• Headline of the Day, from ABC News: “Google Co-Founder Says People Shouldn’t Have to Work So Much.” (Because, robots.)

• From Glenn Greenwald and Murtaza Hussein at First Look, a 2005 FBI document instructing spy-trainees how to format internal memos that includes a placeholder name for the subject of surveillance, “Mohammed Raghead.” (The authors are doing a Reddit AMA this morning, as we publish this post.)

• An update to a previous blog post about a walkout by the Village Voice union—workers and management have reached a deal on a new contract, avoiding a strike.

• Today in Billionaires: Dr. Dre.
