery that needs to be completed, it becomes a game, and suddenly I can focus for 10 hours straight.

I'm not anorexic. Im a healthy 225. I love eating. I just sometimes forget that it's something I need to do everyday. 😅

I like my smartwatch. I'm extremely ADHD as well as hypoglycemic. I have a lifelong history of not eating, then working/playing/exercising until i get woozy or pass out. I'm a terrible judge of what I actually need to stay functional. Always have been. I'm stubborn and will just try to power through things when I actually can't.

The watch helps me track my sleep/rem cycles and lets me know when I've been neglecting my health. It lets me know when I'm getting stressed and need to take it easy, and it estimates how many calories I've expended on a given day.

The watch and pager functions are nice for reducing screen time when I should be working, but as a health monitor I find it indispensable in keeping me honest with myself.

Same, but there's no way in hell this type of psycho gave it all away. He stashed a couple million somewhere for a rainy day. That's how these people work.

Dude was worth between 100-300 million at his peak. I don't buy for a second that he's broke. It's probably all hidden in crypto or cocaine stashed under the floorboards.

Touche.

It doesn't really matter what kind of engine it is if it's going fast enough.

Anything with enough mass and acceleration to move a human being from planet to planet in a reasonable timeframe has the kinetic energy required to wipe out a city. Once you start reaching relativistic speeds, you can take out entire planets by simply not slowing down on approach.

Akshually, there's only one Sol-ar system.

The fact is that any manned vehicle capable of interplanetary travel is by the nature of the energies involved, also a weapon of mass destruction. A spaceship is a weapon in the same way a car can be a weapon.

So either you massively restrict access to this technology, or you create a system of surveillance and defense that is so pervasive and effective that it makes 1984 look benign, OR you just say fuck everyone else and use that weapon to remove yourself from range of everybody else's weapons.

Proliferation is an existential problem for anyone in range.

Boo this man!

If you replaced all muscle and fat in a 6'3 body with marshmallow fluff, you might end up looking a bit like trump at "225".

I'm 6'3 225 and I can assure you, I wasnt nearly that fat even when I was pushing 250. If he's actually 6'3 (he isn't) then brody is pushing 270-300 EASY. You can hide a lot of weight on a 6'3 frame, but not that much.

Congrats to the brave men and women who made that victory possible. A win for labor rights anywhere is a win for workers everywhere.
