Murder at Burning Man?! Cardi B Popping Off in Court,...

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/09/10

This week on The Doomscroll Diaries, we’re spiraling over the weirdest mix of stories the internet threw at us. Burning Man wasn’t just dust storms and chaos - someone was actually murdered, and the rumors around it are getting darker by the day. Over in LA, Cardi B turned her $24M lawsuit into a full-blown circus, with testimony moments that felt more like a reality show than a courtroom. Then there’s Taylor Swift officially cutting off Blake Lively for good, which honestly feels harsher than any

We’re back in studio! What a summer.

The best (and worst) of the internet — and our lives —

We Break Down the Kiss Cam Scandal, Sydney’s Ad Mess,...

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/07/30

Sydney Sweeney’s new jeans ad might be the most unintentionally (or very intentionally?) eugenics-coded campaign of the year and that’s somehow not even the most cursed brand moment we cover this week. We get into the tea app data breach that exposed women’s personal info, a Coldplay kiss cam scandal that cost a tech CEO his job, a WNBA campaign that sparked a very predictable backlash, and National Grid’s deeply confusing decision to hand out free trees to landless New Yorkers. Let’s doomscroll.You

Jeff Bezos’ Tacky Wedding, Gen Z Interns Are Weird,...

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/07/02

Jeff Bezos got married and it was somehow both a $64 million event and deeply tacky. We’re breaking down the foam party, the Friday ceremony (??), and a wedding aisle carpet that screamed “startup office in 2012.” Meanwhile, Katy Perry skipped the wedding, but her ex Orlando Bloom didn’t — and yes, it’s giving drama.We also get into: • Gen Z interns and their lack of eye contact • A Norwegian tourist deported over a JD Vance meme (yes, really) • A Canadian lunch lady who hired kids to beat up a 4th

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/06/27

This weekend broke us. Laura got hit with a foam sword at LARPing in Prospect Park, Mae barely survived the NYC heatwave with a baby in tow, and Coney Island? An actual hellscape of broken glass, trash fires, and emotional damage. We recap our chaotic social calendars (why did we say yes to everything?), debate whether mental illness is actually contagious through kissing, and break down Jeff Bezos’ $10M wedding in Venice — private jets, Oprah, and protestors on inflatable crocodiles included.Plus:

2025/06/20

The DoomScroll Diaries era has officially begun!! And we’re kicking it off with naked hot tub incident, Mae cosplaying as an escort, and Sabrina Carpenter’s not-so-subtle album cover. This week, we’re diving into all the juicy chaos: Mae gets a free hot tub that immediately backfires (literally), Laura reveals regularly she lies down in the shower “for her mental health” and we spiral over everything from Ozempic runs in Mexico to meeting Reddit girlies IRL. We’re also breaking down TikTok’s “man of

2025/06/11

This week on Risqué Business News, the girls are asking: what the hell is going on?? Elon Musk showed up to the White House with a mysterious black eye, and no, it probably wasn’t from his 5-year-old son, X . Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney is out here bottling and selling soap made with her used bathwater — and yes, it sold out. And Selena Gomez is once again facing internet backlash, this time for vaping despite having a kidney transplant. We’re also covering a horrifying cat torture video ring (trigger

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/06/06

Laura got married!!! It was dino-themed. There was a tornado. There was an armadillo. A porta potty flew down the street. Then we all boarded a party barge captained by a lesbian named SugarTits. Somehow, that’s just the first five minutes of this episode. We also dive into the 100 men vs. 1 gorilla debate, Kylie Jenner casually dropping her boob job recipe, Lindsay Lohan pretending her facelift was just chia seeds, and Bethenny Frankel surviving on tuna and vibes. Oh, and there’s a new sea creature

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/05/15

This week, Justin Bieber decided Mother’s Day was the perfect time to post something that really should’ve stayed between him and Hailey who looked like she needed a hug. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez’s mental health startup WonderMind somehow forgot to pay people (oops). We also cover Suffolk County’s iconic move to publicly blast the worst deadbeat dads by naming them, a Times Square statue of an extremely average woman who may or may not have seen it and gone uh… rude, and the surprisingly emotional

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/05/09

We just flew into Newark and, honestly, we’re lucky to be alive. This week we’re talking about the airport chaos (spoiler: the planes disappeared from radar??), a janitor who peed herpes into the office water cooler, and Kanye West suing his dentist over a nitrous oxide addiction. We also become accidental water snobs thanks to a deep dive into the world of water sommeliers (Dasani slander incoming), and yep - a patron at a Barstool Sports bar managed to pull off a full-on hate crime via bottle

Fyre Fest II is back… and already canceled again. The gals break down who’s dumb enough to buy tickets, plus the chaotic $333 wedding bus tour, a serial killer on the loose in New England, and a hiker who ignored rescuers because he thought they were spam calls. RIP Pope Francis and we’re blaming JD Vance. Also, Laura’s bachelorette is coming up, ChatGPT might destroy the planet, and China says hot girls shouldn’t go outside. You know, normal stuff.

The Doomscroll Diaries ·

2025/04/08

The gals are spiraling over the White Lotus finale and Mike White’s war on common sense. Laura and Mae have thoughts - mostly about poison pina coladas, mysterious dads, and why Duke University took it so personally. A sushi restaurant in Queens is getting wrecked by an MTA porta potty (we wish that was a joke). A Williamsburg bathhouse is serving Bitcoin, bugs, and UTIs. A Florida principal gets busted for shrimp theft. And a Japanese man loses his pension over a large coffee. Just another week in

2025/04/04

The Gals are chatting about the AI chat bots getting bummed out from our problems. Laura needs to stop unloading on her poor chat bot. A woman at the DFW airport wore her birthday suit and was found covered in blood??? Imagine sitting next to her in 19A. A polygamist in Ohio has more rizz than Pete Davidson. Sean Kingston and his MOTHER are facing charges for a jewelry scam? And a pastor that said give god your money or ELSE! Oh! And the gals give their thoughts on chappel roans CHD pod. Enjoy!
