Cracks in the Skye: Boeing, Whistleblowers, and the Art of Selective Visibility
It’s comforting to know that in an era of war crimes livestreamed and billionaires cosplaying as messiahs, there’s still a place for the classics: corporate negligence, government complicity, and a plane held together with vibes. Enter Boeing, the Willy Wonka of aviation. Except instead of chocolate rivers, we get panel blowouts at 16,000 feet, and

Coldplay, Cheating, and Capitalism: The Astronomer Scandal Was Written in the Stars
Let’s set the scene: Gillette Stadium. The lights are low. The band is Coldplay—because of course it is. “A Sky Full of Stars” crescendos like the emotional climax of a mid-2000s rom-com.

Kindle Unlimited: The Best Way to Binge Books (and Not Go Broke)
For a limited time, Kindle Unlimited is free for the first three months.

That’s right—Disneyland Resort is celebrating its 70th Anniversary, proving that with enough corporate synergy, artificial joy, and nostalgia-steeped branding, even a theme park can become a religion.

File this under: If I Did It: Executive Branch Edition.

Colbert’s Exit Strategy: CBS Cancels ‘The Late Show’ (But Totally for Financial Reasons, Of Course)
CBS has announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end after its next season in May 2026, citing—what else?—“financial considerations.” The network didn’t elaborate much, but rest assured, it has absolutely nothing to do with Colbert’s recent on-air jabs at CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global, for quietly settling a $16 million lawsuit with

Something Tender Survives Is Not a Love Story—It’s A Survival Story
Why I Wrote Something Tender SurvivesBuy it here When I first sat down to write Something Tender Survives, I didn’t know if I was building a novel or just trying to exhale. I’d written about trauma before—memoirs where I peeled back the skin of my past, bled truth onto the page, and called it healing.
