Social Media Has Become A Minefield

Kate Lindsay and Candice Lim discuss how so many of their favorite social media platforms have gone openly pro-Trump since the election, and how they feel about it.

Are apps like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok actually essential to our daily lives? And without them, where do we go?

The Last Days of Legal TikTok

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay are joined by Slate business and tech writer Nitish Pahwa to recap what the (possibly) last days of legal TikTok have been like.

Should I Join Bluesky?

Candice Lim is joined by Slate business and tech writer Nitish Pahwa and internet culture writer Steffi Cao to debate, defend, and decide how they’re going to face the internet this year. Each brought a personal query they’re on the fence about, and the remaining panelists will argue both sides before coming to a verdict. For example, should we join Bluesky? How can we resist the urge to fact-check our friends in their Instagram comments? And is it time to delete our texts? But first, they’re debating: does the internet care about analog awards shows, such as the [Golden Globes] (https://slate.com/culture/2025/01/golden-globes-2025-winners-upset-nikki-glaser.html) ?
