Today
we visit with Washington Post columnist and best-selling author David
Ignatius about his latest CIA thriller, THE PALADIN, which
delivers an urgent warning about the dangers of “deep fakes”—the
false narratives that intelligence operatives can now spin with
alarming precision and aim at industries, individuals, and even
entire governments in order to inflict lethal damage. In the
competition to manipulate reality, the line between good actors and
bad is increasingly blurred, and no one is immune to the reputational
fallout. https://amzn.to/2ZPsHq0

They put the “bar” in salad bar! A Missouri supermarket is selling miniature liquor bottles instead of veggies at a serve-yourself salad station during the Coronavirus crisis, according to a viral tweet. “My grocery store has replaced the salad in the salad bar with…. liquor,” shopper Emily A. posted on Twitter, along with a photo of the boozy bar she says was found at a Dierbergs market. The image — which shows piles of 99-cent hard liquor bottles on one side of the station, along with beer on the other — drew cheers from pandemic-weary boozehounds on social media. “Best. Salad. Bar. EVAH,” one person wrote on Twitter. (https://bit.ly/2ZlXnPn)

Earth won't always have the same North Star. The North Star might seem like a fixed marker in the sky. However, what we now recognize as the North Star, Polaris, hasn't always been our guiding light—and it won't always be in the future. By the year 13,000 A.D., the star Vega will take its place, according to NASA. And by the year 26,000, Polaris will be right back where it was and return to its status as the North Star.

A
heartbroken woman in China took revenge on her ex-boyfriend by
dumping a ton of onions at his doorstep, apparently in a bid to make
him cry as much as she did. According to the Daily Mail, the woman -
identified only by her surname Zhao - was devastated after her
boyfriend broke up with her. They had been together for over a year
but the man reportedly cheated on her. Furious at this, Ms. Zhao
decided to get 1,000 kgs, equivalent to 2,200 pounds, of onions
delivered to his doorstep. She also sent instructions that the
veggies were to be dumped on the offending ex's doorstep without
contacting him. Photos and videos that have gone massively viral on
Chinese social media platforms like Weibo show sacks of red onions
being delivered to the ex's home in Zibo, eastern China. Along with
the onions, Ms. Zhao also sent a note that read: “I've cried for
three days, now it's your turn.” (https://bit.ly/2LMkSJp)

A Florida sheriff’s office employee reportedly hid a camera in his roommate’s bedroom to spy on her. Llewellyn Berkheiser III, a 28-year-old communication specialist for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, was busted Saturday after his roommate found a GoPro camera in a vent in her bedroom. Berkheiser’s roommate, who was not identified, told deputies she discovered the recording device Friday when she noticed she couldn’t see light in the vent from an adjoining kitchen that was usually visible. Berkheiser told the woman a maintenance man from their apartment complex possibly put the camera there, but the woman checked with building records and found that no employees had been in the apartment since March. He later admitted to putting the camera in the vent. Investigators also seized his camera, cellphone, and laptop. He was charged with one count of video voyeurism and has been relieved of his duties as internal and criminal investigations are underway. (https://bit.ly/2zvIgIx)
