Oh my goodness, I can totally relate to being tuned out of the broader pop culture discourse, Michelle. It used to be that I learned about TikTok trends via Instagram Reels, then I learned about them when they made it to Substack, and now that I have pared WAY down what I'm reading, it takes even longer! I appreciate discourse about media, but only in very small doses. I told my closest people to watch Materialists immediately, and then be VERY gentle with me if they hated it ;-)
