Corgis are literally the only small dog worth having.

Winston The White Corgi might be a little short for a Stormtrooper, but he definitely makes it up by being the cutest one in this galaxy!

SO BEAUTIFUL: A Music-Only Version of The New “The Force Awakens” Trailer [Video]

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

Keep up the hype.

Earlier today, Disney released a music-only version of the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” trailer, and Youtuber Tim Gonzales revised the footage to remove the drops in music during the segments where there was dialogue. The end result if absolutely beautiful and you should all watch it right now! :)

Cats Fight Terror Online With Weapons-Grade Meme #BrusselsLockdown

by JLister
Tom Wright

That is pretty cool. Drowning out potentially harmful social media with nonsense.

(Image capture by BBC News.)

(Image capture by BBC News.)

Belgian cats have done their part to fight terrorism thanks to an unusual hijacking of  Twitter hashtags.

The meme began over the weekend when police began a series of raids to pick up people suspected of planning attacks. The severity of the situation meant movements in many public areas were blocked off.

That inevitably led to Twitter discussion of the scenes on the street with the most popular hashtags including #Bruxelles (Brussels) and the English #BrusselsLockdown.

The Belgian police worried that people tweeting about sightings of officers preparing for a raid could tip off the suspects and posted a message that, translated, read “For safety, please observe radio silence on social media about ongoing police operations #Bruxelles . Thank you.”

With some people either not seeing the message or taking no heed, it was left to other Twitter users to do their part. They decided to bury any unintentional tipoffs by flooding Twitter with messages using the hashtags but including pictures of cats rather than reports of street activities. It turned into something of a contest to find the cat pic which most poked fun at would-be terrorists.


Asked not to tweet details of anti-terrorism raids, Belgians tweet things like this instead: #BrusselsLockdown pic.twitter.com/wY1ft3KLUj

— max seddon (@maxseddon) November 22, 2015

Eventually the lockdown ended with 16 arrests. Police acknowledged Twitter’s response by posting the above image, with a caption that translates as “To all the cats who helped us last night: help yourselves! #BrusselsLockdown”


This, dear outsiders, is how we fight terrorism here. They haven't got a chance! We haz kittens! #BrusselsLockdown pic.twitter.com/sdq1MbrKsz

The Rock on Halloween: Never Buy a Costume That Says “One Size Fits Most”

Everything is better with The Rock in it.

It still might be a while before I see that earthquake movie, though.

I love Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! This guy looks like one of the nicest human beings on the surface of this planet. He’s funny, good looking, and just an all around super decent awesome guy that works super hard to make the lives of children better.

Really, you just can’t hate him. It’s impossible.

Kid Makes Powerpoint Presentation on Why He Should Be Allowed To Buy GTA V

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

This kid is hilarious. Good job. Some typos that need touching up, though.

I'd 100% say no to this kid.

gta1

As I’m sure you are all aware, GTA V is rated M, and there’s a good reason for that. This is one of the games that lets you do almost anything that passes through your mind, from beating a hooker with a baseball bat, to killing pretty much anyone you want, including cops.

But as kids become pre-teens, this kind of games somehow starts “calling” to them. My oldest son asked me to buy GTA V this week, and even though plenty of his friends are allowed to play, I said no.

However, some kids are more creative and persuasive than others, as demonstrated by Jestersheister‘s son, who is currently 13. This is a Powerpoint presentation he created to convince his parents to buy the game for him.

Well Done, Target

by Sean Fallon
Tom Wright

Inclusivity is important.

targetelsaad-nxxHdw

You may be aware of Target’s recent decision to do away with gender distinctions in their toy section, but it appears that their move towards inclusivity isn’t stopping there.

Jen Spickenagel Kroll noticed this picture of a girl wearing an Elsa costume with crutches in Target’s recent Halloween flyer and had this to say:

I love you. Thank you for including a child with braces and arm crutches into your advertising campaign! And as Elsa, no less! My daughter (with arm crutches and prosthetic legs) is going to FLIP when she sees this! Including children with special needs into advertising makes them less of a spectacle to the general public when they venture out into the real world. Normalizing disabilities in children is PRICELESS.

This isn’t the first time Target has included a child with a disability in an ad. They’ve also worked to revamp their plus-sized clothing line in recent years. So, this is another step in the right direction. Hopefully, other retailers will follow suit.
