The far more likely explanation is that Qube’s founders are smart enough to realize that conservatives (and anyone else, for that matter) will swarm to a site that allows them to vilify their […]

Dahlia Lithwick on the Kathy Sierra Problem

May 5, 2007

Gist: “What interests me isn’t so much why some people choose to behave like livestock toward women in the blogosphere (answer: because they can), or even what can formally or legally be done to regulate it (answer: not much).

Low Morale

May 4, 2007

Jon Stewart vs. The News Media

May 3, 2007
