This week we're kicking off The Dumpster Fire Corner, a quick way to discuss the latest news in our messed up world. Trump is back on his Greenland nonsense: floating taking it by force, firing off a letter to Norway’s PM about not caring about peace anymore (sir, Norway doesn’t hand out the Nobel), and tanking global markets because he will not log off. Public support is in the gutter, allies are understandably nervous, and experts warn that invading Greenland would effectively nuke NATO. Meanwhile, a German study confirms what we’ve all been saying: 96% of U.S. tariffs are paid by Americans, not foreign exporters, because of course they are. Then we unpack the rise of the “2016 Trend," and why everyone’s suddenly sharing photos from ten years ago. Then Pam breaks down what might be the first meme of 2026: not explaining yourself. From a viral TikTok comment about “365 buttons” to the broader rise of vagueposting, we ask whether this is chaotic nonsense, elite gatekeeping, or actually the perfect mantra for the year ahead. And yes, we absolutely speculate on what Tamara did with those buttons. This week's recommendations: Andrew shouts out a Stanley Steamer deep clean, Laura recommends The Pitt on HBO Max, and Pam loves HBO Max’s Like Water for Chocolate. And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're reflecting on 11 years of this show, past oversharing, former partners in old content, aging out of wild anecdotes, and what we’d do differently (or never change).
