^That's what happens when the Grand Master of Sakkar starts selling apartments. 

"Oh yeah, no, that whole thing is a skyline... but not a real skyline, more like a freaky skyline. No, nothing makes sense here, man. The only thing that does make sense is that nothing makes sense."

Seems pretty basic to me. Not the first ad I’ve seen with different skylines mashed together to promote some national program.

Hey, at least they're honest about it. The skyline flickers and changes and the arch literally appears on an already extant skyline mid sentence. Not a bad ad, really.

I told him it was basically fancy rich people being rich and fancy and that historically they have no love of labor unions but they're not the clan. Just privileged rich people of the sort who put their names on buildings to show how good they are. (Not that I wouldn't if I could, mind you. And I've gladly accepted fancy rich people money and put their names on things. So . . . Mr. Kettle, allow me to introduce myself. Call me Pot.)
I see that the K in Isis-K stands for Khorasan. Sounded familiar. Then I realized that the Veiled Prophet is the Veiled Prophet of Khorassan. So we are harboring Veiled Prophet K. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_Prophet_Ball

^There's also the Khorassan Room at the Chase. Which might well be why they call it that, I suppose.

It is a reference to a Thomas Moore character. But Khorosan is an archaic name for a large chunk of Iran and possibly some areas of neighboring Afghanistan. However, I think there is serious reason to doubt ISIS-K even really exists as more than a convenient front for certain parties.

Nikki Glaser Feels Empowered By 'FBoy Island' — And Happy In St. Louis

“It's so nice to see him fall in love with [St. Louis],” she said of her roommate and podcast co-host, a Florida native. “He's worried that I'm going to get a job in L.A., or a boyfriend ... and have to leave him here, and I'm like, ‘No, I'm not going anywhere.’”

Grandpa Governor is getting dragged pretty good by the National press for threatening to sue the Post-Dispatch over a state website security flaw the paper uncovered. The PD even told the State about it so they could protect the data before they publicly reported it.

^LOL the information was in the HTML of the page!!!  Viewing the info is as simple as viewing the page's source.

Yeah, that takes a serious "hacker" to obtain that information /s

^I'm trying to figure out why you'd even have your data in the HTML. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but it sounds like you'd have to update the page every time you changed a data point. It doesn't sound simply insecure as all heck, but . . . cumbersome and awkward.

One would think Parson’s staff would tell him the truth so he would not embarrass himself. I’m not impressed with his staff. Did he surround himself with yes-persons?

^^It was probably done as some sort of upload or transformation of a different file format. Wouldn't be cumbersome to just rerun that process. I doubt they would be editing the HTML directly.

I'm guessing they pulled data from an HR database or some such and thought they were hiding data that shouldn't be displayed from view.
