How do we talk about this new era of

A version of this article was originally published 10 May 2024. Back in May 2023, Jemima Kirke posted an image of herself to her Instagram. Among the comments, a few were just one word: “Ozempic.” “If you motherfuckers only knew. I wish it was fucking Ozempic. How can you make such specific inferences and judgments about a person through their size?” Kirke replied. How can we? Easily. Crying “Ozempic!” anytime a public figure appears thinner is so common in this era of new weight-loss drugs that it’s become a meme. Dozens of celebrities – from Mindy Kaling and Kim Kardashian to Jonah Hill and Lana Del Rey – have been subject to the same accusation as Kirke. While the specifics of the accusation...

Is this £10,000 microplastic removal treatment really worth it?

It’s claimed that we now ingest six times more microplastics than we did back in 1990. We are reportedly inhaling as much as 68,000 microplastic particles daily. They’ve been found in our blood, our organs, our breast milk and even our bones. It’s clear there is a problem. What’s been less clear is we solve it. But now, a new £10,000 treatment has emerged that promises to remove between 90 and 99 per cent of microplastics from your blood.

Conversely, many of the conversations that dominated our most-read pieces revolved around pubic hair: from guides to growing it out to analyses of bush-focused trends pushing back against that conservatism.

Here are eight of the most-viewed articles from this year.
