This is such a great post! Deaf and hard of hearing people are members of our community, so let’s show them some love. You can learn ASL online using the resources in this post: http://mashable.com/2014/04/21/how-to-sign/#SdHJ06gZ1Zqy
My cats understand and will obey a number of verbal commands, one of which is “go away”. I don’t use it often, but if they’re bugging me and I’m trying to work or doing something that could be dangerous for cats, I can tell them to go away, and off they go - they’ll only keep pestering me if there’s a serious problem they need me to look at.
That said, their idea of a serious problem that requires my attention is somewhat eccentric. Previous instances have included:
There was an unfamiliar car parked across the street
Their water bowl was four inches to the left of its usual position
One of them had puked on the stairs and they didn’t want to walk past it
when you break a world record, but a man comes in second (x)
And it’s worth note that Ledecky didn’t just win the 800 freestyle- she obliterated it:
Thats her. And those specks in the distance are her competitors. The second place swimmer was 11 SECONDS behind her. 11 seconds is FOREVER in something like this. Most second place swimmers in most races finish fractions of a second behind the first place swimmer.
Her finishing with none of her competitors in sight. And that yellow line is the previous world record’s pace. Ledecky is more than a full body length ahead.
Which, btw, she did in the 400m freestyle earlier in the games. Seen here:
(The previous world record in this race was held by her, to begin with, btw. As well as the 3 world record times preceding that one.)
So to sum it up: Yeah, Phelps is one of the most decorated Olympic swimmers ever etc etc but him getting silver means jack in the face of the actual-human-avatar-of-Poseidon that is Katie Ledecky.
Move over, Matt Lauer, NBC has a new Olympic commentator coming through. Saturday Night Live’s Leslie Jones has officially touched down in Rio to serve as a correspondent during the games after her live-tweeting of the televised events went viral this week, and she’s hit the ground running.
