No One Knows What Vape Juice Actually Is

As the FDA continues to investigate what, exactly, it is in vape juice that’s making people sick (and just what’s in vape juice, at all, in general), NBC News went ahead and commissioned some testing of its own . The outlet had a cannabis testing facility take a look at the contents of 18 different THC cartridges, some purchased from dispensaries and others from “black market” sources. The vast majority of the carts from illicit sources were found to contain pesticides; vitamin E (a suspected culprit of the mystery vaping illnesses); and myclobutanil, which turns to hydrogen cyanide when burned. "You certainly don’t want to be smoking cyanide," Antonio Frazier, the vice president of operations at the testing facility, CannaSafe, told NBC. "I don’t think anyone would buy a cart that was labeled hydrogen cyanide on it." Yeah, of course not. The word “CYANIDE” printed in big letters across the side of an e-cig cartridge would, I hope, freak most people out. But, most

Here Are Seven Crimes Trump Might Have Committed in This Ukraine Scandal

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s Department of Justice breezily dismissed the notion that Trump might have committed a crime by pressing the President of Ukraine to investigate his 2020 rival Joe Biden. But plenty of legal experts say the evidence against Trump and his team is far worse than the DOJ’s rose-colored view, especially when it comes to campaign finance law. Impeaching a president doesn’t require an outright crime. But showing criminal behavior took place would strengthen the hand of those seeking to boot Trump from office in the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of an official impeachment inquiry against Trump. “This is beyond probable cause, in my view,” said Mimi Rocah, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. “Based on what we know so far, would you dive into an investigation? Hell yeah. We’ve done investigations on a lot less than this.” Trump has described his call with Ukraine’s president as “innocent” and “perfect,” and leg

These heroes allegedly hacked a billboard to play pornography

Image
Not all heroes wear capes. In the case of two individuals accused of hacking a digital billboard to play pornography, the garments of choice appear to be more hoodie-like.  According to Michigan's Auburn Hills Police Department , at 10:49 p.m. on Sept. 28, the two individuals pictured above broke into a small building underneath a digital billboard on the side of I-75. Once inside, they somehow managed to hack the billboard and used it to play pornography.  Drivers, needless to say, were surprised and delighted at the unexpected sight.  The video reportedly ran for about 15 to 20 minutes before it was eventually shut down.  Read more...

Trippy video breaks down how YouTube demonetizes LGBTQ creators for using words like 'gay'

Image
It's long been rumored that YouTube's machine learning algorithm specifically demonetizes LGBTQ content — despite YouTube's denials. But the allegations got a boost over the weekend when two creators published videos pointing out how they think YouTube goes about blocking LGBTQ content from making money. YouTube Analyzed fed more than 15,000 words used in titles to YouTube's bots to figure out what the platform deems too scandalous for advertisers. Words that triggered demonetization in his tests include "gay" and "homosexual." Another channel, Nerd City, then broke down YouTube Analyzed's data in the acid trip of a video seen above. Before tackling YouTube's shadowy demonetization policy, Nerd City was known for diving into Jake Paul's insidious marketing schemes, exposing family vlogging channels as exploitative, and highlighting obviously edited Instagram photos as bad for young followers' self esteem.

The Latest ‘The King’s Man’ Trailer Shows Gentlemen Not Being Gentle Men

Image
So far what we’ve seen of The King’s Man , Matthew Vaughn’s prequel to his Kingsman series, hasn’t looked very Kingsman -y. The prim first trailer is even nearly indistinguishable from that of Sam Mendes’ forthcoming thriller 1917 , also set circa World War I. The latest one corrects that. It’s action-packed, if not as over-the-top silly as its modern day-set brethren. This latest one basically picks up where the first left off, with Ralph Fiennes’ Duke of Oxford, a secret agent, introducing young Harris Dickinson to their weaponized fold. There are plenty of gun battles and explosions and even sword fights, but we also get more of a glimpse of the other team members, played by Djimon Hounsou and Gemma Arterton. The plot finds our heroes battling a supergroup of historical tyrants, one of whom is Rhys Ifans’ sure-to-be-hammy Rasputin. This is a bold move for a franchise, moving backwards and ditching its main cast. Taron Egerton mentioned last year that he’s not in this third e
