This week on Bad Bets, we scream into the dystopian void about Nick Blaine’s unjust downfall in The Handmaid’s Tale, ask why Serena Joy keeps getting girlboss redemption arcs, and argue that June and Nick were mirrors, not moral opposites. Plus, we dive into the weird future of emotionally cheating on your wife with ChatGPT and why Sam Fender is the poet laureate of post-avoidant grief.

Our bet this week? Someone’s gonna try to marry their AI girlfriend by next year.
No, really. Mark your calendars.
