State Of The Internet with Chelsea Riffe

May 5, 2026

FILED UNDER

love you to the core

Did somebody sayyyy crossover series?! Xanthe and Chelsea have joined forces for this new monthly deep dive into what the actual f*ck is happening on the internet from social platforms, to podcasting, to pop culture. This week, we explore questions like:

•⁠ ⁠Substack: Can you ethically stay? Can you afford to leave?
•⁠ ⁠Alex vs. Alix: is Girl Fight the new Girl Boss? Is new media built to break?
•⁠ ⁠Summer House: The bar is in hell, but are we complicit?

And dig into lots of juicy nuances around online leadership, digital behaviour, and modern philosophy. You’ll leave with clear takeaways to move forward with, as well as a deeper understanding of how these topics are already impacting the conversations you’re leading, online and off.
