When the Curtain Falls: Diane Keaton Leaves a World Unworthy of Her Talent
I want to start by acknowledging that writing satire about someone’s death is delicate—especially when the person is beloved, irreplaceable, and has left an indelible mark on our lives. Diane Keaton’s passing on October 11, 2025, at age 79, is real grief; the only ironic jabs I’ll risk are at the world she leaves behind,

Letters From the Border, Echoes in Rome: Pope Leo XIV vs. Operation Midway Blitz
If you want to know how power really moves in 2025, don’t watch the tank convoys rolling down Chicago boulevards or the ICE jackets fanning out across El Paso school zones. Watch instead the moment when a packet of handwritten letters from parish shelters in Texas and New Mexico lands on the Pope’s desk in

Trump’s Bin Laden Time Machine: A Masterclass in Historical Fan Fiction
The thing about Donald Trump’s storytelling is that it is less history than it is improv theater. He does not so much recall events as audition alternate scripts, testing which version gets the biggest laugh, gasp, or cheer from the crowd. The fact-checkers arrive on cue, scripts in hand, to point out that the timeline

The Reboot Nobody Ordered: Make America Sick Again
It is 2025, and America has managed to drag an old virus out of retirement like a boy band on a nostalgia tour. Not the fun kind of reboot—no slick streaming revival, no “Measles: The Musical.” This is a disease revival, unwanted, unnecessary, and entirely predictable. The CDC’s latest report confirms 1,544 measles cases so

Being Good at Goodbye
The hardest skill I ever learned was not empathy or leadership or writing a book. It was goodbye. Goodbye is the only thing I’ve been allowed to master. It’s the only certificate hanging on the wall. Some people collect diplomas; I collect exits. I don’t mean the cinematic goodbye—the one where a person drives off

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban: The Divorce Heartbreak Tour We Never Wanted
I don’t know who put “Public Divorce” on this year’s marquee, but somehow it cast Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban as its centerpiece act—the tragic stars of a love story we all believed in. Their separation announcement hit like a meteor strike: stunning beauty in motion frozen mid-dance, two icons unraveling in public while fans

Bad Bunny’s Big Bounce to the Super Bowl Stage: The Latin Tsunami America Pretended to See Coming
Late one Sunday night, when millions were stretching out their wings and yelling at referees, the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation dropped a bomb: Bad Bunny—Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, the Puerto Rican icon will take the solo spotlight on February 8,

South Park Season 27 Skewers Trump, Satan, Carr & Noem — It’s Political Satire on Steroids
South Park is back. And this season, it’s swinging harder than ever — not content to linger in the margins, the show has waded into naked deepfakes, Satanic pregnancies, face-melting governors, ICE raids that include dogs, CPC principal rebirths, and a nonstop blitz of Trump-era parody across every frame. If you’re keeping score, here’s your

Trump Cancels Talks, Shutdown Clock Ticks Louder
There are rituals in Washington that feel less like governance and more like reruns of a bad reality show. One of the longest-running is the shutdown dance: leaders promise to meet, promise to negotiate, promise to avert disaster—and then someone flips the table, storms out, and insists the other side ruined dinner. This week, the
