New Week NewZ Roundup
HelloZ
Guess who’s back? Back again… If you love this newZletter, tell a friend!
Happy Monday and <somehow!> last week of January, friendZ! This weekend I spent time with fam, friends, and commiserating with (alongside?) my hubby after the Giants’ loss. I spent some time in the basement yesterday where I definitely need to hire a Hoarderly or something to come help me sort my stuff. Where does one even begin?!? For the rest of the week, one goal I have is to finish up the month strong for my clients, and send reports & invoices out in a timely manner. Sometimes I get so caught up in the work, that I don’t take care of my *own* business!
As youzh, I’m juggling a few different deadlines this week, wrapping up my latest assignments and doing a ton of affiliate housekeeping and management. So without further ado (or to do!) let’s see what’s going on out there!

Tonight on ABC, The Bachelor returns in all its messy glory at 8p. I haven’t watched in a few seasons, but I feel like I’ve run out of mindless TV and might jump on the bandwagon this season. What about you?
Kylie Jenner has clarified her youngest son’s name is pronounced: “Air.” As a recap: It was originally spelled and pronounced Wolf, but she and the baby’s father, Travis Scott, said shortly after naming him that they’d changed their minds and would fill us all in soon, which turned out to be about 11 months. They probably could have taken a bit more time on the research, though, because as social media users quickly pointed out this weekend, Aire is slang for dick in Arabic. How fun! Personally, I think there’s a play on the word “HEIR” there, or they have a thing for the weather because “Stormi.”
Only 6 movies in history have grossed $2 billion, and James Cameron has now made half of them, with Avatar: The Way of Water grossing more than $2 billion at the global box office. His other two $2B+ hits are Avatar and Titanic.
Netflix stock sees the highest level since April 2022. TBH I don’t actually care about this, but I love the 2-second high of confidence I get when I write things like, “It ended last week at $342.50, following news of subscriber growth.” 🤗
Speaking of Netflix, the streaming service is moving ahead with a sixth and final season of “Cobra Kai.” Creators Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg called the news bittersweet, but naturally added, “We hope to be telling more ‘Karate Kid’ stories with you down the line because as we all know: Cobra Kai never dies.”
Speaking of “Kai,” did you know my son was featured on the Discovery+ show “Kiddie Kai?” Just look at this adorable trailer photo from two years ago:
Instagram adds Quiet Mode. The new feature turns off notifications and DMs during select hours, and provides more content filtering control. Kinda like when they added filters to cigarettes to make them healthier.
