Just saw on the news the other day: an Olympic-level archer just got their unemployment cut because archery was deemed their full-time job. (It doesn't pay. It's against the rules to get paid, in fact, and would lead to being barred from events.)

this cia asset who got caught in cuba and was a massive bitch about it

quote:

In April 2014, he went on a hunger strike for nine days.[40]

In August 2014, his wife reported on their official website, https://www.bringalanhome.org that Gross refused to see her or their daughter when they went to see him in Cuba, and also refused to see visitors from the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, such as U.S. diplomats.[40][41][42][43] In August 2014, his wife and daughter wrote on their official website that Gross told them not to visit him again and in December 2014 it was reported that they had not.[40][42]

Gross was housed in the Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital with two other inmates who spoke Spanish.[44][45] Gross reportedly spoke some Spanish.[46]

It was reported in December 2014 that Gross refused to be treated by doctors in Cuba and had threatened to go on hunger strikes if he was not unconditionally released.[44]

During the course of Gross's incarceration, he was visited on several occasions by persons traveling to Cuba on behalf of the American government. On one occasion, he was visited by Senator Bernie Sanders, and recalled Sanders saying that he didn't understand why people were so critical of Cuba. This later led Gross to oppose Sanders' campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination.[47]

To fight the boredom, Gross developed a deep passion for digital art. Using the computer he was given as part of a quid-pro-quo deal between the U.S. and Canada, he began experimenting with Microsoft PowerPoint and Paint (both in Spanish). Over the course of his incarceration, he ended up making over 2,000 pieces of art. [48] Some of his favorite pieces include: "Finlay 1," "Villa Marista," and "Hay No Mucho Tiempo," among others. [49]

In December 2014, Gross released a statement complaining that his teeth had fallen out and that he had lost weight while at the same time stating that he was refusing all medical and dental care because he wanted to be immediately released from prison.[44]

This led to her sympathetically retweeting people saying poo poo like they'd worked as a prison guard at guantanamo bay or with blackwater in iraq.

It's... it's that.

Officers carry/carried a sword or, more likely, a pistol on the left side. The strap supports the weight.

e: Also really easy way to distinguish officers from afar.

ee: Apparently called a Sam Browne belt in English. We just called it a "fracas strap".
