Cameras watch our cars. Phones track our locations. Modern vehicles collect driving data. Doorbell cameras record neighborhoods. Facial-recognition systems can identify faces. Businesses know what we buy, websites know what we search, and increasingly sophisticated systems can connect pieces of our lives that once existed separately.

A chance conversation at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., introduced Tim to a phrase he had never heard before: “Republican gay.”
The college-age women using it represented a mix of political beliefs—including one democratic socialist—and at least one connected the phrase to personal experience involving an ex-boyfriend. Days later, the Log Cabin Republicans announced that the nation’s o...
On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy killed her three children inside the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Former White House medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci returned to Capitol Hill for one of the most anticipated congressional hearings since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Automated license plate reader cameras are appearing in neighborhoods, shopping centers, and intersections across America at an astonishing pace.

In this episode of Th...
