Inexperienced and improperly vetted, the candidate was a disaster in the making. Ad Policy Graham Platner speaks at an event in June 2026 in Blue Hill, Maine.(CJ Gunther / Getty Images) Anthony Weiner must be gnashing his teeth. Al Franken too. Weiner lost his political career for sexting while married (he went to jail for sexting with a 15-year-old girl, but that came later). Franken fake-groped a sleeping woman as a joke, and was then credibly accused of groping numerous women for real. Away with him! But that was before Democratic dude-bros decided the party was dominated by “HR lady…

Fans hoping to see Douglas Adams’ beloved sci-fi comedy return to the screen will have to keep waiting. After years without any meaningful updates, Hulu’s planned television adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has officially been confirmed as dead, bringing an end to a project that once generated plenty of excitement among longtime fans. The series was first announced in 2019 with Carlton Cuse (Lost, Jack Ryan) and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman, It) attached as creators and executive producers. At the time, Hulu envisioned a modern television adaptation of Adams’ iconic science fiction franchise, which began as a…

The budget of the American Department of Defense is eternally bloated. Like a ballooned whale carcass that is fed on by a frenzy of contractors, corporations, and ever-growing military operations, the DOD is the heart of a financial ecosystem that spans the globe. With nearly a trillion dollars allocated annually to its function, it’s a bit of a shock that the Trump administration is claiming the so-called “Department of War” is about to run out of cash.  According to sources who spoke to NBC News, the Pentagon is warning lawmakers that it could soon run out of cash on hand…

Palm Beach International Airport became President Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday, but while the signage may change, the official airport code will not for another month. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in March to officially change the airport name in honor of President Trump, and the Federal Aviation Administration issued guidance that the name will change on July 9. However, the three letter airport code that passengers most often see — which is currently PBI —  will not change to DJT until Aug. 18. That means that for 40 days, the FAA locational identifier and the International Civil Aviation…

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 20 seconds ago As a lifelong fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the weirdest thing about Picard was its insistence that the former Enterprise captain and his android subordinate, Data, were just the best of friends. In TNG, Data’s best friend was Geordi LaForge; Picard was somebody he played with on the holodeck when nobody else wanted to watch him play VR Shakespeare. Nonetheless, Picard presented its titular character as best buddies with his former synthetic homie. Maybe Jean-Luc just had dementia; after all, this is the same show where he’s suddenly cool with…
