Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I saw this story detailing the efforts of people trying to save the fallen soldier at the war memorial, and it was very powerful, not only for the obvious reasons, that these people ran into danger to try to help. But it also drove home the point that everybody who was trying to help him …

Ok, now I’ve done it, talking what looks like nonsense about Ook Ook under this post. Now I have to go put up the song. I was hoping to read some story about someone doing something stupid with fire and then use the song as a soundtrack, but that opportunity hasn’t presented itself. So this’ll …
Well, Steve and I set off yesterday to vote in the municipal election, and I’d say this one was one of the easiest experiences yet. We decided to go to City Hall, mostly because I pretty much knew where that was. A couple of questions to people randomly standing around, and in we went. We …

I’m glad Daniela Poggiali wasn’t on staff at the hospital where I was. I’m sure there were times when I would have annoyed even the most tolerant of nurses. Here are some creepy lines from the story.

Nothing like a little depressing reading to get me started blogging. So I was looking at Twitter, loo dee dum dee doo dee hum dee…what’s this? SEVEN THINGS YOU LEARN SURVIVING AN ATOMIC BLAST… Whaaat? And I have read some depressing cracked articles. this one, or this one, or this one, even this one, but …
This was circulating wildly around Twitter between blind folks. Although I’ve never been accused of faking my blindness, I know that can be a thing. I don’t think Braille is totally awful, but I’m glad they brought up the point that it’s uber bulky and just because you’ve gone blind doesn’t mean you magically know …

This made me laugh really hard. I guess, on some of India’s news channels, they have casual staff serving as news anchors. The other day, Xi Jimping, China’s president, finished up a big visit to India. But, as one unfortunate casual news anchor found out, the president’s name is not the Roman numeral 11. What …
