Orwell Meets New Trump Reality: 2 + 2 = Whatever the Algorithm Says
Somewhere between your tenth doomscroll of the morning and your third attempt to remember which war we’re supposed to care about this week, PBS quietly aired the most important documentary of the decade — Raoul Peck’s Orwell: 2+2=5 — and almost no one noticed, because there wasn’t a trailer trending on TikTok. It’s a film

JD Vance and George Stephanopoulos: Cut to Commercial The New Language of Transparency
It’s a rare thing to see George Stephanopoulos lose patience. The man has survived a decade of D.C. gaslighting and several hundred Trump surrogates without cracking. But on This Week, the famously unflappable anchor finally snapped. He’d spent five full minutes trying to extract a yes or no answer from Vice President JD Vance about

When the Curtain Falls: Diane Keaton Leaves a World Unworthy of Her Talent
I want to start by acknowledging that writing satire about someone’s death is delicate—especially when the person is beloved, irreplaceable, and has left an indelible mark on our lives. Diane Keaton’s passing on October 11, 2025, at age 79, is real grief; the only ironic jabs I’ll risk are at the world she leaves behind,

Glitter, Glam, and Grand Larceny: The Real Housewives of Insurance Fraud
In what can only be described as a collaboration between Law & Order: SVU and Real Housewives of Potomac, NBC News reports that Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Edward, have been arrested in Maryland for allegedly staging a home burglary to collect a fat insurance payout.

The Sheikhs of Idaho: How We Accidentally Let Qatar Build a “Not-a-Base” Base in the U.S.
There’s a new kind of foreign investment in America—one that comes with F-15s, a ten-year commitment, and a PR team insisting it’s definitely not a base. This week, the Pentagon proudly unveiled plans for a Qatar-funded “training complex” at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which will host Qatari pilots and their U.S.-made fighter

X’s Algorithmic Hunger Games: When Your Feed Becomes a MAGA Mall
If you logged into X on October 9 or 10, 2025, you probably expected the usual feed: a few memes, your cousin’s dog video, maybe one of those cryptic subtweets from someone who still thinks “vaguebooking” works in 280 characters. Instead, what you got was a carnival barker’s megaphone of right-wing political content—accounts you never

Marjorie Taylor Greene Discovers Health Care Costs Money: A MAGA Swan Breaks Formation
If you’ve been wondering what happens when a political creature of pure MAGA instinct suddenly develops a pre-existing condition called “reality,” you need look no further than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent metamorphosis. NBC News reported on October 9, 2025, that Greene—yes, the same woman who once made headlines for chasing David Hogg through Capitol

The Great Halftime Faceplant: Turning Point USA Declares War on Bad Bunny (and Loses Before It Starts)
The Super Bowl halftime show used to be about pyrotechnics, wardrobe malfunctions, and the occasional left shark dancing off-beat. Now it’s a referendum on whether America can tolerate hearing a language other than English for more than three minutes. Welcome to 2026, where Bad Bunny will headline the official NFL halftime show—and Turning Point USA,

When DHS Becomes the PR Department for Trump’s Enforcers: Zach Bryan, “Bad News,” and the Federal Trolling Tour
Country music has always had a rebellious streak—train lines, stolen kisses, dusty roads, heartbreak. But when your protest song provokes the Department of Homeland Security to scrap together a montage of ICE raids and set them to your chorus, you’ve officially crossed from troubadour to target. On October 8, 2025, Axios dropped a story that
