The exchange of information about someone who is absent. Drake’s dick. Alliances. Social bonding through talking smack. Men vs. women. Are people’s lives boring or fascinating? The water cooler. Venting about bad bosses. Shrugging off rumours. Positive gossip. Privacy as a retro phenomenon. Fighting as entertainment. Are rate your date sites ethical? Figuring out who you can trust. Taking things you hear lightly. Nosy neighbours. The torture of small talk. The value of chill people. Judging other people. The workplace as gossip ground zero. Social media gossip. The art of pretending to listen when you don’t care. Police people. Fucking with what people think. Digital media literacy. Is minding your own business selfish? Creeping on Twitter. Is being out of touch with popular culture a bad or good thing? The hot goss of 2024. Carmen can’t stop bringing up Drake’s dick. Do balls float in the bath?
