My Favorite TV Shows of 2025, Ranked by Vibes, Emotional Damage, and How Fast I Hit “Next Episode”
No particular order, because ranking art is how streaming apps turn joy into spreadsheets. Every year, television looks at America’s collective attention span, flicks it on the forehead, and says, “Come here, I made you something complicated.” In 2025, it felt like the medium finally admitted what we all already know, most of us are

The Game Awards 2025 and the Night One Game Ate the Stage
Eight trophies, one gravitational center, and an industry that briefly convinced itself this was destiny rather than appetite.

Kristi Noem Shows Up to Oversight With a Script and Leaves With More Questions
The administration calls it law enforcement, critics call it a rights grinder, and Congress tries to remember it has a job besides yelling. The House Homeland Security Committee hauled DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in for an oversight hearing and the whole thing played out like a courtroom drama performed by people who hate courts. Noem

South Carolina’s Measles Outbreak Proves RFK Jr. and Trump Freedom Includes Airborne Particles
A holiday travel season, a church-centered cluster, and a virus that does not care about your Facebook degree in “doing your own research.” In the Upstate of South Carolina, public health officials are doing the thing we always swear we want government to do, quietly, competently, with clipboards and contact tracing and the slow dread

U.S. Navy Goes Tanker Shopping and Calls It Sanctions Enforcement
One part maritime choke point, one part reality show, and one part global oil market swallowing hard.

A rare intraparty “no” lands in the middle of the national gerrymander arms race, and suddenly everyone is pretending they just love local control again. Indiana’s Statehouse spent this week acting like a polite Midwestern family hosting a reunion while a brawl happens behind the deviled eggs. The fight was over House Bill 1032, a

FEMA 2.0: The Ultimate Subscription Service for Survival (Basic Tier Only)
Because nothing says “efficient government” like firing half the lifeguards while the pool is on fire.

The Hunt for Red October, But Stupid: How a Lying Tanker Became the Star of the Trump’s New Action Franchise
The scene was practically storyboarded for a campaign ad before the first rotor blade chopped the Caribbean air. It had the granular, high-definition aesthetic of a Michael Bay movie that went straight to streaming, complete with the requisite color grading that makes the ocean look dangerously teal and the American military hardware look like the
