The Tribeca Film Festival is canceling plans to host the world premiere of an anti-vaccine film called “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.”
Festival co-founder Robert De Niro, who defended the inclusion of the film just one day earlier, said Saturday that “we have decided to remove it from our schedule.”
For Dutch company Guard From Above, bird is the word. The firm claims to be “the first company in the world to use birds of prey to intercept hostile drones.”
At the end of Jan., Guard From Above released a video in which one of its trained assassins incapacitates a quadcopter in mid-air. The raptor swings up, clenches the hapless, sputtering robot in its talons, and plants the device on a ledge—in what looks to be the avian equivalent of a choke-hold.
The company says it works “mainly for national and international governmental security agencies,” including a test partnership with the Dutch National Police. (The police department has apparently asked a Dutch scientific research organization to make sure no birds are harmed on the job.)
Killer eagles are not totally unexpected. At the end of 2014, Fortune predicted that drone hunting would become a sport. And from a counter-terrorism point of view, if we already use canines to sniff out drugs and bombs, why not use raptors to tackle drones?
What was supposed to be a happy trip to see the Easter Bunny at the Newport Mall in Jersey City turned into an all-out brawl in front of shocked children.
A video posted to Twitter on Sunday shows a man dressed as the Easter Bunny, without the head, throwing furry fists as customers wait in line to have their photos taken.
The beginning of the clip shows other customers and mall security separating the Easter Bunny and a man in a brown shirt. The fight appears to be over, but seconds later, the Easter Bunny throws off his gloves and goes after the man again.
Eventually, security is able to get the situation under control.
SMH! Can you imagine being a child and witnessing this take place? Tragic.
The Easter Bunny? In a brawl in the mall. Only in 2016.
