Last night, we were on the YouTube front lines — alongside 250k other people — to see what former “Bachelor” winner Rachael Kirkconnell had to say about her very fresh breakup. Because if there’s a woman who’s in need of a comfy couch, a matching sweat set, and some tea spilling, Alex Cooper is gonna rise to the occasion and offer all three.

With Donald Trump officially back in office, and a flood of abhorrent executive orders and public displays of fascism already grabbing our attention, we couldn’t focus on anything else this week. We decided to check back in — with each other and with Sami Sage (co-founder of Betches, host of The Morning Announcements and American Fever Dream, and author of Democracy in Retrograde) — to discuss how we’re filtering through the firehose of bad news, how to avoid expending energy on endless outrage consumption and anxiety wheel-spinning, and what is worth putting our energy toward.

Ah to be young… and quirky… and have every boy and girl in your vicinity find themselves falling, a little or a lot, in love with you. This is the world of Kitty Song Covey, the heroine of Netflix’s “XOKitty,” a spinoff series of the TATBILB trilogy.

It’s often hard to stick the landing during the second season of a hit show, and “XOKitty” season 2 definitely wobbles. However, “XOKitty” keeps its core charms: its K-drama-inspired flourishes, its casual queerness, its resistance to pigeonholing Kitty into having a clear “endgame” love interest, and its delicious sweetness. We discuss it all in this episode. Hope you enjoy! As Kitty would say… Xo

Once again, Alan Cumming and his collection of capes and tartans have assembled a band of merry C-list celebrities in a Highland castle, where they are participating in a lavishly produced parlor game of murder and betrayal: “The Traitors.” We became hooked in season 2, and season 3 brought in some of our dream cast members — Chrishell Stause, Gabby Windey, Dorinda Medley — alongside legendary contestants from strategy shows like “Survivor” and “Big Brother,” a motley crew of one-off stars from shows like “Summer House” and “The Biggest Loser,” and people who are one degree of separation from actual fame. But it also brought in a heavy dose of sexism, a palpable undercurrent of boys-rule-girls-drool, that we didn’t expect after watching season 2.

Given the success of “Selling Sunset” and “Selling The O.C.,” it was only a matter of time before the franchise spun off all the way to New York City. Enter “Selling The City.” The newest real estate mogul reality show centers on an all-women team of Douglas Elliman agents in New York City, lead by super-agent Eleanora Srugo.

It’s hard to tell exactly where the show’s emotional core lies, and the plot is not as propulsive as “Selling Sunset’s” was in those first few seasons. However, the show is at its most gripping when we are seeing the most stunning real estate that New York has to offer — so much more variety than in Los Angeles! — and when the women on the show are having surprisingly real and candid conversations about being in their 30s and 40s and figuring out how to make big life decisions about family planning, partnership and career. These moments of relatable humanity give us hope that “Selling The City” can really hit its stride if it gets a second season. (Fingers crossed!) In this episode, we discuss what works about the show’s premiere episodes and what doesn’t, and we discuss how it stacks up with the other shows in the “Selling” franchise.

“The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On” is less of a reality dating show, and more of a cautionary tale for straight people. A messy, unhinged, gripping one. In this episode, we talk about the whole season of “The Ultimatum,” some of the gossip that has come out about the cast since, and the reunion.

This week, we discuss two of the great homemaking influencers: Ballerina Farm (an unassuming tradwife Instagram icon), and Martha Stewart (a ruthless perfectionist and corporate mogul). In the midst of their recent moments in the cultural conversation — thanks to some high-profil…

Lindsay Lohan isn’t just a zany rom-com leading lady! She’s a (semi) serious rom-com leading lady.

After “Falling for Christmas” (extremely unhinged) and “Irish Wish” (extremely AI-generated), Lohan apparently wanted to work on a film that was slightly more grounded. Enter “Our Little Secret.”

“Our Little Secret” follows exes Avery (…
