The Obama Presidential Center Opens, Billionaires Plot the Future, and Drag Race Brings Back the Rappin Roast!

This week, we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago and unpack why the moment felt so different from today's political climate. From celebrity-filled optimism and presidential nostalgia to the strange rehabilitation of George W. Bush's image, we explore how public memory, media narratives, and social media shape the stories we tell ourselves about politics, power, and history.Then things get considerably darker. We dive into leaked details from Peter Thiel's secretive invite-only network of politicians, billionaires, media executives, and tech leaders, discuss Jeff Bezos' latest comments about AI and resource consumption, and ask why so many of the world's most powerful people seem convinced they're building humanity's future while making life worse for everyone else. Plus: reality TV kids speaking out about childhood exploitation, the growing fallout from influencer and celebrity culture, and a full breakdown of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars—including Hershii's breakout performance, Joey Jay's surprising rise, and why this may be the strongest bracket of the season.
