A weekly dose of pop culture covering tech, food, fashion, and entertainment. Everything you need to know to be a functional adult.
It was a rollicking week in pop culture, with K-Pop business drama that will put the BTS ARMY alongside BLINKS, a Nike hands-free shoe drop, and an insane week of Wall Street insiders vs a hardy band of Redditors.
I've also got a new Showtime recommendation and a new menu item at Popeye's that's a must-have.
This week includes inauguration fashion (good and bad), your newest Netflix binge reco, a magical AI powered video editor and an evolving Disney kid breakup songwriting battle. Buckle up, it was a busy week!
This week includes a fashion trend and how to not screw it up, a city that’s trying to flex, and a couple of key TikTok trends that are spilling over into the real world.
