We push back on reading snobbery, unpack why Sprinkles shuttered, weigh the ethics of LinkedIn gender “hacks,” celebrate cake-flip chaos, laugh at bear-fight bravado, and break down the promise and limits of new Wegovy pills. Heart, humor, and practical sense all the way through.

• why joy-led reading builds real habits
• overpriced novelty versus lasting value in food trends
• acquisitions and what scale does to craft
• LinkedIn language, bias, and the trust line
• harmless party fun in the cake flip trend
• optimism bias in “I can beat a bear”
• Wegovy pills, pricing, access, and side effects
• Hollywood body norms and why relatability wins
• upcoming live show details and ways to support
