On September 9, 2025 at 10 a.m. PT, Apple will once again transform its glass spaceship into a megachurch of consumer longing, inviting the faithful to witness what it calls the “Awe-dropping” keynote.

Hate Speech, Incorporated: How Social Media Turned Bigotry Into a Business Model
By 2025, it is no longer controversial to say that social media has become a sewer. What’s controversial is admitting that it was designed this way.

The CDC Purge: When Science Got Fired by Press Release
In the latest American remake of Night of the Long Knives, the White House traded soldiers for scientists and staged the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez like it was an HR issue instead of a constitutional one.

Chicago Doesn’t Need an Occupation, but Trump Wants a Backdrop

“Law and Order” or Martial Theater? Trump’s Crime Emergency in D.C.
On August 11, 2025, Donald J. Trump declared a “crime emergency” in Washington, D.C., and like every pageant he has ever hosted, it was less about substance than spectacle.

The Trans Violence Myth vs. The White Conservative Mass Shooter Reality
Let’s begin with the facts, because apparently we’re still living in the age where half-truths dressed up in ideological glitter can spread faster than the grief of parents who lost children in a church. On August 27, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Central Daylight Time, a 23-year-old named Robin Westman opened fire through the stained-glass windows

Trump’s Chicago Dream: Send in the Troops, Forget the Math
The problem with promising to “crack down on crime” is that crime refuses to follow your campaign calendar. It does not politely spike in the zip codes you need for next week’s rally. It rarely consults your polling numbers before deciding whether to trend upward or downward. Yet here comes Donald Trump, fresh off his

Siri’s Existential Crisis: Should Apple Buy Its Brain from Google?
On August 22, 2025, Mashable (via Bloomberg) confirmed what iPhone users have suspected since the first time Siri replied “I didn’t quite get that” to a basic request: Apple still doesn’t know what Siri should be.

On August 22, 2025, MacRumors published a guide that basically confirmed what anyone who has ever yelled “HEY SIRI” into a pillow already suspected: Apple’s voice assistant is being completely gutted.
