These were informal but high-stakes gatherings, then known as LAN parties, whether winning a box of energy drinks or just the joy of emerging victorious. Many people who had never experienced the era of LAN parties also responded with excitement. Digital cameras — with which most of the photos in “LAN Party” were taken — had just become widely available to the public. LAN parties made space for competition and community in both 'real life' and online environments simultaneously. Dane Oleson/Electronox/Courtesy Thames & HudsonThough they have significantly dwindled in frequency, LAN parties do still take place.

But Paltrow doesn't share the same desire as longevity bros to halt or even reverse aging. And Paltrow also says she walks, which plenty of evidence has linked to a long, healthy life. "I want a nice, long, healthy life, but I'm not looking to live to 165 or anything like that." Paltrow's morning routine has evolved as she's agedAs longevity experts will tell you, living a long life mostly involves doing boring stuff, like eating vegetables and sleeping well, consistently.

I'm a mom of three kids and I've decided to unfollow momfluencers. When someone only shares the picture-perfect moments I feel like I'm not doing enough. And when I follow any parent who only shows the best parts, I start to feel like I'm not doing enough. I even feel this way when seeing certain posts from friends or acquaintances on social media. On social media, there are too many versions of the lives we could lead and the parenting choices we could make.

Gen Z is growing disinterested in the extravagant brand trips influencers are sent on. The generation that has grown up with social media says the lavish lifestyles of the internet's rich and famous no longer thrill them. Tarte brand trips are famed in the influencer worldFor years, brand trips have been a way to solidify a company's name among the young people who watch YouTube and scroll TikTok and Instagram. Varbanova said there are some young people — mostly millennials and DINKs — who still see over-the-top, out-of-touch brand trips as aspirational. If Gen Z's spending money is the goal, brand trips are missing the mark.

☆ On social-media, Black women's content is monetized and appropriated without paying tribute to the creators

In the influencer world, Black female creators see their work co-opted without credit or apology. Kylie Jarrett, Ph.D., a scholar of media studies, refers to women content creators as "digital housewives," which is fitting because they often earn the same salary as stay-at-home moms: $0. Some of the most exploited people of all are Black women and girls who create content, then watch it get appropriated and monetized by others. They were eventually invited on the show via Zoom — but only after, you guessed it, social media outcry . The experience is so common among Black creators that in the summer of 2021, they went on strike to protest the practice of appropriating their work .

“As always, she wakes up just before the alarm goes off.”“As always, she gets up in the dark and walks into the bathroom.”“As always, she quickly looks into the mirror. Yes, That’s her. Forty years old, mother of one, single, working.”So went the voice-over at the Undercover show: a prose poem written and read by the film director Wim Wenders. Certainly, a woman I know.

Williams told BI she thinks people are fascinated by traditional wife content because it is "nostalgic," "wholesome, and fulfilling."

They follow the money, putting paychecks above career steps that were once viewed as aspirational, like management positions or promotions. A job is just a job to Gen Z, who feel like the juice of career progression is not worth the squeeze. "So you just got to be really, really careful with the content you're consuming and the people that you're trusting." This can lead to financial envy and money anxiety, Imam said, as well as something called "money dysmorphia."
