Like many Millennial and Gen Z women, I recently binged season 2 of Nobody Wants This. I loved season 1. It was sharp, witty, thoughtful, and showed flawed people genuinely trying their best to navigate life, love, and even personal growth. In a world of bloated cinematic universes, comic book adaptations, and space wars, I

You know how you combat AI content slop? With your humanity. And, I hate to tell you, but that means getting vulnerable. (Stay with me here…) You don’t have to spill your guts or reveal your deepest secrets publicly. And telling the truth about your humanity doesn’t mean you have to be a raging dick,

Picture a house. From the outside, it looks perfectly normal. Cheery, even! A fresh coat of paint makes it feel welcoming. It stands strong and sturdy, surrounded by a well-tended garden, with warm light spilling from its windows. You pass it every day, and every day it looks the same. Everything is orderly. Nothing seems

A nation doesn’t lose its ambition overnight. It happens when we stop funding the work that carries it forward. On June 25, NASA leadership confirmed in a Town Hall what had already started to circulate: that the agency’s FY2026 budget is facing a 24% cut, with the Science Mission Directorate alone reduced by nearly half,

This week marked the 10th anniversary of Hamilton’s Broadway debut. To celebrate, the original cast reunited and lit up the Tonys with an electric medley of songs. If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favor and fix that. I’ll wait. (I’ve already watched it five times. Don’t judge me, or do.) Earlier this

The kind where every app, every ad, every new device, new platform, and algorithm is built to tell you that you are the main story. You’ve seen this in action. You like one video about clean eating,

Studios are struggling. Box office numbers are down. Audiences are harder to reach, harder to move, and harder to bring back into theaters. The reasons are layered: ticket prices, pandemic-era behavior shifts, shorter attention spans, and audiences who are overwhelmed with new media options. They’re more selective, more skeptical—and more sensitive to misalignment between a

A few years ago I was road tripping with my dog through the desert, heading west from Los Angeles to Texas. To pass the time, I popped on an audiobook: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. If you’ve ever traveled along this particular stretch of I-40 from SoCal into Arizona into New Mexico, you’ll understand me

Open your favorite news app or scroll any social media platform and you’ll find messages of uncertainty, instability, overwhelm, anger, and despair. And for me, one question has been looming quite large: “How do we move forward with hope?” I was listening to a recent episode of the Pivot podcast with Kara Swisher and Scott

This would be Gloria’s speech: It is literally impossible to be a job seeker. You have to be open to work, but not obvious with a green banner that you are open to work. You can’t outright say you are looking for a job, you have to say you are ready to move on to
