MORAL EXHAUSTION: THE NEW FRONTIER OF SOCIAL MEDIA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s Sydney Sweeney spread-eagle over a basketball hoop; she doesn’t want to bet on ‘death’ or ‘wars,’ just sport. It’s Ed Sheeran’s tour on the brink of collapse after dropping Macklemore over pro-Palestinian sentiments. It’s Bonnie Blue cradling a baby doll whilst surrounded by masked men, potentially using a child as bait for her sexual content. It’s another Anthropic safety researcher quitting over a lack of safeguards to prevent AI from causing ‘extinction-level risk.’These are just a few o
EVERYTHING IS UGLY AND NOTHING IS FUN (opens the original)

I sit in another cafe in central London. Beige interiors, stainless steel countertops and wooden benches. I’m waiting for my overpriced oat flat white, but I might as well be waiting for my pap smear. I’m not sure when minimalist and clinical interiors became a social status symbol for ‘boujee’, but I suppose lacklustre is the new blueprint. I join the line of those in the same uniform as I.

It was a Sunday afternoon in Dalston. Smoke filled the room as we sat on the floor, rummaging through the archives of Egyptian magazines from the ’50s.

Read excerpt
It appears my 2026 bingo card has been far off this year. Absent from my long list of predictions appears to be incelfluencer looksmaxxer connoisseur ‘Clavicular’s’ recent visit to Israel, or, as right-wing pro-Israel publication The Free Press coined it, ‘Israelmaxxing.’ Apparently this was a trip to “party, meet girls and talk looksmaxxing,” yet behind all the partying, socialising and mogging, Clavicular’s recent travels
MAKE MARRIAGE LAME AGAIN 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am currently staring at my screen with the distinct expression of someone who has just swallowed a wasp. A video pops up on my feed—completely unprovoked, entirely unhinged, and radiating pure, unadulterated brain rot:“It’s so nice to see her finding someone that’s so good for her, and it’s honestly just so nice to see for the rest of us,” a fan beams, ear to ear. “I feel like this is the American Royal Wedding.”The American ‘royal’ wedding appears to have constituted 500 cars to transport sai
