This Week’s Headlines
A documentary is being made about Young Thug’s trial
Slated for a 2027 Netflix release, the 90-minute documentary will trace the rise of Young Thug and his YSL circle through his infamous RICO trial, the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. Judge Paige Whitaker, who oversaw the case, revealed the project during an interview this week. Netflix has yet to officially confirm the film or release a trailer.
Frieze London report
From our arts correspondent Bryan Munguia who is on the ground at Frieze London this week:
Frieze London and Frieze Masters welcomed art-world VIPs this past Wednesday. The mood across London’s art market appears generally positive, with Hauser & Wirth leading opening-day sales at Frieze Masters with the purchase of a Jan Brueghel the Elder still life for approximately $6.5 million.
The real action, however, was in Frieze London’s Focus section, where solo presentations by younger galleries offered a glimpse of the art world’s emerging tastemakers. Highlights included Heidi’s presentation of Benjamin Lallier, and Ehrlich Steinberg’s presentation of Ella Fleck.
Tesla unveiled its ‘flying’ car
A video of the Tesla Roadster was revealed yesterday, showing the car accelerating up a tall ramp, clinging upside down, flipping, and sort of flying for a few seconds before landing. Musk says the Roadster uses thrusters developed with SpaceX. The car can also supposedly drive upside down using a suction system, while its rocket-assisted acceleration is claimed to take it from zero to 60 mph in under a second. First announced in 2017, the Roadster is now slated for production in 2028, though its flying capabilities are not approved for public roads.
Luca Guadagnino is producing a documentary on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior tenure
After more than a year of being spotted filming at Jonathan Anderson’s Dior shows (he greeted guests at Anderson’s June 2025 menswear debut with a camera and microphone), Luca Guadagnino is reported to be producing a documentary on the designer’s arrival at the house. The pair have a long-standing friendship and creative partnership. Anderson has designed costumes for three Guadagnino films: Challengers, Queer, and the upcoming Artificial, starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Guadagnino also designed the set for Anderson’s first Dior womenswear show.
AI researchers are picking up a smoking habit because they believe AI will cure cancer
According to Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, a handful of AI researchers have taken up smoking as a show of faith that AI will cure cancer. Sankar did not disclose the research or evidence behind their confidence. Other Silicon Valley figures have expressed similar confidence in AI’s ability to cure cancer. Startup founder Avi Schiffmann has suggested that AI robots will have cured lung cancer by the time today’s smokers develop it, while Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev joked on X, “Hearing more and more AI researchers are taking up smoking … superintelligence is near.”
Druski is hosting SNL
As just about every media publication has said, Druski will be the first-ever online creator to host SNL. The decision is long overdue, as Druski has become one of the most popular comedians of his generation.
HBO’s Girls is returning for five new episodes in 2027
Lena Dunham announced yesterday that her millennial HBO hit Girls will return for five episodes, featuring most of the original cast. The show has experienced a resurgence in recent years as both a time capsule of early 2010s culture, and a study of early adulthood through the lens of a confused, narcissistic group of young women. Many are wondering how Dunham will tackle the 2020s, particularly the kind of cringe that defined the original series.
