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 […]

President Trump has never been afraid to trade on his image, fleecing the gullible MAGA crowd for millions of dollars for Trump-branded tat. 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.

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 […]

We hadn’t come across this particular person called Peter Lloyd before. He’s a journalist and author who describes himself as a ‘sufragent’ and ‘no, not a misogynist’ which might very well be all you need to know. We mention him because he’s been getting all misty eyed about this video of 1940s Britain, in between […]

It’s that time of the year again when we dig out the Christmas card list and try to remember who didn’t send us one last year so we can ditch them this time round. By necessity we’ll also be girding our loins to shell out a small fortune for some stamps, and there was one […]

We’ve got no idea why this Tweet from 2020 has been going viral again, but we’re very much here for it. Back in March 2020, just as the Pandemic was really beginning to hit, US musician, producer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, who has now reached the level of fame where he is generally just […]

We’re used to Trump and his team sharing odd and seriously delusional images and clips of him on Truth Social and other apps. Who can forget the White House sharing this King Trump Time cover? “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” –President Donald J. Trump […]
