Are We Obsessed? Rallies, Reads and Masked Shirtless Men

Sleep-deprived and slightly unhinged, Lauren P kicks things off by confessing that life without her sleep meds has turned her into a nocturnal raccoon. Meanwhile, Lauren B channels her inner activist at the No Kings rally and comes back feeling empowered. Then it’s time for this week’s obsessions: Lauren P is deep in the Plated Prisoner series (a spicy romantasy involving King Midas, which isn't as weird as it sounds), Lauren B is reading Culpability and questioning whether AI is about to take her job and her soul, and both Laurens dive into their latest TV addictions—Love Is Blind (Lauren P’s Halloween costume inspo) and Chad Powers (Lauren B’s newest crush). Lauren P also introduces Lauren B to the strange, seductive world of “MaskTok,” proving once again that her algorithm is chaos incarnate.
