Back in 2022, Chilean journalist Nicolas Krumm became the news, due to an unfortunate encounter with a parrot. Or fortunate, depending on whether he wanted to go viral. It happened, coincidentally, as he was doing a piece to camera about a rise in robberies in the area, and the timing could’t have been better. @rtenews […]

Coming to you straight from the “you can’t make this shit up” department, CNN tried to announce the White House’s new healthcare proposal today and couldn’t even introduce their guest for the segment before they were interrupted. The interruption? The new healthcare proposal was delayed. Again. Here’s the entirety of the Trump Era summed up […]

While Twitter, or X – if you’ve bothered to take that on board – is full of bots and people pretending to be from places thousands of miles from their actual locations, Bluesky has a different problem …people who don’t just need to take a chill pill, they need to get hooked up to a […]

Are there more problems to deal with in the 21st century, or are we just more aware of all of the issues due to the hyper-connected nature of the world nowadays? It’s hard to say, but it often does feel like life is series of catastrophes and bin fires, with little to no respite in […]

Recent studies into the behaviours of Gen Z (or ‘zoomers’), the generation born between 1997 – 2012, have re-opened those inter-generational divisions that surely stretch back many thousands of years and beyond. Us oldies have always complained about the strange habits of the “young ‘uns”, and our behaviours and fashions are just as baffling and […]

Here’s a far-from-exhaustive list of some of the goodies officially endorsed by POTUS: Trump ‘Fight Fight Fight’ Guitar: $999 Trump ‘Landslide’ Boots: $299 ‘God Bless the USA’ Bible: $69.99 Trump Chardonnay: $28 […]

To the world – briefly – of Andrew Tate, the clown prince of the toxic manosphere who has a bit of a thing for tweets which are most kindly described as ‘gnomic’ (do feel free to insert your less kind description). And they don’t come more gnomic (embarrassing) than this one, his latest declaration on […]

With all the bad news in the media, it would be quite tempting to pull the plug on the wi-fi router, close the curtains, and tell the world to eff off. Before you go that far, however, watch what Erin Chalmers of Denny, Scotland, saw on her Ring doorbell. A group of Scottish primary school […]

Time now to turn to the thoughts, such as they are, of this person who calls themselves @GoodAmericanMan on Twitter. Apparently they believe in ‘family above all else’ according to their self-penned Twitter bio. Women having hobbies? Rather less so. We say this after they trolled this woman’s hobby for no earthly reason (other than […]

Former congressman, TV host and *checks notes* champion lumberjack Sean Duffy is both the Acting Adminstrator of Nasa and the Secretary of Transportation in Trump’s government, where loyalty to the Orange Buffoon is the only qualification necessary. After the Doge cuts and the government shutdown, the air industry in the US has been in serious […]
