TeacherTok has been under fire for having teachers influencers becoming popular amidst America’s literacy crisis. Teachers are being blamed for everything from failing students, their outfits, and life choices off the clock. But this goes far beyond teacher content, and ACTUALLY has more to do with how we teach reading, education policy, school funding, technology, and the way students are learning in the first place.

Food recalls and foodborne illnesses are seemingly everywhere and the safety of America’s food supply is really being brought into question. Many people are left wondering what is safe and where we can get clean food with the FDA seemingly loosening restrictions of food quality control.

Biphobia is on the rise and no one wants to admit it. In this video we're breaking down recent conversations around dating bisexual people, misinformation around it & how this is playing into a larger conversation than just dating.

In this video we're talking about how Meta clawed back from the Metaverse flop and convinced millions of people to join the surveillance state for the sake of "content".

Love Island USA season 8 got red pilled. In this video we're talking about the KC & Aniya drama, purity culture and gaslighting that defined this season. At the end I hope to convince you that Love Island is more than just a silly show & that it's a mirror into the Gen Z modern dating sphere.

Love Island season 8 basically confirmed the literacy crisis is real. KC can't get through a love letter, Islanders can't pronounce epitome or compromise, and kids IRL can't read simple words off a paper. This video breaks down why Gen Z can't read anymore and what happens next.

The World Cup is HERE and so are the Europeans. Europeans spent years telling us we were dramatic about the heat and now they are lying on the ground in Houston so we need to talk about it.

Corporate culture has us booked and busy for absolutely no reason. We're spending 31+ hours a month in meetings that solve nothing, cost companies billions, and are slowly draining the life out of us one Zoom call at a time. I looked into why meeting culture got this out of control and what we can actually do about it.

Dead Internet Theory is real and the Floodify scandal just proved everything we already suspected about fake viral trends and bot farms on social media.

Nobody knows how to act at the movies anymore and I am so tired of it. We are getting into why streaming, second screen habits, and a growing individualist mindset have completely killed theater etiquette. This is a conversation we need to have because it is bigger than just the movies.

Trad wives, traditional gender roles, and the "just be feminine" pipeline are everywhere online and it's all a scam. The trad wife aesthetic is selling you stability, a soft life and....patriarchy and we need to talk about it.

Vertical dramas are all over TikTok and they are only getting more and more disturbing. We are breaking down what they are, who is watching them, and why the way they are made is lowkey exploitative for the actors in them. The microdramas are more than just cringe content and it is time we took them seriously enough to criticize them.

Thin is back in and it is making people genuinely unwell about food in ways we have seen before. People are now openly commenting on what others eat like it is completely normal behavior and it is not. The fear of being big has gotten so loud that folks are skipping meals, abusing medication, and treating basic food as something to be afraid of.

a conversation with my dear friend Quest Morris & brother Nuri Robinson about the importance of community, family and how to go about fostering that as gen z

I watched the Michael Jackson movie going in completely blind and honestly it was kinda good until I started doing my research.

I went in with zero lore and a clean slate and what I found out after left me with way more questions than answers.

Men are out here demanding trad wives in modern dating but nobody is checking if traditional men even exist anymore. We are talking about the real numbers behind what it actually costs to be a "provider" and why the men pushing this narrative the hardest are the least traditional ones in the room. Trad men don't exist, and let's stop pretending that they do.

AI Fruit Love Island took over TikTok, and people are genuinely obsessed with it despite knowing it's AI slop.

But what happens when studios see this kind of engagement, and start funding more AI content and pulling money away from human creators? Let's talk about it.

Numbness is trending and we need to talk about it. From the dissociating pout to beta blockers to Ozempic quietly killing your joy, something is actively trying to get Gen Z to stop feeling and I am not okay with it. It may be cool to be numb but caring is genuinely the most radical thing you can do right now.

Airport lines are suddenly stretching past five hours and people are finally asking what is actually going on. In this video, we break down how the government funding situation led to TSA workers not getting paid, why so many of them quit, and how bringing in ICE is changing the entire airport experience.

Are older generations right about Gen Z lacking initiative, or is it more complicated than that?

Everyone is telling you to become an influencer, but the creator economy is starting to look a lot like an MLM or pyramid scheme. In this video we break down the influencer pyramid using examples from creators like MrBeast, Alix Earle, Charli D’Amelio, Logan Paul and the rise of TikTok influencing, brand deals, affiliate links, and “how to be an influencer” courses. We’re taking a peek behind the curtain at whether influecing is REALLY worth the hype.

CEOs keep trying to go viral by eating their own food on camera, but it mostly just proves how out of touch they actually are. In this video we’re breaking down the viral McDonald’s CEO burger taste test, the Chipotle CEO comments about customers making over $100k, and why brands like Burger King and Wendy’s are suddenly putting their CEOs on social media. Let’s normalize cringe one last time just for them.

Paramount’s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery just changed the media landscape in a massive way. With entertainment, news, and streaming power consolidating under leadership closely tied to Trump-aligned politics, we're seeing a shift in who controls the narrative. Let’s talk about media monopolies, political influence, and why the future of “free press” might not be as free as we think.

Manon has been put on hiatus from Katseye, Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were called the N word on national TV, and it's STILL Black History Month.

Protein is literally in EVERYTHING right now, and I am TIRED of it! It's now in the coffee, the popcorn and even your water, and it feels like every brand randomly decided to start protein maxxing. In this video, we're breaking down why stores and fast casual chains are pushing protein so aggressively, what’s actually happening with gym culture and GLP-1 users, and whether we even need this much of it. Protein is important, obviously, but is this health optimization or just another trend?

Let’s talk about why these ads felt so predatory, what they’re really selling us, and why the Super Bowl commercials this year felt so....troubling.

College was supposed to be the safe path. Get a degree, find a stable job, and move up in the world but for Millennials and Gen Z, that promise has clearly fallen apart. In this video, we're breaking down why so many of us feel college isn’t worth it anymore, how student debt, the job market, and rising costs changed the value of a college degree, and who actually benefits from pushing the idea that higher education is useless.

We explore the racial double standard behind internet accountability and why reinvention is only accepted for certain people.

The 2026 New Year 'rebrand' trend claims to be for growth but often results in burnout. We live in an online culture obsessed with self optimization and productivity. Whether it's vision boards and rebrand TikToks or wellness marketing and gym culture, personal change has quietly turned into another form of consumerism. In this video, we're breaking down why treating yourself like a brand is not the path to self improvement and how real growth can happen without buying a new version of yourself.

By looking at Dadaism, brain rot, and the hidden spread of AI, we unpack why this matters and what it means for the future of real and intentional art.

The internet is obsessed with calling every terrible man “DL,” but this video breaks down why that jump is not only wrong but rooted in real homophobia happening online right now.
