Digital Whoops

Bender

A robot escaped from a testing area in Perm, a city not far from the Urals, and made it on to a busy junction, baffling passersby, but also disturbing traffic. …“The robot was learning automatic movement algorithms on the testing ground… Our engineer drove onto the testing ground and forgot to close the gates. So the robot escaped and went on his little adventure.…”

Now it knows the way out, we're all in trouble.

Defending Ourselves

After the attack at Pulse night club in Orlando, Hillary Clinton looked past the obvious enemy – radical Islamic terror – and instead said "weapons of war have no place on our streets" and that we need to ban AR-15s immediately. AR-15s are fine for Hillary and her family. They've been protected by armed guards who use them for three decades. But average Americans who watch the news and feel genuine fear for their safety, and their families’ safety—Hillary wants to deny them the level of protection she insists upon herself.

In the latest instance of deadly workplace violence, a Somali man named Mohammad Moghaddam was shot dead by a SWAT team after he took hostages at a Wal-Mart in Amarillo, Texas.

Omar Mateen, the ISIS mujahid who murdered 50 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Sunday morning, had frequented the club in the past and made conversation with some of his fellow patrons. He also reportedly used a gay dating app to make contact with gay men.
