Davos + WEF analysis, Carney’s middle powers, Toxic mom groups + who to platform, and Swearing as self-care

This week the girls kick things off with a surprisingly serious (and genuinely hopeful) deep dive on Mark Carney's Davos mic-drop with their first-ever political insider guest Jill Clark, and shift to the usual business talking about naked FaceTimes, strong canned cocktails, and a four-and-a-half-star book review that spirals into why Goodreads is emotionally unsafe. They also consider swearing as a productivity tool, toxic mom groups, celebrity oversharing, platforming debates, and why saying “I just want dialogue” is often a lie. 

Plus: billionaire math that will ruin your day, California’s drought glow-up, Wikipedia’s AI era, goalie fights, queer sports love stories, declining literacy panic, and one absolutely unforgivable seggs scene on page 527. Smart, chaotic, occasionally enraged, but ultimately very pro celebrating the wins.
