The Jobs Report That Wasn’t a Crash, Just a Stall With the Seatbelt Light On
On September 5, 2025, the August jobs report landed like an anemic cough. U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by a mere 22,000, a number so small you could tuck it into a single suburban warehouse and still have space for a pickleball court. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, the highest in nearly four years.…

The EV Jobs Miracle That Ended in Handcuffs
On September 5, 2025, the largest worksite immigration raid in DHS history turned Hyundai’s much-hyped “Metaplant” electric vehicle complex in Ellabell, Georgia, into a live broadcast of American contradiction. About 475 workers were detained—most of them South Korean nationals—during a sweep that hit not just Hyundai’s $12.6 billion EV complex but especially the adjacent Hyundai–LG…

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…

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…

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…

When the Music Stops: America’s Job Market Plays Musical Chairs with No Extra Chairs
On September 3, 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did something rare: it delivered a plot twist. The newest JOLTS report showed that job openings slipped to 7.181 million in July, falling below the roughly 7.2 million unemployed Americans for the first time since April 2021. Translation: there are now more people looking for chairs…

Cash Me Outside the Constitution: How the Presidency Became Trump’s Most Profitable Side Hustle
The polite version says markets respond to policy. The honest version says markets respond to who writes the policy—and whether he’s already holding the bag you’re about to fill. On September 1–2, 2025, the Trump family’s crypto venture World Liberty Financial flicked its neon “OPEN” sign, listing the $WLFI token across major exchanges and conjuring…

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…
