University of Chicago professor satirizes abortion supporters in Telegram poetry group

Professor Rachel Fulton Brown – Subversive

A University of Chicago medievalist has formed a social media poetry group that trains writers to mock “woke politics,” including abortion supporters, as part of what she calls a bid to save Western civilization through preserving the English language.

Professor Rachel Fulton Brown, a medieval history professor at the Chicago school since 1994, said she set the group up on Telegram in summer 2020 with 10 people who soon set to work on lampooning abortion backers.

Military units track guns using tech that could aid foes

The rollout on Army and Air Force bases continues even though the Department of Defense itself describes putting the technology in firearms as a “significant” security risk.

The Marines have rejected radio frequency identification technology in weapons for that very reason, and the Navy said this week that it was halting its own dalliance.

Suspect in ATM attacks blew himself up filming tutorial, says Europol

Dutch and German police have broken up a criminal gang involved in making video tutorials on how to bomb cash machines after one of its members blew himself up in the process.

One suspect was killed and another was badly hurt in the Dutch city of Utrecht when a trial run went wrong at an illegal “training centre” for explosives attacks on ATMs, Europol said.

Police eventually made nine arrests during an 18-month operation targeting the gang, which the EU’s police agency said was linked to at least 15 bombings on ATMs in Germany that resulted in losses of €2.15m (£1.5m).
