Nothing that exciting; I’m in the Army. It’s called the “Combat Water Survival Test.”

I’m in the Army. We do the Combat Water Survival Test every year. It’s a good laugh if you want to see 200+ blindfolded people walk off a diving board holding a rifle.

I tried. I can’t come up with what kind of a workplace it is that requires one person to get in a pool in some event that is scheduled months out. Like a camp for kids with special needs? A How to Prevent Hazing section for a sorority? MY GUESSES ARE HORRIBLE I DONT KNOW.

I work for the EPA, and its chaos.

Grant and hiring freezes do happen, communications blackouts are weird.

I’m incredibly interested to know if this is true. Similar to how everything was wiped from the White House website and stories went wild about no more mentions of climate change.

I’m really hoping this is what’s happening.

Wait, wait, wait- so this is neither a pic from the 20th or 21st of this year, but basically a stock photo of the 2013 Obama inaugeration stolen from a closed business??? I don’t understand how people can be this incompetent.

“It was absolutely fantastic. Murder gives me a high unlike any other, it feels like this crisp unreality. Flashing & sparkling. Adrenaline & shock. Fight or flight mode. How do I even go about describing it. The whole thing was unreal.”

Ahhh, but the feeling you get when you realize you didn’t raise a psychopath is truly amazing!

I loved Chidi’s back story - especially when he managed to filibuster recess!

So whose job is that? Hers or yours? That is her point.

The Viacom-owned cable network has tapped Melanie Field, Brendan Scannell and Jasmine Mathews to take on the roles of the three Heathers from the 1988 cult hit, The Hollywood Reporterhas learned.

Melanie Field, Brendan Scannell and Jasmine Mathews, according to the THR article. Kind of a big thing to leave out of this, but then again proofreading has never been a priority of Gawker Media.

I share your confusion.

...did I miss something? Who are Mathews, Scannell, and Field?

Yes, NatGeo did that update story in ‘02. It was really remarkable the photographer found her again, and remarkable how just that one photo served to bring awareness of Afghanistan to so many people.

When I was little I found her picture terrifying. Haunting. I was scared of that picture, scared of her face. (which in my family, was kind of problematic. NatGeo all over the place)

I vividly remember looking at this cover as a child, being mesmerized by the striking green eyes of the girl. I read about her a few years ago, when the photographer searched for her, to see if she had survived the brutal refugee camp. And he found that she had, and she had returned home, and was married with three…

it’s just a picture of legs that cuts to an image of a man standing in a burning house and he has a goat head and his eyes are the black of the void and then it cuts back to an image of legs with paint on them and then it’s the goat headed man and he’s closer to the foreground and I can smell sulfur and then it cuts…

Yeah, the brain can play tricks on you for sure. It does look oily at first, but if you look hard at all the white streaks on the legs you’ll see that it is just paint after a few seconds.
