America’s New Job Fair: Now Hiring Deportation Apprenticeships
The Trump administration has always treated immigration enforcement less like policy and more like a casting call. But now the casting call has become a crash program: 10,000 new ICE officers and 3,000 CBP agents by year’s end. Funded by a $170.7 billion “One Big Beautiful Bill,” the program is less about public safety and

The VMAs Tried on Broadcast TV and Accidentally Staged a Pop Census
The MTV Video Music Awards are not an award show so much as an annual group therapy session where pop culture confronts its contradictions under a disco ball. For decades, it was a cable-era ritual: eyeliner, explosions, maybe a snake or two. But on September 7, 2025, the VMAs tried on broadcast television for the

The Cult of the Supporter and Why I Don’t Give a Damn About Trump
Let me say it again for the people in the cheap seats: I don’t give a damn about Donald Trump. Not a single molecule of my being is interested in his daily diet of McNuggets, the awkward orange glow of his tanning bed addiction, or the bizarre way he insists on pronouncing “China” like he’s

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

Love Isn’t a Rose Ceremony—It’s Tuesday at 2 A.M. Accept This Apple, my reimagining of Snow White, is available now.
Read Accept This Apple and explore my Amazon author page. The Faeries Tell series has one unruly mission: keep the shine, fix the wiring, and invite everyone who’s been standing just off-camera to step into the light. Each book reimagines a “problematic” fairy tale through trauma-literate realism, queerness without spectacle, and modern logistics—because real magic

When Right Eats Right: Newsmax, Fox, and the Great Conservative Antitrust Cage Match
On September 3, 2025, Newsmax decided that if you can’t beat Fox in ratings, you might as well sue them for antitrust violations. The conservative underdog filed a scorched-earth complaint in the Southern District of Florida, accusing Fox Corp. and Fox News of monopolizing the right-leaning TV news market for years. The laundry list of

The Relic of Reboots: Sophie Turner and the Eternal Tomb Raider Economy
On September 3, 2025, Amazon MGM Studios confirmed what had already been whispered across every fan forum and Variety sidebar: Sophie Turner will strap on the dual pistols of Lara Croft for a new live-action Tomb Raider series on Prime Video. Created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge—who will co-showrun with Chad Hodge, with Jonathan Van

From Chicago to the Crescent City: Trump’s Traveling Law-and-Order Roadshow
On September 3, 2025, President Trump announced that New Orleans—yes, the city of brass bands, beignets, and waterlines nobody can forget—was next on his federal “law-and-order” tour. Fresh off threatening Chicago with “National Guard domination” and still basking in the glow of his unprecedented takeover of Washington, D.C.’s police force, Trump pivoted south, declaring that

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

In Defense of the Binge: Why Autoplay Is the New Therapy
On August 29, 2025, researchers at the University of Georgia committed the academic equivalent of saying the quiet part out loud: binge-watching might actually be good for you. Their peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Psychologica, didn’t just poke at the pop culture habit everyone denies and everyone does—it blessed it, like a priest sprinkling holy
