how complicated the situation in Syria is. The country's six year-long civil war opened up space for ISIS to wiggle its way in and set up shop. The US and its ally

Turkey - which shares a border with Syria - are both fighting the terror group. To help do that, they've been giving local Syrian forces an assist with things like tanks, airstrikes, and weapons. In recent months, the US also started

an ethnic group spread out across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. In Turkey, they've long been fighting the Turkish government to carve out their own independent state, but Turkey's never been down with that. So when the US decided to arm the Kurds in Syria, the US-Turkey relationship took a turn for the worse. These latest incidents - which the US military says happened during routine patrols - aren't helping. Now, the US is telling Turkey to get their forces to cut it out so everyone can get back to focusing on the fight against ISIS.

took down Gawker. Now, he's found something new to focus on: herpes. Thiel has reportedly funded a human trial for a herpes vaccine in the Caribbean. Americans with herpes and some extra time off were flown to St. Kitts for a shot of the med in order to get around FDA rules, which have strict safety standards for human trials. Thiel says these regulations are holding back important medical research and development. Critics say 'maybe,' but that it might not be the best idea to run herpes experiments on people. It's still unclear how those trials went.

Justice Department investigation found that Chicago officers have not been properly trained, often use excessive force, and the dept. doesn't have solid processes to hold officers accountable.

THING TO KNOW

JOMO

The opposite of FOMO. This is the 'joy of missing out.' It's wishing you could skip out on dinner plans, only to have your friend cancel an hour before. JOMO...all the way back to bed.
