Lmao at the Dazed article, I read that yesterday and it’s so insane that the whole article covering a VERY fraught subject was reduced to something so shallow…. I feel like there needs to be better journalistic coverage of cosmetic surgery that focuses on people whose livelihoods are not directly linked to their appearance? Maybe it’s too much to ask…

Completely agree. I saw the headline and I was so excited but then it gave me nothing 🥲

Ugh zuckerberg’s goal is to be the “mouthpiece of the millennial generation” and unfortunately for him it’s gonna take more than some inauthentic styling to make me forget he’s a misogynistic loser

Thank you so much for the conversation, Ochuko! The brand x AI conversation is such a rich and nuanced one right now, worth paying careful attention to. Killer newsletter as always.

Urgh that's so crass of Naomi. But also you should read Margo's Got... it's SO GOOD!

Ordered it yesterday. It’ll take me ages to get to it though 😅. And yeah Naomi gives me all the wrong vibes

So interesting to see the rises of Sabrina v Chappell. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. The Naomi story is definitely a case of disappointing but not surprised.

I'm not really a sports person but I've really been enjoying Frankie de la Cretaz's substack, Out of Your League!

Going to check the substack out thanks for the rec. I feel like sports is the one bit of American culture that still goes over my head tbh

I'm here for all the women sports coverage! It's so awesome to see. Now I'd love to see Coach Jackie J from TikTok launch a podcast!

I’m relieved Michelle Pfeiffer will be playing Shyanne in the Margo movie. I cannot realistically imagine Nicole Kidman in that role.

I haven’t even read the book but now I’ll be picturing these characters when I read which is fun

just discovered your stack through zoya and love what you're doing! You've got a new loyal subscriber.

Back to why I originally started to comment:

"I believe AI will become so ubiquitous that explicitly mentioning it will feel unnecessary in a few years. It'll be integrated into everything, like "digital" or "smart" are now. The successful AI brands of the future will likely focus on user empowerment and ethical considerations rather than just touting the technology."

I've been spending time talking about this publicly lately on X, Substack and LinkedIn and I am so happy to see others sharing this sentiment. Most tech bros did not get the "vision" lol

Glad to have you here! Looking forward to seeing you write about this. Just subscribed. I’m still trying to figure out my stance on AI tbh for what it’s worth. I’m excited but anxious 😬

It's so unpredictable, time will tell!

Okay, I’m MAD because this just popped up out of nowhere today on my top feed (in the app) but isn’t in my email or in my inbox in the app. So glad I get to read it now!!! ❤️‍🔥
