Apologies for Wednesday’s missing link roundup; it has been run to Earth and put in the stockade until it learns the benefits of promptness. The elision was occasioned by a spectacularly amateurish hacking attempt on our site and associated Gmail,… Read More ›
There is no publicly-accessible database of shootings by US police officers. Let those words sink in. While you’re at it, consider that the words “Law Enforcement Officer” and “Peace Officer” are meant to refer to the same thing. This thing…. Read More ›

They’re BACK! UGNazi was, in 2012 a seemingly-invincible hacking crew with heavy trollish leanings (as you can tell from the nomenclature and the icon) once made up of JoshTheGod, CosmoTheGod, and Mr0sama. Their attacks targeted organizations and government departments which… Read More ›
