    Bad Bunny’s Big Bounce to the Super Bowl Stage: The Latin Tsunami America Pretended to See Coming

    Late one Sunday night, when millions were stretching out their wings and yelling at referees, the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation dropped a bomb: Bad Bunny—Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, the Puerto Rican icon will take the solo spotlight on February 8,…

    Tribal Theater in Fiji: Survivor 49’s Grand Illusion of Fairness

    The two-hour premiere of Survivor’s latest season dropped us straight into the tropics: Fiji. Sand, sweat, whispered alignments, and the familiar tension that says, “You’re not safe.” But what struck me most was not the immunity challenges or the plundered rice rations — it was the spectacle of alliances forming and betrayal already baked in.…

    Watergate’s Dismal Sequel: Indicting Comey in Broad Daylight

    There was a time when “indicting a former FBI Director” would have been the kind of storyline you read in paperback thrillers at the airport newsstand, usually involving shadowy double agents, a safe house in Prague, and a protagonist who knows too much. Now it’s just Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury has…

    The PlayStation Sideshow: Hardware Hype and Software Smoke

    When a major company stages a 35-minute showcase, it isn’t just announcing products — it is tracing its roadmap, planting flags, and testing the air for life—or at least relevance. Sony’s recent State of Play did exactly that: a carefully spaced mixture of first- and third-party reveals, hardware garnish, and accessory bets. Beneath the glitz…

    United We Scroll: 100 Things We All Secretly Agree On That Democrats Actually Campaign On While Republicans Pretend Don’t Exist

    Every morning, cable news assures us that America is a house divided, a republic hanging by a thread, two tribes locked in a forever war where a neighbor’s yard sign is the moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor. Turn on Fox News and you’ll learn Democrats are Satan’s personal interns. Flip over to MSNBC and Republicans…

    Trump Cancels Talks, Shutdown Clock Ticks Louder

    There are rituals in Washington that feel less like governance and more like reruns of a bad reality show. One of the longest-running is the shutdown dance: leaders promise to meet, promise to negotiate, promise to avert disaster—and then someone flips the table, storms out, and insists the other side ruined dinner. This week, the…

    Trump at the U.N.: When the General Assembly Became a General Farce

    There are speeches you remember because they alter the course of history. There are speeches you remember because they contained a moral appeal so clear that even enemies nodded. And then there are speeches you remember because the escalator broke, the teleprompter glitched, and the President of the United States called climate change “the greatest…

    Review of 107 Days by Kamala Harris

    I listened to Kamala Harris’s new memoir 107 Days on audiobook today, and I can say without hesitation: I loved it. I’ve been a Kamala Harris fan since her days as District Attorney in San Francisco, when her mix of sharp legal instincts and political fearlessness made her one of the most interesting figures in…

    When Separation of Powers Becomes Separation Anxiety

    The Supreme Court has once again reminded us that the Constitution is less a sacred text and more a choose-your-own-adventure paperback where one ending includes civil liberties and the other ends with Donald Trump auditioning for The Apprentice: Federal Agencies Edition. On September 22, 2025, the Court—in a tidy little 6–3 order—handed President Trump what…

    From Fever Dreams to Folate: Trump’s Autism Science Fair at the White House

    If you thought public health messaging couldn’t get stranger than a president telling people to inject bleach, buckle up. On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump stood at a White House autism event, beaming like a game show host unveiling a mystery prize, with none other than Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at…
