When we arrived, the parking spot closest to the wheelchair crosswalk looked like this.
Me, a disabled person, had to walk these carts to the receptacle so we could park properly.
But the fun didn’t stop there!
Let’s take a look at the wheelchair crosswalk.
This is the ONLY place you can access the dialysis establishment with a wheelchair. This person decided to leave their car parked there for 15 minutes while they got their Chinese food.
I had to slowly back my dad’s wheelchair down the curb in order to get him back to the car. I would prefer to not employ less-than-safe wheelchair maneuvers with my disabled elderly father.
So I ask anyone who doesn’t fear a little confrontation, if you see people doing these kinds of things, please say something.
And if you know someone who does these kinds of things, maybe send them this post and show them the unseen consequences of their actions.
So, this channel The Game Brass only has 5,000 subscribers and I feel like they deserve a lot more than that. They do full brass covers of video game music with up to 16 parts. It’s crazy.
While the video production is a bit shaky, the audio recordings are fantastic.
It sounds like frickin’ John Williams scored Zelda.
I know from experience it is hard to convince people on Tumblr to watch videos, but I really think these folks could use a few more subscribers.
So if you like classic video game music, perhaps you could help me spread the word and do these folks a solid.
If you weren’t aware of the story, my state governor, Mike Parson, accused a reporter and a security analyst of criminal “hacking” for exposing a security flaw on a public government website. They were able to find several social security numbers of teachers by viewing the HTML of the web page.
Basically, Gov. Parson accused them of hacking for hitting F12 in Chrome.
This was laughed at almost immediately on Twitter.
Then Parson doubled down.
And people laughed at him again.
Pretty much the entire information security community invalidated these “hacking” claims.
InfoSec educator Shannon Morse had this to say.
And because of the overwhelming evidence that this was NOT criminal hacking, Governor Parson retracted his statement and humbly apologized for his mistake.
HAH!
Of course he didn’t do that.
HE’S A REPUBLICAN!
He tripled down.
And it’s a masterpiece of dying on a hill. I have never seen anything quite like this.
Parson had his PAC called “United Missouri” produce this video calling out the “Fake News” and showing scary computery images that I guess represent hacking. And for some reason, they show a TV inside a hotel room during most of the video. I guess they couldn’t afford a stock image of a computer monitor after paying for the Matrix-y graphics.
The video has an impressive like/dislike ratio on YouTube.
“Okay, our video isn’t doing great. Everyone in the office hit the like button. All 8 of you!”
And the twitter version has a fun ratio as well.
I guess someone was out to lunch when the office liked this post.
The replies are fun…
After this video went live, Professor Shaji Khan, who verified the security flaw for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, demanded the Governor apologize and cover the legal costs that may incur if this sham investigation continues.
It’s okay, Belle. I cannot see you. Good job hiding.
One of my ongoing corgi jokes is that they are *almost* good at hide and seek.
They are just too long and have no sense of where their patoot is in three dimensional space. So you will often find them half under the bed or around a corner with their rear on display. And they are always so shocked when you “find” them.
Did you know that Bruce Willis is “semi-retired.”?
Despite being prominently featured on these movie posters, he is *barely* in these movies.
He’s basically done with the grueling nature of big Hollywood films where he has to put a bunch of effort and several months of his life into it.
HOWEVER… for $1 million per day, he will show up on the set of any film (and I do mean ANY film) and do some half-assed acting for you. He will let you use his name and likeness in the marketing. You can even make it seem like he is the lead character even if he is only in the movie for 10 minutes total. (They intersperse his screentime throughout the entire film so it feels like more.)
Some might say he is selling out.
But I would do a bunch of shitty movies for a million a day. He can do 5 days of work and then fuck off on a beach somewhere for the rest of the year.
I am just curious why some inventive filmmaker has not taken full advantage of this and created a scenario where they can get a true starring role performance out of Bruce in a day or two.
Basically do a bunch of planning ahead of time where all the sets are right next to each other so you can go from scene to scene rapid fire. Get their money’s worth and have Bruce do an hour of screen time instead of 10 minutes.
Maybe a movie where he’s a submarine captain and they’re all trapped at the bottom of the ocean being hunted by a prehistoric alien shark. And in the finale he shoots himself out of the torpedo tube with a bunch of explosives attached to his body. The shark starts to eat him and he’s all like “Yippee-ki-yay, mother *BOOM*”
Only when he says it, it is all bubbly cuz he’s at the bottom of the sea and stuff.
