There was something I didn’t want to talk about until after the season was over. Now that it is, I have to ask: What the actual hell is wrong with some of these people? The Knicks just won the NBA Championship for the first time in over 50 years. This should have been a momentContinue reading “The Knicks Won the Championship. So Why Are People Rioting?”

Elon Musk Becoming the First Trillionaire: A Milestone or a Warning Sign?
As of June 2026, Elon Musk has reportedly become the world’s first trillionaire. For some, this is a testament to innovation, entrepreneurship, and the power of building successful companies.

AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.
I said it before. I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about. I said that the AI bans were coming, and I said that they were notContinue reading “AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.”
The World Cup Is Starting Soon. I’m Staying Home.
The World Cup starts in just a few days, and honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. There have been concerns and discussions about disease outbreaks in some countries participating in the tournament. On top of that, this year’s World Cup is being hosted across major cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, meaningContinue reading “The World Cup Is Starting Soon. I’m Staying Home.”
Stop Treating AI Like It’s Only a “User Problem”
There’s a growing pattern in how people talk about AI, and it feels familiar in a frustrating way. Whenever something goes wrong—misinformation, bad outputs, misuse, unethical content—the conversation quickly shifts toward individual users. As if the core issue is just people using the tool incorrectly, and if everyone “used it responsibly,” the problem would basicallyContinue reading “Stop Treating AI Like It’s Only a “User Problem””
Why I Believe MAGA Will Eventually Turn on ICE
One prediction I have about American politics is that eventually a significant portion of the MAGA movement is going to turn on ICE. Not all of them, of course. Political movements are rarely unanimous about anything. But I think there will come a moment when many of the same people who today defend ICE, praiseContinue reading “Why I Believe MAGA Will Eventually Turn on ICE”
Accountability Should Not Be Selective: Why I Believe James Comey Should Face Consequences
There are moments in politics when your principles are tested not by your enemies, but by the people you are more inclined to agree with. This is one of those moments for me. I identify as progressive. I have been openly critical of Donald Trump and much of what he represents politically. I disagree withContinue reading “Accountability Should Not Be Selective: Why I Believe James Comey Should Face Consequences”
If the Iran War Continues Into the World Cup, Calls for a Boycott Will Grow
As of 4/27/26, there is a question that many people may soon be forced to confront: what happens if the Iran war is still ongoing two months from now when the FIFA World Cup is scheduled to begin in the United States? Because if the host nation is actively engaged in military conflict against oneContinue reading “If the Iran War Continues Into the World Cup, Calls for a Boycott Will Grow”
Iraq Joining the Iran War Means America Is Repeating the Same Old Disaster Cycle
As of 4/27/26, reports that Iraq is now being pulled into the Iran war should set off alarms everywhere. Because if this conflict expands through Iraqi territory, militias, bases, or direct confrontation, then we are staring at something many Americans never wanted to see again: Iraq War 2.0. And the political irony is staggering. DuringContinue reading “Iraq Joining the Iran War Means America Is Repeating the Same Old Disaster Cycle”
We Cannot Call for Violence. Even Now. Especially Now.
Last night, shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. President Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents. Vice President JD Vance and members of the Cabinet were evacuated. A law enforcement officer was struck, saved only by his bulletproof vest. A suspect, identified as Cole Tomas Allen,Continue reading “We Cannot Call for Violence. Even Now. Especially Now.”
