IT’S HARD TO think about much beyond Brexit this week—and we’ll get to its sweeping security implications in just a minute—but there was plenty of ado before the UK voted to divorce the EU.
Legal proceedings continue apace for convicted Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht, as prosecutors filed a nearly 200-page argument against an appeal. Meanwhile, if you guessed that the DIY assault rifle community was experiencing an uptick in the wake of Orlando, you were correct. Well done. On the other side of the gun debate, House Democrats staged a sit-in to protest a lengthy Republican blockade against any sort of reform measure votes, and resorted to Periscope to get the word out when the GOP pulled C-SPAN’s plug. In a somewhat lighter move, a Chrome bug makes pirating movies a cinch.

And stay safe out there.
