Bill Maher: The Liberal Bulwark Who Fell in Love with His Own Contrarianism
Bill Maher: The Liberal Bulwark Who Fell in Love with His Own Contrarianism For a long time, Bill Maher was the voice I wanted in the room. He was brash, unapologetic, smarter than most of his guests, and willing to say the things the polite class of liberal pundits wouldn’t touch. In the Bush years,

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.

Rodeo, Run-ins & Rehab: Lil Nas X’s 6 a.m. “Midnight Remix” in Studio City
Picture it: early morning on Ventura Boulevard, Studio City. The sky is still a bruise. Streetlights flicker like judging eyebrows. A nude man strides down the sidewalk, shoulders thrown back like he just emerged from a Private Jet and Seminoles matchup—and charges at police when they arrive. He’s escorted off in cuffs, hospitalized for suspected

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. Let’s pause on that phrase—heard

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

Cracker Barrel’s $94 Million Makeover: Uncle Herschel, Dumped by Wall Street
There are breakups that shake families. There are divorces that fracture communities. And then there’s Cracker Barrel firing Uncle Herschel from its logo, which—according to Wall Street—destroyed nearly $200 million in value before the breakfast crowd even finished their biscuits.

English-Only Nation: The Trump-Era War on Multilingualism, Now With Federal Endorsement
The Department of Education, in what can only be described as a masterclass in quiet cruelty, has decided that five million English learners across the country are now just a line item too expensive to justify. On August 20, 2025, the department formally rescinded the 2015 “Dear Colleague” guidance—the one that spelled out, in plain
