Les dances à travers le monde
my favourite thing about this is some are very traditional dances integral to that country/culture; and some are one individuals favourite move
and he approaches all of them with enthusiasm and a surprising amount of skill
Watching this makes me happy
Radio station WJLX can no longer broadcast its AM programming since the incident.
“What do you mean the tower is gone? Are you sure you’re in the right place? I actually used more colorful words than that,” Brett Elmore recounted to NBC News. “He said there’s wires all over the ground and the tower is gone.”
My favorite tags so far:
so this lead me down a fucking hour-long rabbit hole. i watched a video (linked on the radio station's wikipedia page) where some young guys walk through the radio tower property a week after it was allegedly stolen, and it's an overgrown jungle. looks like it's been abandoned for years. the door is hanging open and there is lichen growing on the linoleum floor inside. down in the comments there are locals saying the area is not exactly out in the boonies, either; there are people and businesses on that road. not to mention that a 200 foot radio tower is fucking gigantic. there is no crushed vegetation from dismantling the tower. no sign of any vehicles recently on the property other than the 1 set of tire tracks from the police vehicle which came to check it out when the report was received.
the tower wasn't stolen. it hadn't been there for years before the report was filed. google earth shows the tower up on site in 2022 and gone in 2023 so in all likelihood, it fell down sometime then. ALLEGEDLY, the fcc had been on them for an inspection of their am radio tower, and then a week before the fcc were scheduled to come out and inspect it, the station reported the tower missing. so. that's an hour of my life gone. you're welcome? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then how… I believe you, but how…
how had they been broadcasting
had they been?
It's easy. They WEREN'T.
Hi, so admittedly I own one of the other radio stations in the same freaking town. And by own I mean it's in my name but I leave the technical stuff to my dad and pretty much absorb my information from being around him and the station all the time.
ANYWAYS!
The guy who runs WJLX isn't actually licensed to run an LPFM he is licensed to run an AM station. The AM station is supposed to be the one he plays his music on and he can run a translator to broadcast onto the FM frequencies as well. BUT! Only if his AM is still the main station. He can't do FM only.
That means two power bills basically. Those can be pretty hefty for a radio station.
And since no one really cares about AM these days he did the worst thing possible. He LET HIS AM STATION GO OFF THE AIR. His AM station has been off the air since as far back 2013. We have video of us testing his frequencies that far back. He's been running full time as an LPFM only for at least a decade now which in his case is illegal AF and is a $10,000 per day fine from the FCC if he's ever caught.
Well, low and behold he was caught and now he's trying to claim he didn't know because his tower was "obviously stolen".
For starters, it was eventually stolen. But only after it had already collapsed to the ground and rusted for several years. Metal scrappers will take nearly anything that looks to have been abandoned long enough.
TLDR; If he'd been running his station properly then he'd have known the exact moment his tower stopped broadcasting. He'd have known the moment it fell. There are these things called silence detectors (at least that's what we call them) and their whole job is to tell us we're not broadcasting anymore.
Me, a Leverage and mystery enjoyer: Ah yes, the old "it was stolen" claim in order to cover up doing something heinously illegal. I know it well. Anyway I would say I hope the FCC sues him into the ground but I don't want them getting any money with the way they've been behaving lately.
Then you'll love the next part!
WARNING: I am occasionally using sarcasm down below.
He still managed to con the local community into donating some $20,000+ dollars for a replacement on his GoFundMe. A replacement he never got but wowee he sure did get a brand new custom painted SUV for the station! I'm sure that's totally unrelated to the sudden influx of money.
Oh and by the way everyone he still desperately needs more donations please! He's totally got all the site cleaned up and the towers pieces on stand by to be assembled. He just needs more money to pay someone to actually do the assembly now!
......Oh wait the FCC is going to still send someone to investigate later? Oh no and look someone has gone and posted more recent drone footage of the build site. Drone footage showing the site is still untouched months later and there's no work being done at all!
Now the town is mad at him! What happened to their money if it didn't get him a new tower?
And then he proceeded to have a literal heart attack and die in the Pie Factory in town and now NO ONE will talk about the fact he successfully scammed them all.
Because it's disrespectful to talk bad about the dead. *Facepalm*
Literally no one will talk about this and they're all praising him for being a good ole local boy who ran a radio station until someone sabotaged it. The restaurant he died at is literally reserving his favorite spot at the bar for him. They actually refuse to let anyone sit there and have a plaque thing with his name on it and a picture of him on the counter with a lovely little bio talking about him and saying only good things.
He's done a ton of terrible things to this community behind everyone's backs from blackmail to extortion and obviously outright scamming. But no one will talk about that now. The ones who know what he did are scared his buddies might come after him and the rest of the town doesn't want to hear anyone speak ill of the dead. And besides, "What does it matter? He's dead now so why keep digging everything up?"
Because he actively ruined lives and businesses of people he didn't like. He had buddies in law enforcement lock people up. There are some people who are still in jail because of him! One of the engineers who worked with and is friends with my dad had to visit another station that shared the office building with Brett Elmore. He came back with a welt on his face saying the man PUT A CIGAR OUT ON HIS FACE for daring to show up at the office while being friends with my dad. And then the sheriff's department swarmed OUR building and tried to arrest everyone there for "threatening to assault" Elmore.
The literal only reason no one was arrested was because of the clear cigar burn on the other guy's face and the fact that we shared our building with a LAWYER who heard everything before the cops got there.
Instead WE received a warning. Stay away from Brett's station or be arrested.
PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.
For my fellow Europeans south of us who are currently suffering from extreme heat. Stay safe!
I’d also like to add this
Additional you can also put them on your palms, also, make sure to always use a light towel or kitchen paper and don’t put the ice bags directly onto your skin!
i know i reblogged that last post. but i'm going to be honest and speak my truth.
i hate all "robby is secretly carter" shit. just as much as i hate "jack is secretly pope" shit because it never makes sense and i can't suspend disbelief enough to enjoy it.
**not to mention i feel like it erases fundamental aspects of each character that i'm not a fan of doing.
