In the past three weeks, at least four people have asked me if I’ve listened to the song “ADHD” by Paris Hilton. The single from her new album is a heavily auto-tuned account of her struggles with the disorder she was diagnosed with as an adult, including racing thoughts, inability to sleep, and feeling like her brain is on fire. The music video features Hilton in space buns and a gauzy dress gallivanting around a lavender-hued dreamscape next to dancers in lace Morphsuits. The song culminates with her learning to accept living with the condition: “My superpower was right inside, see / It was ADHD,” she sings. Of course, I’ve heard the song by now — it’s inescapable. But I have no idea what Hilton is talking about.

Plot twist: Sexxy Red voted for Kamala. Steve Kornacki will be with us again on Election Night, possibly not wearing khakis (but not wearing no pants, pervs). Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson claims that a demon attack left him bleeding in bed, and Trump is threatening to put RFK Jr. in charge of "health and women’s health" if reelected. But enough politics. 2024 is going down in the books as the year of brat. Americans aren't interested in climbing the corporate ladder anymore. And welcome back, Paddington. We've missed you.
