The Olympics are joeover
And I know you’ve all been following them RELIGIOUSLY, but I thought I would give a final shout out Raygun, the Australian breakdancer who scored a total of 0 points, but gained something more important: legend status:

The closing ceremony was yesterday and for some reason, Tom Cruised down from the roof of Stade de France to collect the Olympic flag:
And Billie Eilish ate up her performance of ‘The Greatest:’
But I have a question for you: are the Olympics one of the few remaining examples of the monoculture we have? Something that everyone knows is happening, and most people get behind? Perhaps a question for Slam Dunc to ponder. Anyway:
Around the world:
A huge wildfire fuelled by gale-force winds is spreading to the edge of Athens, as thousands of residents are told to flee their homes.
Ukraine claims to control 1,000 sq km of Russian territory “as they press their biggest cross-border incursion in two-and-a-half years of full-scale war.”
And out of this world:
Mars may host oceans’ worth of water deep underground?? “New results suggest there are huge amounts of water locked far beneath Mars’ surface, enough to cover Mars with an ocean at least a kilometer deep. If confirmed, the discovery would transform our understanding of Mars’ past and hint at a habitat where life could potentially thrive there today.

Chappell Roan called out the VIPS at her show for being ‘too cool’ and I’m obsessed
Her yelling ‘YOU’RE NOT FUNNNNNNN’ is now my fave Chappell moment.

Miley Cyrus became the youngest Disney legend
One thing about me? I fucking LOVE Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana raised me. Last night, an emoshe Miley became the youngest person to receive Disney ‘legend’ status (similar to Raygun.) Hate to make a pun about the song she released that I hated sooooo much, but I’m glad Miley is getting her flowers.

So many of us have grown up having everything available and accessible to us all the time - which is AMAZING for so many reasons, but there is a cost to free things - even if you can’t see it.
In a world that feels more mystifying by the day, where journalists are constantly being laid off, and misinformation spreads faster than a leaked Harry Styles song, finding media that you trust, understand and actually want to read is so important.
I know you value what I do - so many of you email me saying how much you love the newsletter, thanking me for explaining topics you might not have heard of, and telling me how much it means to you that you’ve got a friend on the other side of this thing (🥺🥺🥺) If you believe in paying for the media (or the person???) you love, then please consider becoming a supporter.

In what sad corner of the world do people not know about golden syrup and how are they making their Anzac biscuits and what are they smearing on their damper?
