IFA 2025: Robot Butlers, Candy Lights, and the Vacuum That Climbed a Stair
The Germans know how to stage a fair. Beer festivals, Christmas markets, auto expos that smell like ambition and diesel. But from September 5–9, 2025, Berlin’s IFA did its best impression of an everything-everywhere-all-at-once TikTok feed, vomiting gadgets at the masses until the only logical reaction was to stand slack-jawed and mutter, “Wait—did that vacuum

Jimmy Kimmel vs. The Delicate, Chubby Little Teacup
On September 2, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel returned from a two-month vacation and delivered a monologue so sharp you could butter your toast with it. He didn’t just dip into politics. He torched the President of the United States with the glee of a man who’d been storing up insults in a Notes app all summer.

Giorgio Armani Dies at 91: Quiet Luxury’s Loud Goodbye
Giorgio Armani died on September 4, 2025, in Milan at the age of 91, closing a half-century reign that reshaped fashion by making power look soft. For most of his career, Armani lived as a contradiction: a designer who whispered while others shouted, a businessman who rejected takeover after takeover while building an empire so

Trump vs. Harvard: When Federal Grants Become Campaign Props
On September 3, 2025, U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs did something rare in modern America: she called bullshit in a ruling and put the federal government back in its constitutional corner. Her decision ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze nearly $2.2 billion in research grants to Harvard, a freeze that was less about academic

Texas Bans the Candy Clouds: SB 2024 and the War on Vapes (But Not Really)
Texas has a gift for declaring victory before the battle even begins. On September 1, 2025, the state flipped the switch on Senate Bill 2024, a law so sweeping, so meticulous in its micromanagement of vapor and smoke, that it reads less like public health policy and more like a paranoid parent’s diary. The law

Knock Knock, Who’s There? America’s Gun Obsession Killing Kids Over Doorbells
On late August 30 in east Houston, 11-year-old Jullian Guzman did what children have done for generations: ring a neighbor’s doorbell and run. It was mischief, not malice. A prank so old it predates TikTok “challenges,” one of those goofy rites of childhood designed to make kids laugh and adults groan. Instead, it got him

Mirror Life: The Science Experiment Nobody Asked For
It takes a special kind of human optimism—or arrogance—to look at the planet, currently reeling from climate collapse, pandemics, and authoritarian cosplay, and say: You know what we need? A second form of life. Not new ecosystems, not sustainable energy, not even better TikTok filters. No. What we really need is “mirror life”—synthetic organisms whose

Apple’s Vision Air: Because What We Really Need Is a Computer Glued to Our Faces
Remember when technology promised freedom? When the dream was sleek portability, intuitive design, and tools that faded into the background so we could live fuller lives? That dream has now become strapping magnesium-plastic ski goggles to our heads and pretending this is “casual wear.” On September 1, 2025, the rumor mill reignited with reports that

The 33,295-Page Transparency Illusion: Congress Dumps Paper, Not Truth, on the Epstein Files
Transparency, we are told, is democracy’s disinfectant. Shine light on the secrets, cleanse the rot, and let citizens bask in the glow of accountability. On September 2, 2025, Chairman James Comer’s GOP-led House Oversight Committee took that adage and set it on fire, dumping 33,295 pages of Jeffrey Epstein–related records into the public sphere. Thirty-three

SNL at 50: The Joke That Outlived the Punchline
When Saturday Night Live premiered in 1975, the country had just watched Nixon resign, Vietnam collapse, and disco rise. The show was a weekly release valve, part sketch comedy, part cultural exorcism. It wasn’t supposed to last—it was literally called “Saturday Night” because NBC needed to plug a hole in the schedule. Five decades later,
