Judge tosses DNC’s election-hacking lawsuit against Russia, WikiLeaks, and the Trump campaign

A federal judge dismissed Democrats’ lawsuit against Russia, WikiLeaks, and the Trump campaign on Tuesday, saying that Russia was the main culprit and could not be sued under federal law. The Democratic National Committee filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that those three parties, and others related to them, had violated hacking and racketeering laws in connection with the 2016 breach of the DNC’s computer systems and the subsequent release of the organization’s private emails.
Russia cannot be sued because of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which largely prevents lawsuits against foreign governments, wrote Judge John Koeltl, a Clinton appointee in the…
Twitter’s new ad campaign desperately wants to remind you that Twitter used to be fun

Twitter has a new ad campaign running in San Francisco and New York City, featuring tweets from the “Me on Twitter” memes, in which users post two photos (of themselves or otherwise) or statements highlighting how differently they behave on different social networks.
The campaign, as reported by Creative Bloq, seeks to embrace the platform as a place where quirky, funny, viral things happen. And they do — along with all of the other nonsense that concurrently happens on Twitter, ranging from harassment, racism, sexism, white nationalism, and Twitter generally being bad at enforcing its own anti-abuse policies.
But look at how funny these tweets are!
According to Creative Bloq, Twitter recently unfollowed…

The 2020 Corvette Stingray Is Already Almost Sold Out
Nearly every 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is already spoken for just weeks after the buzzed-about sports car was unveiled.
The grim news comes courtesy of Michael Simcoe, Vice President of Global Design at General Motors, who spoke with Autoblog about sales of Chevy’s first C8-generation ‘Vette at Concours d’Elegance of America in Michigan.
“It’s nearly sold out,” Simcoe said. “It’s so close that it’s bound to be sold out soon.”
Per Autoblog:
Chevy has been allowing folks to reserve a 2020 Corvette via an online registration process, and it was also something folks could do right on the Concours grounds today.
We don’t know how many Corvettes Chevy plans on selling for the C8’s first year of production. Therefore, we also don’t know how many reservations have been placed thus far.
Corvette sales numbers have bounced around a lot throughout history, but it’s surpassed 30,000 sales in many of the better years the model has been around.
It’s unclear at this point if Chevy is targeting high sales numbers like that in the first year of the mid-engine car.
Traditionally, the Stingray has been the “entry-level” option in the Corvette lineup. This new one supposedly has a sub-three-second zero-to-60 mph time courtesy of a naturally aspirated, 6.2-liter V8 when equipped with the Z51 performance package’s upgraded suspension and exhaust.
It also will cost less than $60,000, which is way less than European rides with that kind of power. And if you’re thinking about reserving the fastest and most powerful entry-level Stingray of all time, you’d better do so quickly on Chevrolet’s website.
Facebook is still at work on its weird TV streaming device with a built-in camera

There’s no indication that Facebook’s Portal video chat devices have been a hit for the company, but that hasn’t stopped its development of other products. According to The Information, Facebook is continuing to work on a camera that can plug into a TV and double as a video-streaming device a la Roku or Fire TV. Facebook has reportedly approached Netflix, Disney, HBO, and Hulu about potentially including their subscription services on the hardware, which is expected to be announced this fall.
This hybrid device has been reported on in the past (first by Cheddar), but the release time frame and talks with streaming partners are new to The Information’s story. Facebook has already directly confirmed that it intends to release “new form…
