Jim Acosta Interviews AI-Generated Shooting Victim, and Journalism Finally Eats Its Own Soul
here’s a point at which “innovative” stops meaning forward-thinking and starts meaning we ran out of shame. We are well past that point.

Chief of War: Jason Momoa Turns Hawaiian History Into a Streaming Bloodsport (and We’re All Standing to Clap)
You should watch Chief of War. Not just because critics love it. Not just because Jason Momoa is impossible to look away from. Not just because it’s history that will make you rethink every lazy travel brochure you’ve ever seen for Hawaii. You should watch it because it’s a rare act of mainstream television doing…

Supreme Court Flirts with “Roe Treatment” for Gay Marriage — America Holds Its Breath and Its Vows
Rights rarely vanish in a thunderclap. They dissolve in a drizzle of exceptions, carve-outs, and “reasonable accommodations” that turn the bold promise of equality into something conditional. Marriage equality is not under attack because it has failed — it’s under attack because it has succeeded, because it proved that queer love could be ordinary, visible,…

Breadlines With Ballistics: On Aid, Optics, and the Math of Looking Away
There’s a certain kind of silence that only exists in a crowd waiting for food. It’s not quiet—nothing about hunger is quiet—but it has an agreed-upon hush, a choreography of patience. Bodies stand still because moving burns calories you don’t have. Eyes scan for motion because motion means a truck, a crate, a whisper that

Mickey Mouse Buys the World: A Love Letter to Disney’s Hostile Embrace
Some people collect stamps. Some people collect vinyl. Disney? They collect entire cultural ecosystems, slot them into a vault, slap a mouse-shaped watermark on the front, and charge you $14.99 a month to visit your own memories. When the history of modern capitalism is written, there will be a whole chapter titled The Seven Deadly

Jesus Chicken Does Autumn: Chick-fil-A’s New Fall Menu Drops Like a Leaf in a Storm of Selective Morality
Chick-fil-A, America’s favorite drive-thru confessional booth, has decided it’s time for sweater weather, PSL selfies, and the annual reminder that even God’s chosen poultry can rebrand when the leaves turn. This fall, they’ve unleashed a lineup so quaintly autumnal you’d almost forget their corporate tithe ledger still smells faintly of sanctified bigotry.

The Smart City Illusion: Where Your Trash Can Knows More About You Than Your Therapist
Let’s begin with a simple question: when did we decide that cities needed to be “smart”? Was there a moment—perhaps around 2015—when an exhausted urban planner looked at a pothole, a packed bus, and a man peeing into a parking meter and thought, If only this place had WiFi and LED lighting, everything would be

Gen Z Lives at Home Because They’re Smart, Not Lazy—And Also Because Rent Is a Crime Now
Let’s all take a deep breath and thank Generation Z. No, not for their TikTok dances or the fact that they somehow revived low-rise jeans, but for refusing to play the rigged Monopoly game we keep handing them and asking, “Why don’t you just buy Boardwalk?” They’re not buying Boardwalk. They’re moving back into Marvin

Kamala Harris Declines to Govern: California Weeps, 2028 Holds Its Breath
In a week already saturated with bloated indictments, poorly aged tweets, and men with microphones saying “I miss when politics was normal,” Kamala Harris made the most powerful move in modern politics: saying no. She will not run for governor of California. Not because she can’t. Not because she’s lost the thread. But because she’s
