Culture Catch-Up: The Emmys, The Sydney Sweeney Ad, and We Are the Assholes

September 16, 2026·54 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This week's Culture Catch-Up is a big one. We dig into the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and what it means to reflect on it depending on where you grew up, unpack the backlash over the Sydney Sweeney sports betting ad and the "choice feminism" debate, and recap the Emmys (the best and worst looks, iconic moments, and why award shows feel more forgettable every year). Plus: Taylor Swift's new album era and the internet's obsessive theorizing, Celine Dion's comeback, Dancing with the Stars predictions, a discourse-y article about influencers and designer bags, and a full For You Page rundown of everything worth talking about this week. The craziest bag collection on my FYP goes to @nkasuga89. New episodes every Wednesday. Subscribe now to join the group chat. See you between the pages!  Keep up to date!
