A discussion of Nicole Shanahan's personal life leads to an exploration of "druidic" and pagan subcultures within Silicon Valley, including anecdotes about Infoworld in the 1980s.

Kara Swisher appeared on Bill Maher's show to promote her new memoir, "Burn Book," which features insults from tech figures like Elon Musk on its back cover.

A TikTok creator faced backlash for leaving Burning Man early during the mud crisis, with critics accusing her of "ruining the playa."
