    Russia Attacks US Power Grid Via Vermont Utility

    “Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont, U.S. officials say.” That's what they said, anyway. Turns out it was made up. The headline, the story, all of it. Made up. The reality is a laptop belonging to the Vermont utility company, a laptop that wasn't...

    It's a Wonderful Life Parody

    Phones Flagship Smartphones

    Back when it first came out, about 2.5 years ago, I got a new HTC One M8. As with most of the new flagship phones the battery isn't user replaceable. That was my first concern. People would say, "It's not a big deal. By the time the battery dies you'll be wanting to upgrade to a new phone...

    North Carolina GOP HQ Firebombed

    Original article at the Charlotte Observer Virtually the same article at the Daily Mail, but with better picture layout. No suspects, yet, but I'm guessing that they aren't hard core Republicans. Especially since they scrawled "NAZI REPUBLICANS LEAVE TOWN OR ELSE" on the building next door...

Someone apparently dumped hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine into the diving pool, which reacted badly with the chlorine, and caused an algae bloom. It got darker and darker every day, and now it's just an oblique...

    Black Olives Matter

    "I think it shows an interesting state of affairs of where our country is that people, first of all, can be offended by a statement about a vegetable. Black olives matter, and it does matter in our tapenade." Social media had a collective meltdown. Dood is just trying to advertise his latest...
