Patty Jenkins Explains Why Wonder Woman Didn’t Have a Post-Credits Scene

Thanks to Marvel, superhero movies and post-credit scenes basically go hand in hand. Recently, Marvel has really played with that expectation, going super excessive with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and including a knowing wink in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

FBI Severely Underreported How Many Times It Authorized Informants to Break the Law [Updated]

This year, the FBI appears to have for the first time overlooked a reporting obligation established by the US Attorney General’s office, and in doing so, the bureau appears to have greatly lowballed the total number of times it authorized confidential informants to engage in criminal activity last year.
