Economic inequality in America has reached staggering levels. Union membership has reached all time lows. What is the future of labor in America? Let's discuss it right now, with author and labor expert Stanley Aronowitz.

Finishing up a routine stop of a driver who didn't have his headlights on, an Ankeny, Iowa, police officer suddenly realized who he'd just pulled over. One of them. Yes, a disc golfer. That's okay, though: Officer Aaron knew the job could be dangerous when he took it, and he was ready to get serious.

Each year, New York City's public advocate compiles a list of the worst landlords in the five boroughs. Topping the 2014 rouges gallery is Robin Shimoff, a slumlord living in a $1.2 million mansion in Rockland County.

Scientists are developing a yogurt with special molecules that can be used to screen for colorectal cancer. I know what they should call it: Chobani, because that yogurt already tastes like poop/ butts.

Saturday Night Live brought back one of its strongest recent alums, Bill Hader, this weekend, and while the show got a great Stefon update out of the deal, it didn't take full advantage of Hader's hosting gig. This quite solid Gossipy Coal Miner sketch was reportedly cut for time, but it might have been because Hader was about to crack up through the whole thing.

It's Thanksgiving in Canada today. In Brooklyn, the proper way to observe the holiday is to picket a local artisanal poutine establishment.

Last Week Tonight was on a break Sunday, but John Oliver couldn't stay silent about the artificial flavor that saturates America every autumn. He threw this rant about pumpkin spice (disclaimer: contains no actual pumpkin) up on YouTube over the weekend.

Hyperconnected pontificator Thomas Friedman's column this weekend was one long extended metaphor purporting to explain the threatening nature of the Islamic State. Like The Da Vinci Code, his theory has a hidden, stupid secret.

"'You just don't hear about Gawker as much,' the founder of the trade site mediabistro.com, Laurel Touby, said. 'The buzz is not as high as it used to be. I was forced to read it before. Now, not so much.'" Today is the ten-year anniversary of Gawker jumping the shark.

Two toddlers were injured, one critically, after the bounce house they were playing in was picked up by a gust of wind and sent flying through the air before crashing back down to the ground. One father told reporters he was informed by a volunteer at Sullivan's Farm in Nashua, NH that the structure was open and free to play on; farm officials say the bounce was being dried from a cleaning and wasn't tied down.

Police say an elderly California woman who went missing for four years was conned by a team of grifters who stole her money and abandoned her in a squalid shack in Maine.

The show 7th Heaven is nowhere to be found on TV in the wake of actor Stephen Collins' tape recorded molestation confessions—meaning the rest of the cast will probably never see another residual check again.

Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher's traumatic brain injuries—sustained during a skiing accident last year—were caused by a helmet-mounted GoPro camera, a French journalist in contact with the family said this week.

A Scottish woman thought her nosebleeds were caused by a motorbike accident. She was horrifyingly wrong.

A Washington man faces 14 charges, ranging from kidnapping to burglary to theft of a firearm, after allegedly going on a weeklong, acid-inspired crime spree. According to court documents obtained by Vocativ, 23-year-old George Jacobson terrorized residents of Roy, Wa. from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3, breaking into houses, stealing guns and demanding victims give him everything from clothes to a ride home.

Brian Robinson, 49-year-old subway pickup artist, spoke to the New York Post in a piece that ran today, titled "Meet the man who has met 'about 500' women on the subway," about his triumphs and failures "since becoming a railway Romeo in 1999." The besuited roué boasts winning dates with "about 500 women" in New York City's underground transit system, and, holy shit, he sounds like a nightmare.

Since the beginning of October, residents of Wasco, Calif. have been calling police to report sightings of a strange (undoubtedly murderous) circus clown, Bakersfield's KGET-TV reports. Appearing only at night, the clown has been spotted carrying a variety of fun props, including mallets, balloons and—that most classic of novelties—an axe.
