This week we’re unpacking the bizarre online conspiracy that Selena Gomez has been “cloned,” and why the theory says more about the internet than it does about her. We talk about the deeply rooted misogyny behind the panic whenever a woman’s face changes, the fear of watching women age in real time, and the impossible standard that women must stay frozen, flawless, and familiar forever. At what point did natural evolution become suspicious? Plus, we talk about the only man we currently don't hate: Bad Bunny, Hannah shares why she’s officially pressing pause on house hunting and thinking about building instead, and Emily tells the story of her unexpected run-in with Glen Powell.
