This month’s headlines are stranger than fiction — and the conspiracy-fueled chaos is only heating up.

The WNBA is under attack — not from critics, but from flying sex toys. Multiple games were interrupted as fans hurled brightly colored dildos onto the court, prompting outrage from players and coaches. A meme-coin group, "Green Dildo Coin," claimed responsibility for some of the stunts, allegedly to promote their launch. Arrests have been made, and the league has promised swift bans and legal action. But behind the absurdity lies a deeper issue — the ongoing disrespect and sexualization of women in sports.

President Trump’s silence over Labor Day sparked a viral death hoax that spiraled out of control. With no major appearances for six days, rumors of his failing health took over social media, amplified by images of swollen ankles and bruised hands. When Trump finally reappeared — smirking at a Fox News reporter’s joke about his “death” — the internet had already run wild. Is this just a case of online hysteria, or is something more being hidden?

Down in Georgia, a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant led to 475 arrests — most of them Korean nationals. The operation is the largest workplace crackdown yet under the current Trump administration, with questions swirling around subcontractors and labor practices.

Also in the mix:

• Boxing shocker: Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is happening — two legends in one unbelievable exhibition match.

• Will Smith accused of using AI-generated crowds in his tour promo — glitchy fingers, warped faces, and the growing fear of deepfakes.

• Florida’s vaccine wars escalate as the Surgeon General calls to eliminate all mandates, sparking national backlash.

• And Epstein survivors take justice into their own hands, vowing to compile their own “client list” and demanding full transparency from Congress.

It’s a wild month — let’s get into it.

In the final chapter of our COVID-19 series, we turn to the questions, controversies, and conspiracies that defined the pandemic long after the first waves passed. If Part One was about origins and Part Two was about lockdowns, Part Three is about what came after—the battle over truth, trust, and who gets to control the narrative.

We explore how theories spread faster than the virus itself. Was COVID-19 born in a Wuhan wet market, or was it the result of a lab leak covered up by governments? Why did so many people believe hospitals were given financial incentives to diagnose patients with COVID? And how did debates over treatments like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine morph into political flashpoints rather than scientific discussions?

We’ll revisit the conspiracies that grabbed headlines: the “Great Reset,” which claimed global elites used the pandemic as a pretext to redesign society; the 5G theory, which linked cell towers to the virus’s spread; the myth of microchipped vaccines; and the belief that lockdowns were less about health and more about social control. Some of these theories dissolved under scrutiny, but others remain unsettled questions that continue to fuel public skepticism today.

And of course, we cannot ignore the human voices that amplified them. Joe Rogan, one of the world’s most influential podcasters, defended his use of ivermectin and confronted mainstream media coverage. Politicians clashed over mandates, sometimes while quietly benefiting from relief programs themselves. Meanwhile, protests erupted from Berlin to Melbourne as citizens pushed back against restrictions, vaccine rules, and what they saw as government overreach.

Beyond the conspiracies, we also ask what’s left in the aftermath. Did the erosion of trust in science and institutions do more lasting damage than the virus itself? How do we reconcile the very real success of vaccines and public health measures with the equally real anger, confusion, and misinformation that spread alongside them?

COVID-19 changed the world, but the stories we told about it—and the doubts we carried—may prove just as lasting. In this finale, we peel back the mask to confront not only the virus, but the fear, politics, and conspiracies that will forever shape how history remembers it.

In Part Two of our pandemic series, we move beyond the early origins of COVID-19 and dive into the extraordinary measures taken across the globe to stop its spread. Almost overnight, entire cities, countries, and continents fell silent. Streets emptied, planes stopped flying, and economies froze as governments imposed restrictions not seen in living memory. What began as a two-week pause stretched into months and, in some cases, years—transforming daily life in ways few could have imagined.

We explore the striking differences in how nations approached the crisis. China enforced some of the strictest lockdowns in history, welding apartment doors shut and tracking citizens with digital health codes. Meanwhile, Italy became the first Western country to shutter completely, with haunting images of military trucks carrying away the dead. In the United States, the approach varied by state: New York and California locked down hard, while others resisted, creating a patchwork of rules that fueled political battles as much as public health debates. Australia sealed itself off from the world, even banning its own citizens from returning home for a time, while Sweden pursued a controversial path of minimal restrictions, betting on herd immunity.

We’ll also look at the ripple effects. Businesses crumbled, unemployment soared, and mental health crises deepened under prolonged isolation. Schools went virtual, changing how a generation of children learned, while hospitals strained under the weight of rising cases.

Join us as we explore the controversial government pandemic playbook during the coronavirus of 2020 and beyond.
