    Trump’s Chicago Dream: Send in the Troops, Forget the Math

    When Billionaires Sue: Elon Musk’s Antitrust Opera Against Apple and OpenAI

    Britney Spears Instagram Spiral: Is She Trolling or Unraveling?

    Britney Spears’ Instagram these days reads like a parallel universe where “2007 energy” got stuck in a blender with existential dread, threw in a pinch of cottage-core cooking tutorials, and hissed “I’ll show you crazy” until it submitted. One of her most recent posts featured a cheerful video monologue about homemade bread that “smells like
