Susie watched the Biggest Loser docuseries, and it just confirms everything we’ve been saying about reality tv for decades, but it leaves the question of whether we should expect more from our “entertainment.” We find out whether twins have “telepathy” or any kind of special biological ability that allows them to understand each other better,…
Susie’s shirt sparked a whole conversation about Ayn Rand, red flag books, Catcher in the Rye, incels, back-to-school hauls, PacSun jeans, the great jeans/genes scandal, and Lauren Sanchez.
