Bugs Bunny’s racist adventure
So many friends of mine are Disney fanatics, but I’ve always been partial to Warner Brothers cartoons. Most of the classic Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote and Daffy Duck cartoons still make me bust a gut. When I watch the 70-year-old “Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips,” however, it just makes my...

Video: Prosecutor on grand jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson
by Lauren Williams
In a lengthy statement Monday night, St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that a grand jury had chosen not to indict Darren Wilson for the August 9 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
He suggested that social media and the press had caused some confusion around the facts of the case, asserting that the grand jury "are the only people — the only people — who have heard and examined every witness and every piece of evidence." The jurors deliberated for two days before deciding there was no probable cause to indict Darren Wilson, he said.
To better understand how the grand jury came to this conclusion, read this explanation from Vox's Dara Lind and Jenée Desmond-Harris.

FX Is Making a Television Show Out of Alan Moore's From Hell
by Katharine Trendacosta
MattalystOh god, this'll be ugly. The story the way it's written is so uncommercial that FX should just consider it unfilmable.
And the comics-domination of TV keeps on coming: FX is developing a drama series based on Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's graphic novel. Hey, remember when Johnny Depp starred in a film based on the same thing?

Highly advanced backdoor trojan cased high-profile targets for years
by Dan Goodin
Researchers have unearthed highly advanced malware they believe was developed by a wealthy nation-state to spy on a wide range of international targets in diverse industries, including hospitality, energy, airline, and research.
Backdoor Regin, as researchers at security firm Symantec are referring to the trojan, bears some resemblance to previously discovered state-sponsored malware, including the espionage trojans known as Flame and Duqu, as well as Stuxnet, the computer worm and trojan that was programmed to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. Regin likely required months or years to be completed and contains dozens of individual modules that allowed its operators to tailor the malware to individual targets.
To remain stealthy, the malware is organized into five stages, each of which is encrypted except for the first one. Executing the first stage triggers a domino chain in which the second stage is decrypted and executed, and that in turn decrypts the third stage, and so on. Analyzing and understanding the malware requires researchers to acquire all five stages. Regin contains dozens of payloads, including code for capturing screenshots, seizing control of an infected computer's mouse, stealing passwords, monitoring network traffic, and recovering deleted files. Other modules appear to be tailored to specific targets. One such payload included code for monitoring the traffic of a Microsoft IIS server. Another sniffed the traffic of mobile telephone base station controllers.

You might be surprised to learn that Xenomorphs are very conscientious pet owners. Just because they’re deadly predators themselves doesn’t mean they don’t want to keep their beloved animal friends safe from harm at all times. That’s why they walk their dogs using Facehuggers as a harness and leash. And now you can do the same for your canine friends.
This awesomely geeky Alien Facehugger Dog Leash was designed and created by Orlando, FL-based FX shop Gotham City FX. It’s design to fit small to medium-sized dogs ranging from 15 to 35 pounds.
This leash connects with velcro around the neck and chest of the dog securing the Face Hugger to your pets back. The alien is made of foam and airbrush painted, the harness is a light weight but durable mesh. The leash is hidden within the tail of the alien and ends with a loops for easy walking.
Visit the Gotham City FX Storenvy shop to check out more of their fantastic creations.

The number of deaths associated with terrorism is on the rise — and America's war on terror may actually be to blame.
According to a new report from the Institute for Economics and Peace's Vision of Humanity project, the number of fatalities linked to terrorism rose by 60% last year, pointing to the role of U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts in the spike of deaths. The number of deaths linked to terrorism increased from fewer than 1,500 in 2000 to nearly 10,000 in 2013, according to the the 2014 Global Terrorism Index.
Not only is the geographic imbalance glaring -- the majority of last year's 18,000 fatalities occurred in Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria -- but it also corresponds with the deployment and expansion of the U.S. military across the region.
