When Your AI Won’t Pledge Allegiance
Someday, there might be a museum exhibit about this: The Chatbot That Knew Too Much. And if the MAGA museum curators get their hands on it, the placard will read: “An early example of AI misinformation, quickly corrected by patriotic engineers.” The rest of us will know it for what it was: the only thing…

Chief of War: Jason Momoa Turns Hawaiian History Into a Streaming Bloodsport (and We’re All Standing to Clap)
You should watch Chief of War. Not just because critics love it. Not just because Jason Momoa is impossible to look away from. Not just because it’s history that will make you rethink every lazy travel brochure you’ve ever seen for Hawaii. You should watch it because it’s a rare act of mainstream television doing…

When You Tell Me Restaurants Are Under Threat, I Say: “No Sh*t, They Literally Are”
Restaurants are collapsing like dominoes in a windstorm, but apparently CNN still felt the need to headline it: “Restaurants Are Under Threat as Costs Skyrocket and Consumers Cut Back.” If you read that and thought, Oh, really? Food costs are eating the industry alive, who could’ve guessed?—you’re both correct and complicit in the slowdown of

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Chapter 29 of Cinderfella: Glass Slipper Half-Full That I’m Very Proud Of
Glass Slippers, Half-Full and Holding If you’ve been here long enough, you know I don’t birth a chapter into the world unless it’s been through at least one rewrite, one panic spiral, and one “maybe I’ll just fake my own death instead” moment.

When Numbers Lie and the Economy is “Perfect” (According to the Man Who Invented Truth)
It’s another day in America, and the President has once again reminded us that numbers are not to be trusted. Not his numbers, of course—those are gold-plated, patriotic, and possibly blessed by the ghost of Reagan—but other people’s numbers. Specifically, the ones from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that dared to suggest inflation is rising

Mayhem’s Leading Lady: Gaga (Again) Sweeps the VMAs with 12 Noms
Lady Gaga didn’t just walk into the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards—she airlifted herself in on a chrome disco ball, shredded the red carpet with diamond-tread platform boots, and took the lead with a record-breaking twelve nominations.

Chikungunya: Because the World Looked at 2025 and Said “Not Weird Enough Yet”

Bootylicious but Make It Denim: Beyoncé Reinvents the Levi’s Ad and Possibly Capitalism
Somewhere between a biblical soft launch and a Y2K fever dream, Beyoncé has risen again—this time not in a sequined bodysuit or Renaissance tour disco horse, but in a pair of Levi’s. And not just any Levi’s, mind you. Beyoncé doesn’t “just” wear jeans. She manifests them. She anoints them. She places her cosmic behind
