    The Disappearing Act of Green Arrow: James Gunn’s DCU and the Case of the Missing Archer

    If you squint hard enough, you can almost see him: the man in green tights, a quiver full of metaphorical arrows, lurking somewhere in the dusty backlog of Warner Bros. IP rights. But according to James Gunn—the self-appointed town crier of the DC Universe—Green Arrow isn’t so much missing in action as he is missing

    Buzzing Back: Oregon’s Sanctuary Sting to the DOJ’s Drone Strike

    Ladies and gentlemen, grab your headphones: we’re about to listen to the sweetest harmony in a dystopian symphony—the sound of a governor giving the finger to federal pressure without ever raising her middle digit.

    Pratt, Policies, and Polite Pretense: A Star in Defense Mode

    Hollywood’s favorite dude-next-door, Chris Pratt, recently found himself in a moral minefield.

    Pompoms, Politics, and the Fragile Masculinity of the 50-Yard Line: On the NFL’s Male Cheerleader Panic

    It’s 2025, and the NFL has finally decided that maybe, just maybe, a man in sequins yelling “Defense!” won’t unravel the fabric of Western civilization.

    The Comedy Coup: South Park, Trump, and the Paramount Problem

    America has always needed its court jesters. Kings and presidents come and go, ruling with pomp, paranoia, and paranoia dressed up as policy. But the jester—the clown with a knife behind the punchline—never leaves. In 2025, that jester wears a Colorado beanie, carries a construction paper sign, and is contractually obligated to Paramount+ for $1.5

    When the Crime Rate Falls, Call in the Troops

    Washington, D.C. is enjoying its lowest violent crime levels in over thirty years. The data says so: a 35% drop in 2024, another 26% decline so far in 2025. Homicide is down. Robbery is down.
