- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk - But very demure, mind you.
- Don't forget to subscribe at the $10 tier at our Patreon to get this year's physical gift, the M Word Cloud T-shirt! Sign up by September 6th.
- Listener Mariann sends some encouraging feedback to another listener we spoke to in After Dark last week, and reveals a heartwarming connection to Laura.
- Trump has finally agreed to the September 10th ABC debate with Kamala Harris (mainly because he kinda has to).
- Google has been found to have an illegal monopoly on search functionality as the result of a case filed by the Trump administration.Is regulating Big Tech the one thing that can bridge the ideological divide?
- According to this ruling, one of the many ways Google has cornered the market on search is by paying Apple $20 billion yearly to be the default search engine on iPhones.
- Could this ruling lead to a breakup of Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company?
- Is the government equipped to keep up with regulating quickly evolving technology?
- Speaking of tech, Andrew has a bone to pick with people who complain about Elon, but continue to maintain their Twitter platforms.
- Is Twitter muscle memory when trying to get quick reactions out there? Why won't Laura just succumb to Threads?!
- Speaking of Elon, he isn't the only high-profile person who continues to double down on terrible takes: JK Rowling made headlines during the Olympics for spreading misinfo about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif's gender identity. Subsequently, both JK and Elon were named in a cyberbullying lawsuit Khelif filed in France.
- Where do we draw the line with personally cancelling famous people and platforms?
- We've got only the best recommendations lined up for y'all, as always: Amazon Prime's 'I Am: Celine DIon,' which follows Celine's battle with stiff person syndrome (Andrew), Laura and Pam's D23 recap and reaction on What The Hype?! (Laura), and the Halo Bolt for all your portable car jump starter and power banking needs (Pam).
And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:
- Inspired by TikTok user bran_flakezz, we ask ourselves: "what is a friendship lesson that you've had to learn the hard way as an adult?"
- What really resonates with our panel? People who gossip to you are also probably gossiping ABOUT you!
- We share our own lessons learned, along with anecdotes about the times when we've either had to let friendships go, or reset our expectations and boundaries with them.
