THE WALL

If aliens exist, why does every disclosure fantasy act like white America gets to hold the clipboard? *Disclosure Day* works because Spielberg knows awe, fear, and government secrecy. But the mythology underneath is goofy as hell: aliens cross the universe, ignore whales, elephants, coral, Indigenous knowledge, and every other form of life, just to brief the Pentagon and Topher from West Virginia.

The usual suspects are in a tizzy over Lupita Nyong’o playing Helen of Troy as predicted (chimppin' out even), defending a version of “historical accuracy” they got from marble statues who's color has l

"43 Songs reveals something bigger than rap beef: the loneliness, resentment, and arrested development being sold to young men as depth." by Ken Oswald "__yak" Vann, Jr. Saturday 16 May 2026 Drake doesn’t sound heartbroken. He sounds offended that the world kept moving after he left the group chat. The spectacle is huge. The person inside it looks smaller than ever. I can't really speak to whether the albums are “good” in the normal review sense as much as what they reveal ab
