I took the initial bait and started with a roast of myself that promised to be vulgar.Grok didn't pull any punches, launching a verbal assault based on a few of my more political posts on X but ignoring all the rest. Still, what…

Elon Musk’s snarky, anti-woke chatbot, Grok, started rolling out to X Premium Plus users on Thursday.

Grand Theft Auto VI won’t be released until 2025, much to the dismay of gamers intent on revisiting Vice City. But that hasn’t stopped a handful of observers from attempting to astroturf a transphobic outrage over the gender identity of the main character, Lucia. It’s a clumsy campaign to place yet another brand at the center of a culture war that has previously stoked scorn for the likes of Bud Light, Target, Hershey’s, and Nike. Because it’s been a decade since GTA V, and studio Rockstar Games has sought to…

If you are a conservative consumer in America right now, shopping is getting weird. You’re not supposed to drink Bud Light or shop at Target or eat at Chick-fil-A or watch Fox News. It’s Pride month, meaning all the companies have gone gay again, despite you trying to make clear that you’d really rather they not. Maybe you’ve signed up for alerts to start getting warnings about allegedly “woke” businesses, and the list of brands there is getting long — Nike, Adidas, Speedo, Lululemon, the LA Dodgers. The alerts also…

To the editor: When I tell people here in Richmond, Va., that I moved from Los Angeles, the response is universal bewilderment: Why would anyone voluntarily leave the City of Angels, a land of sunny beaches? I have to agree with columnist George Skelton: Whether it’s primarily taxes or not, it’s money.It’s not just the price of housing. It’s the price of utilities, transportation and entertainment. Politicians fail at fixing the problems of overcrowded jails, poorly functioning schools, mentally ill people left to the…

On March 19, Donald Trump Jr. sent an email via the firm that manages his father’s email list, Campaign Nucleus, announcing “a HUGE advance in the culture war.” That culture war, Trump wrote, is “coming to corporate America.” He added that conservatives have a “new” tool to fight back against “woke” workplaces: the “free to work” job board RedBalloon.
