The End Of The World As We Know It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, we’re staring down the end of the world as we know it. Or at least that’s what a former Anthropic employee would have us believe. We get into the global freakout over his AI doomsday warning and, more importantly, the internet’s absolutely unhinged response. Then, a little consumerism to soothe the existential dread. Apple has a foldable phone, the memes are already folding in on themselves, and Gap has somehow dropped the must-have bag of the moment and muscled its way back into the
Dolly, Bungalow 8 & Golf’s Very Bad Week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy Thursday you Pop Culture Junkies! This week, we’re going out with Amy Sacco and Bungalow 8, inspired by Vanity Fair’s fabulous look back at the club that defined an era of New York nightlife. We’re also talking Dolly Parton, her extraordinary cultural impact, and some of the controversy that followed her death. Plus, the Callaway golf scandal and its increasingly messy fallout.

Read excerpt
This week, we are diving straight into the chaos and glamour across our feeds. We kick things off out East with Bethenny Frankel’s Supermodel Cafe pop-up in the Hamptons—and, more importantly, the brutally honest influencer reviews that have taken over TikTok. From there, we pivot to campus culture: the ever-evolving spectacle of Bama Rush and SEC RushTok, alongside the wild rise of professionally designed, ultra-luxe dorm rooms. Then, the generational warfare heats up as Gen Alpha creators ruth
RIP Syd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am officially the last remaining human on Earth who has never seen Rüfüs Du Sol live, and watching everyone's tour footage is testing my spirit. Speaking of wild video, we pivot to the stunning, surreal camera footage captured during the recent earthquake in Colombia that had everyone on social media doing a double-take. We take time to celebrate the incredible life, vibrant legacy, and immense global impact of Syd Towle following her tragic loss, reflecting on the lasting impression she left
