Trump, Putin, and the Great Peace That Isn’t
There’s a reason dictators love photo ops. Nothing says “progress” like two men at a podium refusing to answer questions while the world burns just outside the frame. The Aug. 15 Alaska summit was billed as historic. Spoiler: it wasn’t. There was no ceasefire, no agreement, no breakthrough. Just Trump beaming like a middle schooler

The Gospel According to Hemlines: My Love Affair with Project Runway
They can reboot it. They can move it between networks like a foster child. They can shuffle judges until only Nina Garcia remains, sipping her martini of silent judgment. And still, I will watch. Because when the lights go up, the music kicks in, and some poor designer mutters “please don’t fall apart” as their…

“Next Time in Moscow” – The Odd Couple Show Hits the Road
The American dream used to be about freedom, democracy, and self-determination. Now it’s about whether two aging strongmen can cosplay geopolitics while the real war grinds on. If there was ever proof that the circus has replaced the Senate, it’s this summit. The world doesn’t need another season of Despot Idol. What it needs is…

mRNA, MAHA, and MAGA: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Grand Experiment in Disappointing Everyone at Once
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn’t just mishandle a policy rollout—he detonated a week-long political chain reaction that left every camp feeling betrayed. MAGA thinks he’s a fraud. MAHA thinks he’s a sellout. The White House thinks he’s a liability. And in the rarest twist of all, they’re all right.

Taylor Swift’s Glitter Bomb: When Pop Rollouts Become Mini-Civilizational Events
This is not just an album. It’s an immersive artifact, a test in how much primetime art we want to live in. The life of a showgirl isn’t just sparkles—it’s strategy. It’s mapping meaning onto every costume, camera angle, track title. It’s willingness to make pop feel momentous again, but burdened with layers of consumption…

War of the Worlds (2025): When Aliens Invade… and So Does Amazon
So here we are. A film with the audacity to modernize a classic through PowerPoint-esque visuals, a nihilistic ad for Amazon and Big Tech, and an existential commentary drowned in product placement. One critic called it “a disastrous movie retelling of H.G. Wells’ classic.” Others accused it of being “shameless tech propaganda.” Even Ice Cube’s…

The Day the WNBA Got a New Sponsor: Batteries Not Included
There are certain moments in sports history that get replayed for decades. Michael Jordan’s flu game. Brandi Chastain’s penalty kick. The time a sex toy took center court at a WNBA game. Yes, you read that correctly. Somewhere between the jump ball and the final buzzer, an adult novelty item decided it was time for

Jim Acosta Interviews AI-Generated Shooting Victim, and Journalism Finally Eats Its Own Soul
here’s a point at which “innovative” stops meaning forward-thinking and starts meaning we ran out of shame. We are well past that point. Journalism’s job is to speak to the living, hold the powerful accountable, and honor the dead with accuracy and dignity. This? This is puppeteering the dead for clicks, calling it progress, and…

The Art of the Strategic Amnesia: Trump’s Epstein Damage Control Summit
Washington has seen its share of “nothing to see here” moments, but this week’s gathering in the West Wing might be the new gold standard. Picture it: Vice President J.D. Vance, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and loyalist-turned-FBI-director Kash Patel huddled together under the genteel glow of White House sconces, plotting a strategy to
