- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk - But very demure, mind you.

- Listener Mariann sends some encouraging feedback to another listener we spoke to in After Dark last week, and reveals a heartwarming connection to Laura.
- Trump has finally agreed to the September 10th ABC debate with Kamala Harris (mainly because he kinda has to).
- Google has been found to have an illegal monopoly on search functionality as the result of a case filed by the Trump administration.Is regulating Big Tech the one thing that can bridge the ideological divide?
- According to this ruling, one of the many ways Google has cornered the market on search is by paying Apple $20 billion yearly to be the default search engine on iPhones.
- Could this ruling lead to a breakup of Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company?
- Is the government equipped to keep up with regulating quickly evolving technology?
- Speaking of tech, Andrew has a bone to pick with people who complain about Elon, but continue to maintain their Twitter platforms.
- Is Twitter muscle memory when trying to get quick reactions out there? Why won't Laura just succumb to Threads?!
- Speaking of Elon, he isn't the only high-profile person who continues to double down on terrible takes: JK Rowling made headlines during the Olympics for spreading misinfo about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif's gender identity. Subsequently, both JK and Elon were named in a cyberbullying lawsuit Khelif filed in France.
- Where do we draw the line with personally cancelling famous people and platforms?

And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:
- Inspired by TikTok user bran_flakezz, we ask ourselves: "what is a friendship lesson that you've had to learn the hard way as an adult?"
- What really resonates with our panel? People who gossip to you are also probably gossiping ABOUT you!
- We share our own lessons learned, along with anecdotes about the times when we've either had to let friendships go, or reset our expectations and boundaries with them.
