About a year ago, a mugshot was taken of a Jeremy Meeks, who has been known to commit many a crime. What was odd about Jeremy's mugshot though, is that many people found him incredibly attractive and his mugshot went viral.
Now there is a new sheriff in town when the Mugshot of Sean Kory, another overly handsome criminal being complimented for his appearance. although Sean's Crimes were not as bad as Jeremy's, he is still a criminal. The internet may love them, but the court does not. Internet culture is constantly evolving and it will bandwagon around the strangest things, from pictures of random people to overused memes from 2002. Which definitely makes it an interesting place.

This test flight for commercial space travel went wrong in a way that has not yet been discovered, but at this time is thought to of been an explosion of sorts. Everyone involved in the projects says that they understood the risks and were willing to take them due to the importance of the work they were doing. A comment made of the behalf of the project was "Unless you risk something, the world stands still" Really shows how much these people care about their work, and how much of a risk theyre willing to take.

Gamer Gate
In an online news article by Josh Harkinson, He talks about the hostility of a gaming community known as Gamer Gate, who have recently become more publicized due to their outrageous threats. Gamer Gate sends threats of rape, murder, mass shootings, and overall violence to people who don't support their cause of "violent video games don't make people more violent". When, quite the contrary, people who regularly play violent video games are desensitized to violence, and show increased aggression.
On Halloween, This article was released to let everyone know of the video game extremists, and how ironic their actions are. Although, not all video gamers are violent, this group of them are. Gamer Gate is being taken as a serious threat, as it should be. Nobody who is "non-violent" Threatens people with school shootings and rape. Josh Harkinson is letting everyone he can that Gamer Gate is dangerous, and maybe you yourself should be careful with how you spend your time, whether its shoot-em-up video games, or thriller television, it has an affect on you, whether you know it or not.
