When Billionaires Sue: Elon Musk’s Antitrust Opera Against Apple and OpenAI
On August 25, 2025, Elon Musk decided to stop subtweeting Apple and OpenAI long enough to do what billionaires do when they’re bored: sue somebody.

Prosecuting the Flame: Trump’s Executive Order on Flag Burning
On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a document so melodramatically titled it could double as a Netflix limited series: “Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag.” The executive order doesn’t criminalize flag burning outright—because the Supreme Court told America to chill about that back in 1989. But it does something more Trumpian: it takes

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.

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn: Waiting by the Bat-Signal That Never Rings
Margot Robbie, the actress who turned Harley Quinn from a cartoon sidekick into a pop-culture juggernaut with pigtails, sequins, and a Brooklyn drawl sharp enough to slice drywall, admitted on August 22 that she has “heard nothing” from DC Studios about reprising the role in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe.

Whitewashing the Gallery: Trump’s Smithsonian Revisionism
On August 22, 2025, The Guardian ran Francine Prose’s surgical essay on President Trump’s newest culture-war bonfire: Smithsonian museums, and specifically his complaint that they focus “too much on how bad slavery was.” Imagine saying that in 2025, after four centuries of systemic exploitation, while standing on a marble floor your ancestors never had to

On August 21, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse packing. Kruse, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), was dismissed following a leaked preliminary assessment of June U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities—which estimated those strikes set Iran’s program back only a few months.
