Cardi B v. The Courtroom: When Justice Goes Viral
By the summer of 2025, America had already transformed nearly every human institution into content. Elections are Twitch streams. Presidential debates are meme generators.

The Ten Commandments of Horror TV: A Bloody, Bingeable Bible
The history of horror television is a cemetery of failed pilots and half-rotted seasons, a graveyard where shows are buried alive by executives only to claw their way out later as streaming “discoveries.” For every cult resurrection, there are dozens of forgotten corpses—remember Harper’s Island?

SNL at 51: Reinventing Reinvention Until It’s Just a Costume Change
Here’s the thing about Saturday Night Live: it is always dying and always about to be reborn. That’s the premise, the pitch, the myth. Every time someone leaves, the show is declared finished; every time someone arrives, it’s hailed as reborn. By now, SNL has spent 50 years on its deathbed and 50 years being

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

When Billionaires Sue: Elon Musk’s Antitrust Opera Against Apple and OpenAI
On August 25, 2025, Elon Musk decided to stop subtweeting Apple and OpenAI long enough to do what billionaires do when they’re bored: sue somebody. This time, his companies xAI and X Corp. filed a federal antitrust case in Texas, alleging that Apple and OpenAI formed a duopoly designed to suffocate competitors—namely Grok, Musk’s chatty,

Puff, Puff, Postal: USPS Declares War on Your Vape Pen
In mid-August 2025, while the rest of America was debating whether Barbie deserved an Oscar nomination, the United States Postal Service quietly declared war on flavored fog.

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. One of her most recent posts featured a cheerful video monologue about homemade bread that “smells like

On August 22, 2025, scientists revealed the debut of the year’s most unexpected fashion icon: a sail-backed iguanodontian dinosaur from the Isle of Wight, Istiorachis macarthurae. Discovered in rocks from the Early Cretaceous and strutting out of the Wessex Formation at a mere 125 million years old, this plant-eating beast arrived on the scene with
