Only Murderers in the Building

I’m back from egg retrieval with medically induced brain fog, and somehow still making more sense than the internet. I’m talking AI doomsday, why canceling Macklemore doesn’t actually help Jews, and why female athletes claiming Sydney Sweeney's ad sets women back are winning the gold at cosplaying as the patriarchy.

Why I’m officially over the Lindsey Clancy trial, remembering the hardcore Gloria Steinem I interviewed, and answering the question The Washington Post asked me: Am I a feminist? Plus, an unfiltered dispatch from the hormonal front lines of egg freezing, because the only box cramming anything into my life is my hazardous-items container.

Reporting live from egg-freezing purgatory, where one minute I’m conquering shots like AOC and the next I’m being consoled by You’ve Got Mail at 2 AM. Speaking of shots: shots fired in the absurd war between tradwives and girlbosses, Ina Garten’s flawless rebuttal to it all, and why women should be allowed to contain multitudes without getting permission from strangers online.

Night one of egg freezing, I planned to channel AOC and handle my hormone shots like a girlboss™. Instead, I’m sleep-deprived and sweating through my spray tan, spiraling over whether everyone else is simply better at pretending. Which brings me to unpack the performance of it all. From political theater to algorithm-approved identities, and why a gloriously messy night of gay karaoke might actually be the last sign of humanity left.

Tonight, I take on the grief grift, $5,000 female “maintenance,” Sofia Franklyn’s New York Times wedding spread, and Kylie Jenner’s big-tit ambitions. Plus, Evan Jackson delivers a Hooters movie update that could have been an email, and I live la vida loca like Ricky Martin before egg-freezing lockdown begins.

I’m hormonal, sleep-deprived, wearing sunglasses indoors, and mourning the last truly original woman. Tonight: what Dolly Parton understood about freedom that today’s algorithm-built clones could never. Plus, Part 2 of my powerful conversation with two 9/11 Pentagon survivors on heroism, humanity, and a generation led wildly astray.

The internet has officially lost the plot, simultaneously turning Luigi Mangione and Lindsay Clancy into martyrs while actual heroes barely make the algorithm. I unpack our deranged murderer-to-messiah pipeline, then sit down with two Pentagon survivors featured in Nat Geo’s "9/11: Reunited" who remind us what real courage and heroes look like.

From influencers reading infomercial scripts to Twitter sleuths inventing a Spider-Man AI scandal, and our culture's "heroes," we're looking at who’s actually influencing the influencers. Plus, If These Walls Could Rock directors for PT 2 on Gene Simmons gone rogue, rock ’n’ roll debauchery (and it's place in the culture wars), and the era before everything needed a label, a brand deal, or an algorithm’s approval.

Tonight I try to make sense of the increasingly braindead and bizarre culture war over egg freezing before host Sonni Abatta joins to talk her viral CNN video, echo chambers, and why having brain cells is now a rebellious act. Then, rock & roll isn’t dead yet: Part 1 with the If These Walls Could Rock doc directors on Hollywood royalty, renegades, misfits, and what happened to the days when rock stars actually acted like rock stars.

Reckoning with: the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, the Candace Owens–Andrew Wilson debate aftermath (with BlackRant), falling headfirst into the trad-wife political wars, entering my AOC-coded egg-freezing era, and the arrive at one universal conclusion.
