Brett Goldstein used his fame to meet-cute Jennifer Lopez

Finally, someone using their fame for GOOD (to meet-cute JLo).

Belle Burden is the memoir-of-the-moment, complete with high-profile media appearances and Gwyneth Paltrow attached to the adaptation. The New Yorker published a story by Jessica Winter that calls some of the storytelling into dispute (the memoir is heavily focused on Burden’s ex-husband leaving her in abrupt financial peril). I appreciate the reporting that goes into these stories, like the New York Times piece on Amy Griffin, because for many of us natural cynics, these memoirs seem very narratively tidy, very good versus evil. It’s the journalists who are doing the tangible work of investigating the stories. And yet again, Oprah was an early adopter of this memoir. Always first on the scene.

Men will literally drop three albums on the same day instead of going to therapy.

Out of all the things a teenager could be looking up, this is actually the best-case scenario.

 Mark Zuckerberg is taking shots at Apple on Joe Rogan (cursed sentence) and he’s always had one-sided beef with them, but I think these particular comments are to distract from Meta laying off thousands of people last week, claiming AI can do their jobs. It’s another AI scare tactic (there’s been a real uptick!); I think it’s because Zuckerberg spent billions on Metaverse and no one wanted to hang out with him, even in a virtual world. Apple sells little computers that go in our pocket; Facebook is where your most brain-dead relatives can post conspiracy theories. The Social Reckoning has wrapped here in Vancouver and I am very much looking forward to Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg.
