Hi friends! 

Elon Musk's estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson covers Teen Vogue, the dangers of male fitness influencers, and do you need a nemesis? 

On this week's ep we dive into a chat about 2025's cover star of the moment, Elon Musk's estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson. The 20-year-old spoke to Teen Vogue about the “cartoonishly evil” Trump administration and being a young trans woman today. We love. 

Next, are alpha male fitness influencers the new MLM? One morning routine by Christian creator Ashton Hall went viral this week. From waking up at 3:50 am to multiple ice bowl dunks and a faceless woman in servitude, the creepy clip is making us wonder what the new era of male creators is saying about masculinity. 

We reference Netflix's series Adolescence and Matt xiv's tweet. 

Next, there are so many productivity and goal-achieving hacks out there but one writer has suggested it's easy to achieve everything you've ever dreamed of: find a nemesis.

In an opinion essay for the New York Times, writer Rachel Feintzeig asks if finding a nemesis is a #lifehack for being your most productive and goal-achieving self. Is this toxic? Or are we doing what we need to do under capitalism?

In recommendations, Maggie loved discovering Asian youth culture publication RADII. Jas has been audio booking the historic non-fiction read, Thou Savage Women: Female Killers in Early Modern Britain by Blessin Adams. 

Our Melbourne Writers Festival tickets are out now! We're interviewing debut author, Chloe Elisabeth Wilson about her novel Rytual, a cult thriller that examines the beauty industry, girlbossing and modern life. We can't wait!
