A Drynuary Diary: The Frothy Aftermath
John Ore: Oh, Jolie! I just had the strangest dream! And you were there and everyone here and...Kurt Loder?...And I remember that some of it wasn't very nice... but most of it was beautiful. But just the same, all I kept saying to everybody was, I want to go home. And they sent me home. READ MORE
In Russia, Elections Monitor You
"A Moscow court on Friday ruled that the country’s sole independent election watchdog had broken Russian law by publishing citizens’ complaints about campaign abuses during the run-up to this weekend’s parliamentary elections." READ MORE
Amazon's Warehouse of Sadness and Horribleness
Have you read the story about the Amazon warehouse outside Allentown? You should! It's not... good. In short, Amazon largely staffs that warehouse with temporary workers through an agency, dangling the prospect of being promoted to full-time employee. Then it parks ambulances outside for when they pass out from heat exhaustion. Then, when they don't make quota, what with all the passing out, they're often dismissed. (Yes, to be fair, some are promoted, and some do fine.) Hold on to your Kindles! READ MORE

Today's Groupon: Helping People with HIV for Half Off
Today's New York City Groupon offering is a 50% discount at Housing Works' nonprofit thrift stores, which raise money to assist people living with HIV. For $20, you can receive $40 worth of things! Oh, just FYI: "A pair of designer shoes that sells for $40 in one of our stores provides ten days worth of hot meals for a homeless HIV+ mother and her child." Enjoy your discount. :(
"The Top 10 Most Beautiful Women Executed in China"
I really call the methodology of this list into question. I'm sure there were plenty of beautiful women executed in China that just weren't photographed well! When will we give these other executed women appropriate credit for their astonishing good looks? (Related: "NSFW: When Does The Portrayal Of Young Girls Become Too Sexualized?" Well, one thought: perhaps when it's put in a highly clickable slideshow.)

NYC Cops Not Rapists, Says Jury
Well, the most terrible story in the world has reached its conclusion by verdict. "The jury convicted both officers of official misconduct for entering the woman’s apartment, but found them not guilty of all other charges, including burglary and falsifying business records." So.... that's that. (Although the civil case will proceed.) READ MORE
Supreme Court: Suck It, Fourth Amendment!
Back in January, we wrote about Kentucky v. King, when, during the arguments, we got to have Justice Scalia tell us that one important tool of policing was that criminals were stupid. Well, the joke's on us! Eight to one, the Supreme Court agrees (decision here [PDF]) that if the police "hear something" that sounds like evidence being destroyed, because they come a-knocking, they can break down your door. This is one of those special days when liberals and libertarians come together in horror! Hold us closer, Justice Ginsburg, lone dissenter!
Ladies Aged 20 to Mid-30s Apparently Deliver the News Best
Don't think I've ever seen a job posting for a female video host w/ an age limit. Wonder if they'd do same for a male. http://bit.ly/i2eqOG
But this job posting for a "tech-oriented magazine show" is, you see, on the web, ladies. On the Internet, no one wants to see your old faces.
