Melania Trump Lawsuit Is Not The 'Next Gawker,' It's The Open Beta Of A Trump Presidency

And while Trump has been out front with his open hostility towards a free press, I'm not entirely sure that Hillary Clinton is significantly better in this regard.

DEA wants to look at millions of people's private medical records without a warrant

The DEA is suing states for warrantless access to millions of individuals' medical records, so they can inflict more misery on people in chronic pain or other legitimate needs for controlled substances.

Daily Beast:


In his 2014 ruling against the DEA, District Court Judge Ancer L. Haggerty called warrantless searches of such data an egregious invasion of privacy.

“It is difficult to conceive of information that is... more deserving of Fourth Amendment protection,” Haggerty said. “By obtaining the prescription records for individuals like John Does 2 and 4, a person would know that they have used testosterone in particular quantities and by extension, that they have gender identity disorder and are treating it through hormone therapy.

“Although there is not an absolute right to privacy in prescription information... it is more than reasonable for patients to believe that law enforcement agencies will not have unfettered access to their records,” he added.

The Obama administration disagrees, and argues that since the records have already been submitted to a third party (Oregon's PDMP) that patients no longer enjoy an expectation of privacy.

Good luck getting that Chewbacca mask because it's sold out almost everywhere

Talk about viral marketing. 


Just 24 hours after the world was introduced to Candace Payne and her "happy Chewbacca" mask in the most-watched Facebook Live video to date, the toy has flown off shelves and is now out of stock at virtually every retailer that carried it. 


The mask, which was sold in conjunction with last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens blockbuster and makes electronic Chewbacca noises when worn, was the star of the viral video in which Payne live streamed herself giddily trying it on and laughing hysterically Thursday.

Aussie tennis player defends match point with the wrong end of the racket

If you're going to lose, do it with the style of a sullen teenager.


Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic, 23, did just that on Tuesday, deciding for some reason to hold his racket in reverse while trying to "defend" match point at the Madrid Open.



The world number 22 tried, with the least possible amount of effort, to hit back the serve of Italian Fabio Fognini who was up 40-0 in a 5-4 set. Predictably, the ball sailed past the ridiculously small surface area of Tomic's racket handle. 



Tomic could have tried to win back three points in quick succession given he wasn't losing by that much, but nah, screw it. Tomic's appetite for bad behaviour has been a lingering issue for years, varying from accusations of lack of sportsmanship to getting arrested in Miami. Read more...

Edible spoons promise to be tasty while saving the planet

Tired of seeing mountains of plastic cutlery polluting India's landfills, Narayana Peesapaty had an idea: What if you could eat your disposable spoon rather than toss it?


Peesapaty, a researcher and agriculture consultant from Hyderabad, India, developed an edible spoon made of millet, rice and wheat flours, in 2010. Now, after selling 1.5 million spoons for his company Bakeys, he wants to reach even more eaters. Peesapaty knows that means he has to cut the cost of his products to compete with cheaper plastic counterparts.

How the Jian Ghomeshi verdict shows rape culture in action

Of more than one dozen men and women who have accused former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi of assault, three testified in court against him during a week-long criminal trial in Toronto, Canada, in February. 


They were ultimately unsuccessful. 


A judge found Ghomeshi not guilty on Thursday of four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance to sex assault by choking. The judge, William B. Horkins, said Ghomeshi had to be acquitted mainly due to "inconsistencies" in the testimonies of the alleged victims.


Though Justice Horkins was in a sense hamstrung by the high burden of proof required by criminal law in alleged rape cases, his 26-page judgment is still instructional.  Read more...

The GOP State of the Union response is proof that even Republicans are sick of Trump

WASHINGTON — For seven years, the official Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address was a careful recitation of Republican principles and attacks on the president. Not this time.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley used her moment in the spotlight to issue a thinly-veiled warning to Donald Trump, attacking the billionaire Republican front-runner with rhetoric that was as strong as anything she said about the president.

"Today we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country," she said. Read more...
