America Rejected By All But Its Worst

John Kasich, the physical incarnation of America, was soundly thrashed in all of the "Battleground Tuesday" electoral contests except one. That one was Ohio. Ohio is for many sound reasons the objectively worst part of America. At least in every way except for the one where Ohio actually stood by America and it's avatar on Earth John Kasich in an electoral contest. So far John Kasich, America has lost every nominating contest this electoral season except Ohio.

Aspiring 'An Hero' Survives Police Station Assault

Michael Ford, despite recording his last will and testament in anticipation of dying to become 'an hero' to the people, managed to survive an armed assault on a police station in Landover, Maryland (archived). Instead a narcotics detective in street clothes who intervened to allow his fellow officers an opportunity to capture Ford alive was fatally shot by his fellow officers. Two of Ford's brothers who were present as non-combatant journalists are in police custody for recording the event in a clear assault by police on the American constitutional right for citizens to act as a free press. Video of the incident does not yet appear to be available on WORLDSTARHIPHOP at this time.

Qualcomm "Snapdragon" Chips Allegedly Riddled With Vulnerabilities

Trend Micro in a blog post is alleging that Qualcomm's "Snapdragon" family of system on a chip computers are riddled with numerous security vulnerabilities, particularly when paired with Google's Android operating system (archived). The continued plagues of leaky abstraction and faux compartmentalization which require ever larger collections of "teams" to design new chips in the popular style as well as the war on computing suggest that we are going to increasingly see security vulnerabilities baked into silicon. Instead of celebrating the death of Moore's law as occasion to move towards saner architectural decisions, the trend appears to be favoring further insanity and a proliferation of nooks and crannies for culturing security holes organically or placing them deliberately.

Growing Criminal Obeast And Transmayo Problem Pushes New Zealand To Plus Sized Handcuffs

As New Zealand Police struggle to control an increasing undisciplined population of obeasts and transmayo gendered individuals they have been pushed to adapt their equipment to the problem. The New Zealand Herald reports that the country's police are trading in their perfectly serviceable cuffs that work to restrain human sized individuals and getting new cuffs that are big enough to restrain Obeasts that ate themselves to the point they lost visible wrists (archived). A spokesman for national headquarters claims the new cuffs adjust sufficiently to continue being effective on more mobile human sized law enforcement prey, but this remains to be seen.

Bharara And Goons Move Artifacts From Unsanctioned To Sanctioned Looters

In a press release federal goons reporting to Preet Bharara announced that through shenanigans surrounding the provenance of two artifacts they created cover for seizing them. This scheme is a common means by which agents of various governments transfer art and relics from unfavored looters to favored looters. Through this magic rare items are able to be auctioned more than once laundering the wealth and creating more opportunities for taxing the transactions.
