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. On August 19, 2025, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that reads like the quiet

Pregnant Robots & Patriarchy: China’s Pregnancy Bot and the Future We Didn’t Choose
Imagine a world where babies aren’t born from mothers but delivered by robots—in a literal tin womb. Welcome to 2026, Chinese-style, where scientists at Kaiwa Technology promise to debut the world’s first humanoid “pregnancy robot,” complete with an artificial womb embedded in its abdomen. It’s billed as a technological marvel for struggling parents—but if that

When Democracy Gets a Make-over: Trump’s Executive Order to Cancel Voting
At long last, the White House has announced a new wellness initiative: an executive order banning mail‑in and electronic voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. Why? Because our hero (in designer suits) says elections are haunted by “massive fraud”—without evidence, but with extra flourish. He’s calling it the “MAIL‑IN BALLOT HOAX” and wants us back

Trump, Putin, and the Great Peace That Isn’t
There’s a reason dictators love photo ops. Nothing says “progress” like two men at a podium refusing to answer questions while the world burns just outside the frame. The Aug. 15 Alaska summit was billed as historic. Spoiler: it wasn’t. There was no ceasefire, no agreement, no breakthrough. Just Trump beaming like a middle schooler

Florida’s Book Ban Just Banned Fahrenheit 451—Meet the Literary Irony Police
Censorship never starts with flags and alarms. It begins with scare stories, moral panic, and a public so hungry for control that they let the system eat the books one cover-sized bite at a time. Florida’s “parental rights” show was never about rights. It was about rewriting history by force. Thankfully, in Orlando, the script…

The American Dream Was Always an HOA Scam
The American Dream was never a promise; it was a performance. A stage set that looked believable until the lights flickered and the backstage was exposed—cheap plywood, unpaid labor, and a cast list missing half the country. MAGA wants to dim the lights again, to sell the illusion one more time. But illusions don’t pay…

When Big Brother Hires a Hall Monitor: FCC’s ‘Bias Monitor’ and the Death of Media Independence
The beauty—and the danger—of the First Amendment is that it protects the press even when the press is bad at its job. Even when it’s biased, sloppy, arrogant, or out of touch. Especially then. Because the alternative is a press that is only allowed to be “good” according to the standards of the people in…

Redefining Gender, One Eraser at a Time
The danger isn’t just this one policy. It’s the normalization of using administrative power to erase marginalized identities from legal recognition. Once that’s accepted, it can be applied anywhere — and to anyone. Today it’s trans students. Tomorrow it could be any group that makes those in power uncomfortable. The only qualification for being targeted…

MAGA-fying the Museum: How to Curate History Without the History
Maybe one day, years from now, there will be an exhibit about this moment. It will feature press releases about “aggressive reviews,” news clippings about political interference, and maybe — if the curators are feeling bold — a case labeled “Democracy, in Decline.” Visitors will walk past it on their way to the dinosaur hall,…
