MONDAY ANALYSIS:  Writer Lindy West has let us into the world of her modern marriage. It made us wonder…do we all know far too much about each other’s relationships? And knowing how cruel the internet can be, why do so many writers continue to mine their personal lives for their work?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: A dry cleaning AYINOSI! And then, you’ve probably seen the video of McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski trying their new burger – it was cringe, to say the least, because, well…. he didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about eating it.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: After the tragic deaths of actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, GoFundMe pages were established to ‘support the families,’ and the donations started rolling in. It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equals being rich? This episode of Sha...

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: Are you in need of some intrigue? And then, a big ol’ deep dive into Labradoodles because everyone on the internet is shading them atm – even the creator of the Labradoodle himself.
