- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and nothing but love for Taylor Swift, Haitian migrants, and geese.
- Is your calendar the secret to fostering deeper friendships? The NYTimes (and Andrew) think so!
- It seems simple enough – a standing coffee date, joining a sports league or a book club. But why do so many of us struggle to make these commitments?
- We discuss some ways to make planning an event with a large group easier, like using a scheduling app for availability, instagram polls in DMs, or just making plans and inviting anyone who wants to come rather than trying to cater to a bunch of scheduling needs.
- If so many of us are lonely, why do we struggle so much to make friend dates happen?
- Laura has a Bumble BFF update for us, and a reminder that we should all be conscious of not wasting others’ time!
- Apparently for certain Gen Z’ers, 9/11 has become a popular internet meme. WHY?
- People have been processing traumatic events with dark humor since the beginning of time, but why are these memes crossing a line?
- We chat about how weird it is that people just a few years younger than us don’t remember 9/11 – and it’s probably why it’s easier for some to be desensitized to it.
- Do the annual memorials and replaying of the same footage over and over play a part in desensitizing us to the horrors of that day?
- Read. the. room.
- We’ve got some solid recommendations for y’all this week: Frank Turner’s latest album ‘Undefeated’ (Laura), SpotHero (Pam), and Zero app (Andrew).
And in this week’s installment of After Dark:
- Time to judge each other on our morning routines (or lack thereof).
- Andrew is not prioritizing enough time for HIMSELF in the mornings!
- Pam has the most durable, instagram-worthy morning routine.
