You think we're online? This guy read everything Elon Musk posted for a week; this guy had 7500 tabs open for two years; and these people are roleplaying as influencers inside a horror video game. They’re going through it and so was the Met Gala, which happened this week with a last-minute union deal, a raft of AI deepfakes, and an interview with Rita Ora, who wore beads

Also this week: reads! A new profile of Miranda July, a new review of Leslie Jamison, and a new type of guy. Slate went on the Creed cruise and we went to the Bridgerton Bowral ball. The Cut, meanwhile, remained where it always is: oscillating between insanely devastating essay and insane hate read. This is the best headline and this is the worst combo.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
