  • Christchurch attacker livestreamed shooting spree, posted manifesto to 8chan Brenton Tarrant killed at least 40 in POV filmed mosque attack.

    A gunman – now identified as Brenton Tarrant – has massacred unarmed people in a mosque in Christchurch’s Hagley Park (New Zealand), and the gruesome events were livestreamed on Facebook by the shooter himself. Early reports suggest that at least six people have been shot, but the livestream of the incident – copies of which quickly spread to filesharing websites like Mega.nz, AnonFile (kiwifarms mirror), and Zippyshare – show dozens of casualties within and around the mosque. (New reports now back this up, saying at least 40 dead: see bottom of article for updates.) The mass shooter advertised the livestream, as well as a manifesto titled “The Great Replacement,” to…

  • Japanese police arrest teenage girl for Javascript prank The classic infinite alerts loop.

    A 13-year-old girl has been arrested in Japan for producing a Javascript-based prank that creates infinite alerts. Police in the Japanese city of Kariya charged the teenager for distributing the malicious code on an online message board. The code, which can be viewed here, creates an infinite loop that pops up an alert message, immediately showing a new message every time you click “OK.” Desktop browsers have no problem closing the page once it’s opened. Chrome, for example, lets you close the tab in spite of the pop-up. On the other hand, mobile browsers are particularly susceptible to this sort of prank, as it is difficult to close the tab…

  • Ian McKellen canceled for supporting Kevin Spacey "I’m waiting for someone to accuse _me_ of something."

    The actor best known for playing Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, Ian McKellen, is facing the heat for statements about disgraced actor Kevin Spacey and alleged gay sexual abuser Bryan Singer. McKellen shared a controversial theory on why Spacey and Singer allegedly abused underaged men on a podcast called #QueerAF with journalist Evan Davis, who queried him on his opinions about the two gay men. McKellen, an openly gay actor, shared his belief that the entertainers allegedly abused minors because they were unable to be open about their sexuality. “Well, frankly, I’m waiting for someone to accuse me of something,” McKellen joked. “And me wondering whether they’re not telling the truth,…

  • Alt-left bloggers are lying to you on Daily Dot Asian journalist reports on gaming controversy involving gender. That makes him a white nationalist troll. What?

    On October 23, games journalist Ian Miles Cheong released a YouTube video and a LULZ article reporting on the doxxing and harassment campaign targeting CD Projekt Red employees and their relatives. The report quickly went viral, reaching the Reddit front page with the most popular thread earning 5,6k upvotes. The story was already bizarre: the entire hullabaloo had started over a tweet accidentally gender appropriating the #WontBeErased hashtag for a non-transgender purpose, after all. Then a Daily Dot hit piece appeared. And while the article itself could find no factual fault with the reporting, its title suggested the polar opposite – and far worse. Ian had become a literally Hitler.…

  • Graham ‘offensive comedians should be imprisoned’ Linehan is a hypocrite of the highest order Graham Linehan wants comedians imprisoned for making nazi caricatures. His old show reveals he did the exact same thing—and more.

    Graham Linehan is a hypocrite of the highest order. The British comedy writer best known for his work on The IT Crowd, is standing against freedom of speech, attacking Scottish comedian Count Dankula for his “grossly offensive” joke. Earlier this week, 30-year-old Markus Meechan, also known as Count Dankula, was given a guilty verdict of “being grossly offensive” after he posted a video in which he joked about training his girlfriend’s pet dog to make the Nazi salute in a video titled “M8 Yur Dug’s a Nazi.” Meechan received support from The Office star Ricky Gervais and Jewish comedian David Baddiel, who defended his right to free speech. “If you…

Others, it is reported, are gathering and storing untreated spring water—known to harbor potentially lethal bacteria that survivalists, travel guides, and soldiers will warn you from drinking. Food safety experts warn that consuming so-called “raw” water can cause deadly infections including cholera, hepatitis A, and E. coli, among other water-borne diseases. Startups dedicated to selling untreated water are also on the rise. One company, called Zero Mass Water, is selling…

  • Top Imam declares bitcoin haram, calls for ban Egypt’s leading Muslim imam has declared Bitcoin “haram”—forbidden under Islam—endorsing a ban on cryptocoin trading.

Its priced has soared by a thousand percent in 2017, spiraling from less than $100 per unit, and peaking at $19,000 before the end of the year. The price is currently fluctuating between $14,000 to $15,000. Sheikh Shawki Allam, the Grand Mufti of Egypt issued a fatwa (religious decree) on Monday to ban the trade on digital currencies.

    The Kilroy Free Speech conference organized by the YouTube skeptic and commentary community is dead in the water. Weeks of controversy between invited speakers, planners, and its co-founders culminated in the departure of its project staff on Sunday. The Phoenix, Arizona-based event was initially devised by two YouTubers—Dave Cullen, and the lesser-known Based Mama, the latter of whom led the project—in April 2018. Promoted as an event ostensibly about free speech, its organizers raised upwards of $85,000 in funds and advertised the participation of high-profile skeptic and political commentary YouTubers from across the political spectrum, including video journalist Tim Pool; comedian Markus “Count Dankula” Meechan; right-wing commentators Lauren Southern, Brittany Pettibone,…

  • Apple’s iPhone X FaceID thinks Chinese faces look the same Apple’s new FaceID technology is incapable of telling certain Chinese faces apart from each other, according to reports coming out of mainland China.

    It’s life imitating every racist joke about Chinese mainlanders. Technology can never be racist, which requires motive and intent, but much like certain surface-detection sensors that prevent people with dark skin from activating automatic hand-dryers, Apple’s FaceID may suffer from a fatal flaw that prevents it from properly distinguishing people who look alike. A man identifying by “Liu” told Shangdong TV that he called Apple’s customer service hotline to report that his son was able to unlock the iPhone X he bought for his wife, and locked using FaceID. “Our son was using it and didn’t know the password,” he said, as translated by AsiaWire, via the DailyMirror. He said…
