Source: Robert Loe / Getty According to CNN , the city of Atlanta is under a cyberattack using a Ransomware application to attack city information systems. The malicious software takes over the systems and prevents or limits users from accessing their accounts until a ransom is paid. 11Alive says the city received a ransom demand in bitcoin for $6,800 per unit or $51,000 to unlock the entire system. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is urging city employees to check their bank accounts and contact any finical institutions they have accounts with to make sure their personal information hasn’t been compromised. The FBI is currently investigating the cyberattack, but no word on any suspects.
I n case you forgot, it was white women who got President Trump into office. Even through decades of sexism and “grab ’em by the p***sy,” white women didn’t fail the reality star. According to NewRepublic.com , “more white women voted for Donald Trump than for Hillary Clinton” and “The only factor that differentiated the level of support among white women voters was education, with college-educated white women favoring Clinton, compared to non-college educated women who favored Trump by a far higher margin.” Now, some white women are trying to fix that in unique ways — witchcraft. See below: Actually, this is nothing new. Vox reported back in October that every month a group of witches go to Trump Tower in New York City and cast a spell to protect America from our insane president. They are known as “resistance witches” and “at least 13,000-strong umbrella group of internet neo-pagans, Wiccans, solo practitioners who self-identify as ‘hedge witches,’ longtime magical practitioners in various traditions, and committed activists.” They are part of a #MagicResistance (yes, that is a real thing) and have come together every month since Trump’s inauguration. The folks are serious, check out some of their tweets below: We're hunting you, all right!

Maybe they need to call on some Yoruba or Santeria saints, Oshun and Oya might make magic happen. Let’s hope Ben Carson doesn’t hear about this, he will surely think all liberals are possessed by witchcraft — even though he is possessed by stupidity.

For years now, I’ve been saying that Dakota Fanning should give up on that whole acting thing and just focus on becoming a model. Or at the very least, a professional Instagram hottie. Anyway, so I’m happy to report that Dakota’s finally following in her younger sister Elle ‘s footsteps. Maybe next they can take a bikini vacation together. P.S. I’m available to tag along.

Source: Cheryl Chenet / Getty Toys “R” Us founder Charles Lazarus has passed away at the age 94 years old, just one week after the company announced it plans to shut down all U.S. operations. It’s quite possible Lazarus died of a broken heart. As Just Jared reports, he started the company back in 1948 when he was just 25 years old “in anticipation of the baby boom” and remained CEO until 1994—only to see it closing down in 2018, of course. The company said in a statement, ““There have been many sad moments for Toys ‘R’ Us in recent weeks, and none more heartbreaking than today’s news about the passing of our beloved founder. He visited us in New Jersey just last year, and we will forever be grateful for his positive energy, passion for the customer and love for children everywhere.” May Charles rest in peace.

We’re very sad to say it, but… …. here we go again. As has been well documented over the past several months, Amy Roloff receives flak nearly every time she shares a photo of herself and boyfriend Chris Marek. It’s really not clear why. Marek has given the public no reason not to think he’s in this relationship for the right reasons and Amy has been divorced from Matt Roloff for about two years now. And yet: Roloff goes on vacation with Marek, posts a picture and BAM! The fangs come out from certain followers . There seems to be some kind of vocal minority out there that believes Marek is using Amy for her money and/or that Amy doesn’t have a right to be in a serious relationship right now. The latest example of these critics speaking out took place over the weekend. As you can see above, Amy shared a photograph of her and Marek, out and about on St. Patrick’s Day. “A little Irish sprinkle w/ luck. #goodfriendsgoodtimes #stpatricksday #amyssecondactcontinues,” wrote Amy as a caption to this seemingly harmless picture. But was it really so harmless? No, not according to some trolls who may or may not have some major issues with which they need to deal. One person, for example, called Chris out for not wearing green, while another told him to go ahead and “get lost.” So what that Amy is very happy with Marek, apparently! These Little People, Big World fans (can we even call them that, really?!?) are out for blood when it comes to Chris. Harsh, right? But, wait, it gets worse… Look, we know the Internet can be a mean place. It would be silly of us to pretend otherwise or to list every insult anyone ever hurled at any Roloff out there. This is just a confusing and unfortunate pattern, as Amy even gets attacked for sharing a simple post about Easter . Thankfully, she almost always seems to have a smile on her face. She doesn’t appear as if she’s letting this misguided hate get her down in any way. We’re very happy to see that. And we can’t wait to see more of Amy and her family when TLC finally starts airing new episodes of Little People, Big World on April 3.

