92: Fashion Fallout, Digital Disaster, Weaponized Justice & Flight Fiasco

Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. This week, David and Stu cut through the noise on four stories that have no business being this entertaining.Reboot Culture & the Met Gala Money Machine Devil Wears Prada 2 arrived just in time for Met Gala 2026—because Hollywood would rather mine nostalgia than take a risk. Meryl Streep is back, the cameos are plentiful, and the plot was apparently optional. Meanwhile, the Met itself has become less a celebration of fashion-as-art and more a very expensive costume party underwritten by a vulgar billionaire and his trashy wife. We ask the uncomfortable question: at what point does spectacle replace substance entirely?Maine Towns vs. the AI Data Center Boom. The promise was jobs and progress. What towns like Wiscasset, Maine, are actually getting: skyrocketing energy consumption, strained water supplies, and rising costs—with almost no local employment to show for it. The cloud has a carbon footprint, and some communities are now pushing back hard.The EEOC's DEI Lawsuits: Culture War Theater. With two active wars and a shaky economy, the Trump administration's Justice Department has identified the true threat to America: the New York Times and college DEI programs. The EEOC's "reverse discrimination" cases are legally thin and politically calculated—loud enough to dominate headlines, unlikely to survive serious judicial scrutiny.Newark Airport: A United Jet, a Light Pole, and I-95. A United Airlines plane clipped a light pole on departure, sent debris raining onto I-95, and triggered a chain-reaction highway crash. Stu—a former student pilot who once came dangerously close to landing on a truck—had genuine thoughts. We hope you tune in, and please leave comments.
