Disney's Maker Studios has cut ties PewDiePie, the YouTube submitter with 53 million subscribers, over anti-Semitic clips the submitter released earlier in the year. The clips, three videos published in January, have since been removed from the channel. According to TechCrunch, "They included one skit in which Kjellberg paid a Sri Lanka-based group of men to hold up a sign that read “Death to All Jews,” while another featured a clip of a man dressed as Jesus saying that “Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.” Kjellberg used freelance job finding site Fiverr for both clips. He argued that he wasn’t serious with either and instead wanted to show the things people will do for money."

As the Miami Herald reports,
"On a day when a blizzard is pasting Maine and Northern California faces a dire flooding threat, several of the National Weather Service's primary systems for sending out alerts to the public have failed.
As of approximately 1:15 p.m. Eastern Time, products from the National Weather Service ceased disseminating over the Internet, including forecasts, warnings and current conditions."
The systems are back up as of Monday evening.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed a system which will in essence make it madatory for you to have "permission" before even an American Citizen can leave or enter the country, effectively putting everyone on a no-fly list unless the government says otherwise.
Interestingly, the proposal does not seem to cover personal travel, only that on some sort of carrier like an airline or cruise vessel. While this certainly is concerning, it isn't exactly new, as a passport is already required for circumstances covered under the proposal.
