The Fastest Way To Lose Any Argument

Yesterday, Australia lost someone very, very significant. The self-proclaimed Happiest Man On Earth - Eddie Jaku. Eddie was 101 years old, a best-selling author, a holocaust survivor, and a German-born Jew whose parents were murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Eddie’s mission was to teach people not to hate. It’s beyond ironic then, that also yesterday, an Australian influencer dressed her family up in yellow stars, supposedly to represent the Star of David that Jewish people in Nazi-occupied Europe were forced to wear. So what was her message? And why is it such a lazy and dangerous comparison?

Plus, we need to talk about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s latest interview. Are they 2021's answer to Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton?

And should we stop telling women they have imposter syndrome?

The End Bits:

Recommendations: Mia wants you to preorder the illustrated edition of Eddie Jaku's book, The Happiest Man on Earth, out November 9.
