On this soup du jour, we put our MPHs to good use by negging Ozempic users and celebrity anti-vaxxers, watching adult women subTok each other (equivalent of subtweet for TikTok?), advising everyone to stay far away from Marvel's Quantum Flop Era, scorning our local flops for being too basic, and -- excitedly -- introducing a framework to analyze flops so that listeners at home can now call their own flops! *Dora voice* Can you say....flop?!
