Hot Take:

Well, it turns out the NSA has been hitting the digital thrift shop, casually picking up our web browsing data like it's a second-hand cardigan. No warrant? No problem! They're just adding to their collection of "totally-not-spying" memorabilia. Senator Ron Wyden, on the other hand, ain't having it and is trying to slam the brakes on the intelligence community's shopping spree. Time to update our online status to "Feeling: Monitored."

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
