Girlboss Is Back And This Time She's Selling You AI
The girlboss era promised that if women just worked hard enough, leaned in hard enough, optimized hard enough, equality was within reach. It wasn't. And now, a decade later, the same voices are back with the same urgency and the same "you'll be left behind" framing. The product this time? AI. Bridget sits down with Samantha and Anney from Stuff Mom Never Told You to talk about why Sheryl Sandberg, Reese Witherspoon, Mel Robbins, and the original girlboss herself Sophia Amoruso are all suddenly very invested in getting women onto AI platforms and why the women who aren't rushing to adopt it might actually be the ones paying closest attention. Let us know what you think by emailing hello@tangoti.com or leaving a comment on Spotify. Bridget's forthcoming audiobook with Simon & Schuster, Love At First Prompt, explores AI, sex, and intimate relationships.

Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New roundup every Friday. 🎧 Here's what we covered this week: Elon Musk is losing his mind over Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy because he cannot imagine Black beauty. Brittany Wong has excellent analysis for HuffPo: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-lupita-nyongo-in-the-odyssey_l_6a0ca9fde4b0ceb40d47cc6a Meta has been removing accounts of LGBTQ+ organizations and individuals for seemingly capricious reasons. A coalition of Dutch LGBTQ+ and digital rights advocates is taking legal action. The excellent resource Repro Uncensored reports: https://www.reprouncensored.org/research-overview/meta-legal-action Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies are pooling resources to track and surveil "anti-tech extremists," which includes people and organizations who oppose data centers at county board meetings. Daniel Boguslaw reports for Wired: https://www.wired.com/story/us-law-enforcement-warns-of-anti-tech-extremism/ A new study of resumes found that women were judged more harshly than men for using AI. The author has not made details of the study publicly available, but it was summarized in Fortune Magazine by Eleanor Pringle: https://fortune.com/2026/05/10/identical-resume-ai-men-women-response-trust-ability/ The resume study seems similar to this seminal research paper by Steinpreis and colleagues, which was properly published in 1999 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/advance/269/ Software engineering is being transformed by AI at incredible speed, and that is a big challenge for mothers taking parental leave. Wired's Joel Khalili writes: https://www.wired.com/story/women-parental-leave-return-office-ai/ PALETTE CLEANSER!

eBay CEO Devin Wenig Orchestrated a Criminal Stalking Campaign and Walked Away With $57 Million
This is the 2nd episode of a 2-part series about a case where security goons from eBay travelled across the country to stalk and harass a husband-wife journalist duo. If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, you probably should. We published it on May 19, 2026. For over two decades, the pair have been publishing EcommerceBytes, a respected trade publication for eBay sellers. But in 2019, someone started harassing them. It began with a spray painted fence, then quickly escalated to death threats and fetal pigs and a mysterious van outside their house. Eventually, they discovered that eBay's own security team was behind it all, with the campaign put into motion by then-CEO Devin Wenig. This bizarre and frightening story is a cautionary tale about the rise of private armies. It starts in San Francisco, takes us to the small community of Natick, Massachusetts, and ultimately takes TANGOTI listeners right back to Madison Square Garden. Buckle up.

Mark Zuckerberg's AI Era Has a Woman Problem. It Always Did.
In 2026, Meta is racing into AI with all gas and no brakes — and it's giving us serious déjà vu. We invited Samantha and Anney from Stuff Mom Never Told You to revisit The Social Network and examine what the film got right, what it glossed over, and how its treatment of women tells you everything you need to know about tech culture then and now. Plus: the reported sequel centered on Frances Haugen's findings inside Facebook, and why that story might be the one that actually matters.

Jeff Bezos Met Gala; Sarah Paulson Protest Look; OpenAI Stalking Lawsuit; My Handbook App's Fake AI Black Woman Scam - NEWS ROUNDUP
There Are No Girls on the Internet is a weekly podcast hosted by Bridget Todd covering tech, power, and the people who get left out of both. Every week we find the stories about technology and the internet that deserve more attention — especially when they're about gender, race, and who actually gets harmed when things go wrong online. This is what we do every week. If you like what you see here, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts — and follow Bridget on Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | Bluesky Here's everything we covered this week with links to the original reporting: 🔗 This week's big culture story was about money, labor, and who gets to claim the spotlight. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez spent at least $10 million to sponsor the Met Gala — and on the same night, Amazon workers staged their own fashion show outside. Labor unions dubbed it the "Ball Without Billionaires," with SEIU President April Verrett declaring: "Labor is art." Democracy Now coverage here. 🔗 Also at the Met Gala: Sarah Paulson wore a dollar bill mask and called her look "The One Percent." Some called it out of touch. 🔗 This week's AI scam story involves a fake Black woman and a book app. A book app called My Handbook used AI-generated images of a Black woman to falsely claim legitimacy — including a fake story about working at Random House. When people pushed back, they posted another AI video doubling down. More on how it unraveled here. And the original post that started it all. 🔗 AI bias in education is getting worse — and we're moving faster than the research. A Stanford study found AI writing feedback tools treat students differently based on race, gender, and disability status. Black students got more praise. White students got more substantive feedback. And we're pushing this into classrooms faster than we can verify it works. Nature just retracted a major paper claiming ChatGPT improved student learning — turns out it was built on junk science. 🔗 Online harassment against women is getting worse — and AI is making it easier. When Cambridge academic Dr. Ally Louks went viral for her PhD in 2024, right-wing accounts on X dogpiled her with rape threats and death threats serious enough that she went to the police — and Vox documented exactly how X became the platform where this kind of coordinated harassment against women thrives. Since Musk took over, it's only gotten worse. Now someone is paying large accounts to use her face and story to advertise a fetish marketplace — and the platforms won't do anything about it. 🔗 A new UN Women report connects the dots on why this keeps happening. The report found that online violence against women in public life is coordinated, systemic, worsened by the rise of AI, and it's working. The platforms' algorithms make misogynistic hostility frictionless and rewarding — and 45% of female journalists now self-censor because of it. 🔗 This week's most alarming AI story involves a stalking victim, a sycophantic chatbot, and a company that ignored three warnings. A woman is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly validated a man's delusions, helped him stalk her, and OpenAI restored his account even after she filed a formal abuse report. OpenAI's own safety systems flagged his account. A human reviewer gave it back. 🔗 And finally, a s
