Overnight Open Thread (30 Apr 2016)

This is rich. ICE Director admits 'sanctuary' policies put agents at risk. Then when she's asked if these 'sanctuary' policies also pose a risk to the public, she dodges the question. Um, if it is riskier for your agents, it's bound to be riskier for the public.


Hacking Companies

Fascinating read. Why you should fear this man.

The Blackwater of surveillance, the Hacking Team is among the world's few dozen private contractors feeding a clandestine, multibillion-dollar industry that arms the world's law enforcement and intelligence agencies with spyware. Comprised of around 40 engineers and salespeople who peddle its goods to more than 40 nations, the Hacking Team epitomizes what Reporters Without Borders, the international anti-censorship group, dubs the "era of digital mercenaries."

Target

Target's stock down 5%, brand damaged, by public rebuke to pro-transgender bathroom rules. Funny thing is, they are hurting their business for so few folkswho up until recently were using bathrooms just fine.

I don't remember hearing about this. The case of the cable car nymphomaniac.

Moist

I didn't know people hated the word moist. I usually associate it with a cake which is good. Researcher thinks he's figured out why so many people hate the word 'moist'.

Those most likely to be disgusted by it? "[T]he prototypical moist-averse person is a young, neurotic, female who is well-educated and somewhat disgusted by bodily function," Thibodeau writes/

Video Games

How games are helping veterans recover from injury.

Cat Video
