Terminally Online

This week is a grab bag of stories: Deadline’s Nikki Finke passed away, TwitchCon’s dubious safety protocols led to one streamer’s grievous injury, the Try Guys fallout continues, and more tea about Buzzfeed’s dysfunctional work environment gets spilled by ex-employees. After covering all that, Tori and Hannah swap some entertaining Reddit drama stories. Other topics of discussion include: Eurotra...

This was a week of scandals: The Try Guys dropped an infidelity bombshell, mega popular YouTuber Dream revealed his face for the first time, and chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen accused opponent Hans Niemann of cheating. If you couldn’t keep up with the endless drama, don’t worry – Hannah and Tori break it all down for you. Other topics include: Wife guys, Buzzfeed millenials, and the insufferable...

This week Tori breaks down the ongoing Twitch implosions, including a scammer who conned over $300,000 from people on the platform (not a good time to be someone who goes by any variation of the name “Slick”), and then Hannah covers TikTok makeup guru Mikayla Nogueria, who recently came under fire for some out of touch commentary on the hardships of being a rich influencer. Other topics discussed...

What a week! Racists got mad about The Little Mermaid being black, Trump was mysteriously rushed off his golf course and to D.C., Trisha Paytas had her baby, and oh yeah, the queen is dead. (Rest in piss, Lizzie.) We also talk about how we met political-streamer-slash-himbo Hasan Piker in Times Square over the weekend.   Other topics of discussion include: Celebrity run-ins in NYC, cringy romance...

Our grand return from our unintentional hiatus is a throwback: Tori tells the tale of the ill-fated Tumblr-inspired convention from 2014. Shady finances, guests canceling last-minute, and sad ball pits, oh my. Was Dash Con a true Dash CON, or just the result of incompetency? Porque no los dos? Other topics discussed include: The Don’t Worry Darling film drama that had the internet in its grip this...

We break down the two unauthorized Broadway production scandals of the moment: A Texan church livestreaming a homophobic version of Hamilton (what’s the opposite of “yassified”?) and Netflix’s lawsuit against the unofficial Bridgerton TikTok musical. To help weigh in, we bring on our friend-slash-internet-lawyer Jon. Disclaimer: This is not legal advice, Barlow & Bear! Get your own attorney! O...

This week’s super-sized episode is dedicated to Hannah and Tori’s personal stories of internet drama.

On this week’s episode, we tell you everything you didn’t want to know about the Ana Mardoll and Lockheed Martin drama. This story has everything: Grifters! War crimes! Terrible people on all sides! To wash that taste out of your mouth, we also swap some entertaining Reddit stories. Other topics include: Standard issue cats, Adventure Time, and whether or not Tyra Banks would be good at Dungeons a...

In this week's episode, we delve into stories of lost media. Tori discusses the lost Doctor Who episodes and how the diehard online fan community helped recover them. Is Doctor Who more culturally valuable than the Queen's coronation? Maybe! Meanwhile, Hannah talks about the "holy grail" of lost media, the Christine Chubbuck tape - including a recent development in uncovering i...

Welcome to our (sort of) first episode of Terminally Online! In this episode, Hannah and Tori discuss the TikTok phenomenon known as "reality shifting." So many questions! Why is it so popular?
