The President Is Currently Serving Up Several Flavors of Batshit on Twitter
 
And thus begins another day where we as a nation throw up our hands in the face of overwhelming evidence that the president is completely insane. Sure, the Secretary of Energy—the man in charge of safeguarding the United States nuclear arsenal—got conned by a Boomer-bait Instagram scam. (Folks, your post on a social media platform is not some sort of binding contract with the company running that platform just because you say so. You signed your life away long ago when you agreed to the terms of service.) But the real action is on the Tweet Machine, where the big man himself is going absolutely intergalactic about...everything. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Inside the Twisted, Worldwide Hunt for a $7 Million Stolen Car
 
Joe Ford is sitting at the Pelican Landing, an outdoor restaurant in a fancy marina on the Intracoastal Waterway. Across the way is a 180-foot yacht, the name abbracci painted across the stern. Joe's cell phone rings. Wah-wah-waaahhh. The theme music from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Joe's ringtone. "Hold on," he says. "It's the FBI." Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The First Bombshell Trailer Shows a Tense-As-Hell Look at the Fox News Scandals
 
Sometimes, words aren't even necessary. The first trailer for Bombshell dropped on Wednesday, and with just three words and a little over one minute of trailer, the Roger Ailes and Fox News-centric movie said everything it needed to say—hot in here. The film will star Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman as Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, respectively. Margot Robbie rounds out the lead cast as Kayla Pospisil, a fictional associate producer created for the film. Though the trailer offers little more than the three women occupying the same (tense) elevator as (equally tense) music plays in the background, it's clear what the film is getting at.

Trump's Greenland Thing Isn't Funny Anymore
 
Recently, while reading Noah Feldman's lucid study, The Three Lives of James Madison, I happened to be going through the long section regarding how Madison, as Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of State, was involved in swindling Napoleon out of the Louisiana Territory. (Fact I Did Not Know: vital to Napoleon's decision to sell us half-a-continent was the fact that he lost most of an army in Haiti to yellow fever, which also kept Haiti free. Yay, mosquitoes!) They were just trying to buy what was then called Florida, the entire strip of land including the coasts of what are now Alabama and Mississippi as well as the Florida panhandle (West Florida), as well as the peninsula (East Florida.)

What's Really Going On With Spider-Man's Supposed Exit From the MCU
 
Thanos may be a pile of dust, but The Avengers still aren't safe from a massive extinction threat. Instead of a big purple dude, this existential risk comes in the form of studio heads waving billion dollar wads of cash over Tom Holland's widely-beloved version of Spider-Man.
