It’s Been a Dark Week — So We’re Sharing What Brought Us Joy

from The Doomscroll Diaries · host Laura Sogar and Mae Planert

It’s been a dark week, on the internet and around the world, so we went looking for the things that actually brought us joy online. We talk viral dances that briefly cured our doomscrolling, a man fighting off a coyote to save his chihuahua, deeply unhinged wedding traditions, British “Chinese food” discourse, why smart fridges might be a mistake, and the comfort of small, absurd internet moments when everything else feels heavy. We can’t fix it. So here’s some laughter, distractions, and a little joy where we could find it.
