- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and our TENTH YEAR of real talk!
- What could have possibly happened in the two weeks we were off air? The panel recounts, and pays special tribute to the dearly departed creator of avocado toast.
- We have to kick off 2024 with another round of ‘New Year, New Laws.’ What progress (or regress) will our union see this year?
- Laura might have ruined indoor vaping for Pat by scaring Andrew with some info from the American Heart Association. Sorry Pat!!
- Illinois and California are taking steps to combat censorship and discrimination, while North Carolina and Montana are trying to stop teenagers from accessing porn. Pornhub says “good luck with that!”
- Nevada has given Laura another reason to prioritize a trip to see Andrew in 2024.
- Will Georgia’s state income tax reductions come at the expense of higher costs elsewhere?
- More than 20 states will raise minimum wages for workers which is great and all, but people are still battling inflation!
- The Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse has entered the public domain, so get ready for creators to leverage this iconic version of the Mouse.
- New laws from abroad: England and Wales’ ban on XL Bully breed, NZ makes a far-right pivot, and more!
- Start the new year right: Watch ‘Leave the World Behind’ on Netflix (Laura), ‘The Artful Dodger’ on Hulu (Pam), and use Waze when driving for the police alerts (Andrew).
And in this week’s installment of After Dark:
- Is Mr. Brightside by The Killers the anthem of the millennial generation?
- The millennial experience we love sing shouting about in bars: desperately wanting something we can’t have.
- We age ourselves by reflecting on other possible millennial anthems, many of which are 20+ years old!
