    New York, New York, it’s a helluva town

    New York City. Even just that name sparked an idea in your head, didn’t it? Freshly back from her short trip in Manhattan, Deb sits with Abi to talk all about the position and meaning of New York in the public consciousness — and, naturally, they talk some about the dating app experiences in New York vs. Seattle (one has more rizz, you could say).

    ‘Don’t Look Up’ Could Have Been 30 Minutes Long

    This week, Deb and Sarah decided to simply waste time. AKA, they watched “Don’t Look Up,” which is apparently almost two and a half hours long. This movie could have been really good for the climate change discussion, but instead it was literally everything else — and Deb and Sarah have tons to say.
