Season 2, Episode 37: Privilege is not an accomplishment

Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies. While this week's newsletter focuses heavily on Coachella, Brooke decides to take a more serious tone and talk about the Blue Origin all-female "space" flight that is getting more negative attention than U2's album on your iPhone. This one is a doozy, and while there's lots of humor and all the memes going around, Brooke takes a moment to talk about why this false feminism moment is such a miss. She also talks about Chinese manufacturing TikTok as a reaction to the tariffs, where China is taking matters into its own hands brilliantly. And lastly, let's all make sure we support our favorite "The White Lotus" cast member, Amiee Lou Wood, and protect her from all the teeth bullies. Looking at you, SNL.
