Movies & TV

• Yee-haw, things are absolutely unhinged on the Dutton Ranch. Episode 7 just dropped, featuring a sudden murder, a potentially fatal injury, and a whole lot of bar brawls. Who needs family therapy when you just have literal "den of sin" energy?
• The Emmys comedy field should be very, very scared. Apple TV+'s Widow’s Bay is making major noise, with Matthew Rhys and breakout star Kate O’Flynn delivering performances that are ready to sweep the awards circuit.

TikTok & Internet

• The algorithm is doing the absolute most (and not in a good way). Creators are complaining that they finally go viral, but TikTok completely stops recommending their accounts and ruins their views. You truly cannot win!
• People over 40 are dropping life advice on TikTok, and it's actually incredibly wholesome. "We are never too old to do anything" is the exact energy we are taking into the weekend.
