Spotify is creepy. Although you can listen to nearly anything your heart desires, you have to go to some effort to opt out of letting other people know what you’re listening to — and, really, no one needs to know that you just listened to “Call Me Maybe” five times in a row. Or maybe they do. In fact, one wonders if that’s not kind of the business model. But, Spotify’s public pronouncements about people’s…

I’ve had a lot of insults hurled at me over my many years of writing on the Internet: in addition to the standard ones that women get related to our perceived attractiveness and concomitant perceived intellect or lack thereof, I’ve been called an Obamabot, a Romney shill, a secret Ron…

In 2011, the New York Police Department stopped and frisked 700,000 people in a city of 8.2 million — that’s about 8.6 percent of the population, if you’re a numbers person — and 87 percent of those people who were stopped were African-American or Latino. About 45 percent of New…

This time, it’s not a metaphor. From the aptly-named Billy House of the National Journal: This splash came from an exploding urinal.

The Vatican recently issued a strong condemnation of American nuns for what it deemed their “radical feminist” leanings, such as caring for the sick, dying, condemned and poor Americans despite dwindling numbers of American Catholics (it’s so bad they are running television ads, if you managed to miss it) and…

‘Compassionate’ conservatism: When it’s more important to jail innocents than let one guilty person go

By Megan Carpentier
Monday, May 21, 2012 16:26 EDT
