Mattel has launched a blind Barbie doll to increase representation for the vision impaired. Working alongside the American Foundation for the Blind, the doll was made with tactile fabric and includes “Barbie” written in braille on the box.

Throwing it back to the days of having to handwrite and then photocopy your feelings, Hinge has turned six real love stories into a zine. This literary anthology favoured by riot grrls and moody teens was created to challenge the notion of perfect rom-com stories and celebrate the imperfect, beautiful love all around us.

There’s currently a rumour going around about lowest-rated VP pick ever, JD Vance, that’s the equivalent of our Engadine Maccas – probably not true, but they just give off that kind of vibe, you know? Creative agency Quality Meats has played into the rumour (we’re dancing around putting it in writing), and released a special lubricant in his honour.  All proceeds go to the campaign for Kamala Harris.

Jealous of all the card games and day drinking seniors get to do, but don’t want all the hip replacements and missing teeth? Taco Bell has built an ‘early retirement’ community. The brand is offering a weekend trip for all ages to soak up the sun and partake in senior-inspired recreation like bingo and presumably, yelling at kids to get off their lawn.

McDonalds is going retro and re-issuing the favourite souvenir of childhood dinners past – the collectable cup, with designs referencing past tie-ins with Barbie, Beanie Babies, and other deeper cuts.

Door Dash has released a new ad where the focus is an adorable tea cup pig. That’s all really. There’s so many awful things in adult life, sometimes we just want to direct you to places where you can see cute small animals. Enjoy.