Some of our younger viewers may not remember a time when Fox was home to content deemed too edgy for the more mainstream networks. Of course, our definition of “edgy” has changed dramatically in the past couple decades, and Cops and early seasons of The Simpsons seem pretty tame by today’s standards. One show that routinely pushed the envelope in Fox’s underground days was the Ed O’Neil, Christina Applegate sitcom Married With Children . And now it appears that one of TV’s trashiest families may have ties to the medium’s most wholesome clans. There are few things that Duggar fans love more than exposing the family’s moral imperfections. (To be fair, the family invites this on themselves with their more sanctimonious and hypocritical tendencies.) And the amateur sleuths who keep the closest watch on the Duggars believe they have unearthed a minor scandal involving Josh Duggar’s long-suffering wife, Anna. It’s hard to believe, but Duggar obsessives say they have evidence that Anna Duggar appeared in an episode of Married With Children way back in 1992. Before she married into the Duggar clan, Anna’s last name was Keller, and the credits confirm that an actress by that name did in fast appear in the episode. The most obvious explanation is that the show featured an actress who happened to have the same name. But that doesn’t explain why Anna’s official IMDB page features her sole acting credit. Anna would’ve been just 4 years old at the time, and many fans have cited her age as evidence that it’s impossible for her to have appeared on Married . But as several others have pointed out in a Reddit discussion forum on the subject (yes, fans are taking this very seriously), Anna’s role was not a speaking part, and she may have appeared in a group shot with other children. Anna, of course, stayed with Josh Duggar after it was revealed that he molested five young girl s, four of whom were his sisters. And she stayed with him when it was revealed that he’d used an Ashley Madison account to try and hit on her. Needless to say, the Bundy-gate is hardly the biggest scandal that Anna’s been involved with. But it would be amusing to find out with certainty that she starred in a show about a miserable marriage decades before she crossed paths with Josh. Watch Counting On online to be reminded of the extent of Anna’s self-sacrifice. View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Photos: Through the Years
The idea of a Burger King establishment enacting a policy that bans customers from returning once they’ve had an overdose on the grounds sounds like the premise of a particularly cruel The Onion article. Unfortunately, it’s real. The Burger King in question even posted a sign, which you can see below. Let’s be clear from the beginning: This one overdose per customer limit is not a rule passed down from Burger King corporate to different managers. But one particular Burger King in Worcester, Massachusetts decided that they needed to do something about the prevalence of drug use in their establishment. According to WBZ , “It’s common knowledge, people do use those restrooms to do that sort of thing. There have been overdoses in there.” And this is the sign that attracted the attention of police and, of course, of the internet. “You are ONLY allowed ONE overdose and then you are banned from this establishment.” Obviously, a number of critics — regardless of their opinions on the opioid epidemic that our nation faces — were shocked that a manager would even hang this in the first place. The internet exists. Signs don’t stay secret. On a surface level, the policy itself seems fair. If someone gets caught overdosing in a fast food place … it’s a business. You don’t need people nearly dying from drugs and frightening away customers who are there to eat food. If this were a shelter, someone might have a point in saying that the policy isn’t compassionate. But Burger Kings are not shelters. They’re restaurants. Let people eat their delicious onion rings in peace. At the same time, the way in which the sign was written — the phrasing — made it sound almost permissive. As if Burger King is fine with drug use within the establishment up until you overdose. Then and only then do they draw the line. Obviously, that does not reflect Burger King policy. Now, let’s be clear — this sign wasn’t put up for no reason. Between September of 2016 and September of 2017, this particular Burger King was the site of nine different overdoses. And, quite frankly, those are just the ones that got reported. The problem is very real. But the sign is not, um, the answer. Police met with the manager in order to discuss, you know, better solutions. Even people who are 100% in support of ending the prohibition of drugs and drug use, both because it’s the right thing to do and in an effort to end the current opioid epidemic, don’t think that people need to be shooting up or whatever inside of a Burger King . And groups who work to support and advocate for those who are battling addiction agree, saying that signs like this one “don’t help.” A Burger King spokesperson, whom we would like to imagine as a town crier reading out a royal edict, said: “The actions of this Team Member were an isolated incident and do not reflect the Burger King brand values or the values of the Franchisee, who independently owns and operates this restaurant.” Like many fast food chains, Burger King operates with a sort of … Burger Feudal system. At the top is Burger King itself, the corporate entity. Beyond that are franchisees, whom we might consider to be “Burger Barons.” Then there are store managers, who are like vassals — or Burger Knights. “The Franchisee is investigating this incident thoroughly and will take the actions they believe are appropriate.” In other words, a manager is going to have some explaining to do to a rich person who probably owns a number of these places. As a general rule, big companies do not like having to explain why one manager said or did something dumb. Burger King itself doesn’t really deserve this bad press. In fact, that they’ve kept a restaurant in such a troubled area to continue to serve the locals is commendable. Different people will hold different opinions on how people struggling with addiction should be treated. Some want them thrown in prison, others want them sent for treatment. Others still believe that it’s their right to take these substances — even if it kills them. But absolutely none of those people think that people have any business overdosing in a Burger King.
