In a magnificent example of f(l)ail, Ashley Madison has decided that its users’ information is copyright and is issuing DMCA take-down notices to try to scrub it from the web.
Afterthought:
As a money-making enterprise, Ashley Madison is toast, and soggy toast at that.

No, it’s not more tragedy in Africa.
It was a two-door sudan. Here’s the screengrab:
“Heritage” 0
Out Lexington way, Raymond Agnor wished to defend his gigantic Confederate Battle ensign, so he bought an ad in his local rag.
Just follow the damned link.

“Drone users must understand that when taking to the skies they are entering one of the busiest areas of airspace in the world,” said Tim Johnson, director of policy at the CAA, in a statement.
Drone owners must be aware of the rules and regulations surrounding the flying of their craft, he said.
Recklessly endangering an aircraft is a criminal offence, said Mr Johnson, and those convicted could face a five-year jail sentence.
It’s won’t be long until some bozo brings down an airliner while playing with his masturbatory mechanical aero-vibrator.

This Is Your School Administration’s Brain on Drugs 0
A judge has ruled that a kid’s suit for having been suspended for having not-pot can continue.
I’m old and out of touch.
I can’t say that I liked my schools’ admininistrators, though the high school principle was sort of okay in an old-fogey kind of way (after all, he was in my parents’ bridge club) and the elementary school principle was really cool and could hit a softball for a country mile. Mr. Lawson, the superintendent, wasn’t very likable from a student’s perspective. He was distant, remote, gray (as I am now), and had the people skills of a brick; nevertheless, he wasn’t stupid. Indeed, he guided the school system quite skillfully through the difficult days of desegregation.
When did stupid become a job qualification for being a school administrator?
Twits on Twitter 0
Yet another Q&A does not go as intended. Instead, it goes as anyone with half a brain would have expected.
Also, stupid anti-vaxxer twits who do not remember the pictures of children languishing in iron lungs before the polio vaccine was created.

This is not a felicitous fashion choice; fetishistic, maybe, but hardly felicitous. The cops might think, with some justification, that you are asking for it.

At Gawker, a place I seldom visit without a referral from my PCP, Sam Biddle rounds up a herd of Texan derp.
