In this week's episode, we dive into the latest A.I.-generated art trend sweeping TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram and break down the ethical implications of using these programs that have become increasingly questionable. We then explore the "inevitable" evolution of technology and Silicon Valley's "progress at all costs" attitude.

In this week's episode, we explore the normalisation of conspiracy theories among TikTok users and how the platform's latest features are encouraging this type of thinking. We look at several recent examples where creators have been "cancelled" for seemingly mundane behaviour and look at how users twisted the narrative to suit bizarre conspiracy theories, sometimes greatly impacting the creator's life and business.

In this week’s episode, we bring you a big recap of the Balenciaga ad campaign saga and discuss how this has impacted Kim Kardashian's public reputation as their biggest celebrity ambassador. We then dive into our opinions on The Kardashians season 2 and explore the one major question that everyone’s asking as this season came to a close– why was it so boring? And what does this mean for the future of the Kardashian family as media moguls, celebrities, and business women?

In this week's episode, we break down the TikTok drama between creator Bela Delgado and Julia Fox after Bela made misogynistic comments about Julia. Though Bela is a self-proclaimed feminist, this is the second time he has come after a high-profile woman on TikTok, using derogatory language to take her down and embarrass her. We give you the full breakdown of what happened between Bela and Julia before exploring what misogyny looks like for the TikTok generation, how it is often masked as “performative feminism”, and the valid criticisms against celebrity feminists like EmRata and Julia Fox.

In this week's episode, we dive into the Acne BeanieGate drama on TikTok. We break down the initial drama between @bytrendypep and @zaaachydub over "gatekeeping" an Acne Studios beanie and how it exploded after popular creator Danisha Carter got involved. We look at both sides of the argument and explore why brands, influencers, and audiences are struggling to understand each other on a platform as unique as TikTok.

In this week’s episode, we explore how and why communication on social media platforms has descended into a negative cesspool of hatred that never gives anyone the benefit of the doubt. This week’s discussion was inspired by a tweet that went viral last week by @lilplantmami which caused one of the most intense and collectively unhinged reactions we’ve possibly ever seen online— all because she posted about how she loves having morning coffee in the garden with her husband.

In this week's episode, we dive into the TikTok cease-and-desist saga between former Real Housewives of New York star, Bethenny Frankel, and pop culture commentary creator, Meredith Lynch. After Meredith shared publicly available information on Bethenny's filed trademarks, theorising that Bethenny was possibly using her recent TikTok content reviewing a variety of consumer products as a long-lead marketing strategy for a new endeavour, Bethenny's team sent Meredith a cease-and-desist. We explore the ensuing discussion amongst users about the role of celebrities on TikTok now that the app has democratised fame and influence for "regular people".
