If a Sketchy Russian Ad Network Promotes a Facebook Event, Will Anyone Show Up? Last week, news broke a network of fake Russian trolls bought at least $1.

Facebook between June 2. May 2. 01. 7. The ads were sometimes politically themed and potentially reached tens of millions of Americans, raising questions about possible links to increasingly well- evidenced allegations of Russian interference in the 2. Donald Trump’s campaign, and could have ultimately been linked to some kind of marketing operation instead. Here’s something a little more tangible, per the Daily Beast.

Apparently, a known Russian front company managed to use “Facebook’s event management tool to remotely organize and promote political protests in the U. S., including an August 2. Muslim rally in Idaho,” which were promoted using ads paid for by the same network of fake accounts. According to the Beast, Facebook confirmed the events were taken down in the same purge of the $1. The Idaho rally originally appeared as sponsored by “Secured.

Borders,” the same front allegedly responsible for an eclipse- themed meme of Donald Trump the president actually tweeted. Secure. Borders is linked to the Internet Research Agency, a strange St. Petersburg venture with ties to both Vladimir Putin and private interests. But if this was an attempt to actually translate influence into a change in the behavior of US voters, the event does not seem to have been very successful.

In 2009, I watched in horror as a total of 690,000 new vehicles averaging $24,000 each were sold under the Cash For Clunkers program in 2009. The government's $4,000.

One cached Facebook event which appears to be the same one flagged by the Beast had just 4. Without more details, a lot of this is inherently speculative—one could interpret this as a test for some kind of government op, or perhaps an attempt by the troll farm to pretend it had a real- life presence while it was hawking merchandise or linking slack- jawed US yokels to profit- generating malware. But whatever was going on with this specific event, it seems to have been a very curious use of someone’s dollars, or rubles, or whatever.[The Daily Beast].

Big Idiot Drives Into Even Bigger Sinkhole Because He Was Staring at His Phone. There are a lot of reasons not to stare at your phone while you’re driving.

A little kid might jump into the road, a car in front of you might have to stop unexpectedly, or a giant fucking sinkhole might swallow the entire road. A man in China learned that last one the hard way recently. CCTV footage shows the man on his scooter, staring at his phone before driving directly into the sinkhole. The incident took place in the southwestern city of Beihai, and remarkably the man wasn’t seriously injured. In fact, he reportedly climbed out of the hole all by himself.

The Guardian has video of the incident: So, again, let that be a lesson to all drivers everywhere. Even if you’re on calm surface streets with barely any traffic in sight, put your phone away until you’ve reached your destination. The year 2. 01. 7 has clearly shown that the Earth is tired of humanity’s bullshit. And it’s probably going to deliver plenty more sinkholes to remind us just how weak we really are.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the sun itself stopped shining today, just to spite us. You never know.[The Guardian].
