Judge orders DreamHost to turn over inauguration protest website data

A judge ruled Thursday that web hosting company DreamHost must turn over data from an Inauguration Day protest website to federal prosecutors looking to find evidence against people charged with rioting during the event. D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Morin said there would be safeguards in place to address First Amendment concerns raised by the company, which said it was “problematic” to turn over such sensitive information. As a result of the ruling, investigators will be able to review emails related to the website DisruptJ20 .org and identify those who sent and received communications through the domain. But the judge, who ruled from the bench, ordered the government to abide by strict rules to minimize the collection of information about individuals who communicated through the website but committed no crime. “I am going to be supervising their search,” Judge Morin told the lawyers. The Justice Department said it’s no longer looking for casual visitors to the websit...

Snag This IKEA Sleeper Sofa for Your Apartment

When it comes to furnishing small spaces , the living room is arguably the biggest challenge. If you even have enough space for a sofa and a TV, finding a couch that doubles as a bed for overnight guests (and serves as a storage space) probably sounds like a far-off fantasy. Enter the IKEA Friheten Sleeper Sofa ($600). I first spotted this small-space gem in the dark gray wash at my friend's studio apartment in the East Village, and I was admittedly shocked to learn it was from IKEA. I had a second sighting when renting an Airbnb for my visiting family members on Irving Place, and I was struck again by the stylish practicality of this $600 all-in-one sofa, chaise, and bed. It pulls out into a comfortable bed, solving all your woes when you have a last-minute visitor, and it has an ample compartment underneath the chaise dedicated to storage. The chaise section is removable, and it can be placed on either side of the sofa. And most importantly, it doesn't sacrifice function ...

Pastor allegedly revealed desire to ‘eat’ Nicki Minaj’s ‘booty’

Image
via William Dewberry MySpace page A man of God may have reacted unholy when viewing an image of Nicki Minaj on Instagram. The incident allegedly took place after Nicki Minaj posted a photo of herself that shows most of her derriére. Pastor William Henry Dewberry III , of Church of God in Christ in Memphis, was reportedly inspired to respond to the photo. “I’ll love to eat your booty @nickiminaj,” Dewberry allegedly wrote in the comments section on Nicki Minaj’s Instagram page, according to Complex. When it was discovered that the comment came from Dewberry’s account, some in the religious community was appalled by his actions. Dewberry went to Facebook and asked for prayers because he claimed that someone had made a fake account under his name. However, the account features a multitude of images of Dewberry and his family and there are interactions between him and his followers. Dewberry is the latest prominent pastor to catch flack for sinful behaviors. In January, Pastor O. Jerma...

Jukin Media expands its viral video empire in Culver City

Jukin Media, the company behind viral sensations such as Pizza Rat and Chewbacca Mask Lady , will nearly double its office space in Culver City to produce more original programming off its trove of user- generated video clips . The company, which buys the rights to amateur videos that are shared widely, expects to see a greater percentage of its business shift toward hosted shows that showcase those videos, not unlike an “America’s Funniest Home Videos ,” but for the social media set . To accommodate that strategy, the company plans to expand its 16,000-square-foot office at Jefferson and La Cienega boulevards with an additional 14,000-square- foot production space next door. The new facility, which will break ground Oct . 1, will include two sound stages, sound mixing suites , video-editing suites, a screening room and a green room. Jukin, which rents all its space, expects to move in by mid-November. A studio will allow Jukin to craft more polished programming and secure its own pr...
