Dylan Storm Roof was sentenced to death after being convicted of charges relating to hate crimes, obstructing religion, and firearm related offenses. Before being sentenced Storm Roof noted that while he could instead beg the jury for a life sentence he didn't see the point of that exercise.

Yet Another Bitcoin Anniversary
On this day in 2009 Satoshi publicly released the first Bitcoin client. It was a windows turd with a Wxwidgets interface. From this client was descended the reference client lovingly maintained by the Bitcoin Foundation, which runs on and may be statically built for any sane *nix operating system.1
Support for windows builds were culled shortly after the Foundation assumed custodianship for the reference client. ↩
Sears Selling Craftsman Brand To Stanley Black & Decker
Sears1 is selling their Craftsman brand to the Stanley Black and Decker company. Craftsman was a brand in the greatest American sense of the word, a single label applied to any number of products made by any number of actual vendors to which the "Craftsman" label was applied. At times Stanley Black & Decker2 was the manufacturer of some "Craftsman" branded products.
Techtronic Industries of Hong Kong will likely lose the business of providing power tools to be sold under the "Craftsman" name as Stanley Black & Decker already has the ability to produce power tools. "Craftsman" outdoor power equipment is likely to continue being manufactured outside the Stanley Black & Decker family, provided Stanley Black & Decker cares to keep that line of business going.
Stanley Black & Decker will be paying Sears Holdings 525 million United States dollars now, 250 million USd at the end of 3 years, and a percentage of sales from "Craftsman" branded products for 15 years.
"Fuck White People": Pack Of Native Chicagoans Torture Captive White Boy
Four native Chicagoans1 have been arrested after they abducted an handicapped white boy and tortured him while holding him in captivity for 48 hours. Video of the white boy's torture was broadcast on "Facebook Live" while the black Chicagoans shouted hate epithets including:
"Fuck White People!'
and
"Fuck Donald Trump!"
The Chicago police department is recommending hate crime, kidnapping, and battery charges in the case. The suspects did not cover their faces while broadcasting their racially motivated torture session.

fiat/Bitcoin Interfaces Continue Reporting Upwards Volatility, March to Magenta Continues
So far 2017 is continuing the recent upwards trend in prices reported by fiat/Bitcoin interfaces passing a number of milestones today:
While fiat/Bitcoin interface insolvency remains a reality and connections to reality on the fiat end generally seem to be loose, much has changed since this price level was reported. Perhaps most notably in the mind of buyers, concerted social engineering efforts to undermine Bitcoin variously named XTCoin, ClassicCoin, Unlimited, and Segregated Witness have all failed, laughably so.3
Still, tomorrow any or all of these fiat emphasized fiat/Bitcoin interfaces could offer nothing for your Bitcoins while demanding you deliver the entire whole and undivided transcendental idea of the color magenta4 to them.
"volume weighted" price, strong lead by China and over 1050 Euros across the board ↩
Similar situation, above 1100 dollars with the exception of BTC-E ↩
As opposed to seriously so. They never made it that far against entrenched resistance because Bitcoin is a hard thing. ↩
In the only way that matters, that impossible way which would deny everyone else both magenta and the idea of magenta. ↩
Iraqi Government Violating Latest OPEC Agreement, Government Blames Kurds
News has emerged that Iraq is in violation of new OPEC production quotas and is actually independently increasing exports rather than decreasing exports in concert with its OPEC brothers. The Iraqi State Organization for Marketing of Oil which is shirking this agreement accuses the autonomous Kurdish region of over exportation. It remains to be seen how the rest of OPEC chooses to handle this precious snowflake.
Venice Refugee Center Patrons Riot And Take Hostages
A refugee service center near Venice, Italy is facing a riot after one of the center's patrons died inside the internment camp. Angry patrons have set fires around the premises and barricaded the gates while social services workers administering the internment camp similarly barricaded themselves in their offices where they have become hostages. Italian security forces eventually quelled the internment camp uprising and allowed the camp administrators egress.
The Story Of 2016: Socialist Butthurt
While the civilized world advanced by leaps and bounds, the story of our recently deceased year 2016 is of socialistard butthurt.
- Brave militia heroes liberated a patch of the high desert in Oregon. Though the rebellion was squashed and Lavoy Finicum murdered, the militia heroes were acquitted by the evil empire's own courts despite said empire's pretenses to the contrary.
- The long string of socially engineered so called Bitcoin forks began to face their own deadlines with failure.
- British voters chose #Brexit and politicians as well as the judiciary were unprepared for this surprise depantsing.
- Ethereum and its alleged applications were irreparably damaged.
- Bitfinex lead the fiat/Bitcoin interfaces into overt socialism as spackle over their insolvency.
- Apparently trees just get in the way of making more Inca. Very soy for your loss.
- The fiat and socialist bloggers lead by the New York Times had to reverse their projections for the United States presidential election as the ballots were being counted.
- The Phuctor revealed the legacy of shitgnomes persists with thousands of internet enabled boxes still compromised by Debian's broken promise of randomness. This broken promise was allegedly "patched" a decade ago.
- Elected officials and their families being robbed as they sit in their cars approached meme-like frequency in December.
- Institutions of "Our Democracy" embarrassed themselves in an all out effort to thwart the constitutional installation of Trumpreich.
- United States sovereignty becomes impossible.
- Outgoing leader of a crumbling empire attempts picking fights with Nation-States in order to boost partisan morale.
- The pretense that fiat can be compared with sound money by fiat/Bitcoin interfaces began to fail hard.

Hussein Bahamas Continues Picking Fights As Term Dwindles
Lame duck United States President Hussein Bahamas has continued his new hobby of abruptly changing US policy as his term approaches its constitutional end. In addition to the mundane changes like telling Bibi off, opening the dollar printing press to agriculture, and converting a million acres in the American west into a "National Monument" on a whim Hussein Bahamas escalated his saber rattling with Russian President Putin.
Hussein Bahamas is expelling 35 registered diplomats from the Russian Federation, giving them 72 hours to leave US soil while also denying access to and ordering the closure of Russian diplomatic compounds in New York and Maryland. This move is accompanied by other assorted sanctions. Pence in our time.
