Dropshipping or Total Nonsense? How Gen Z are apparently making their fortunes with eCommerce

No doubt, you’ll have bumped into these chatterboxes on YouTube. Extroverted, flashy, young and seemingly expert on all things business – they claim to have made their life-changing fortunes, all thanks to dropshipping. Conveniently, they have video courses and eBooks for sale which enable you to be like them! Funny how that works, eh. Photo by Hanna Pad on Pexels.com You’re probably about 2…

The Malthusians Have Become Strategically Quiet

The Modern-Day Malthusians Have Become Strategically Quiet Conspiracy theories haven’t helped, but the depopulation folks are quietly waiting, perhaps wisely for their corner, while Elon Musk undesirably embodies the opposite. Without pushing the overton window too much on the old climate thing (for it is a nuanced issue that needs to be handled terribly carefully), until a few years ago…

UK Premiere dates for World Dramas in January 2026

Big Tech's fave PR trend: take a dump on Apple + maybe sue them = get some free publicity?

They say cream rises to the top. It’s an old British idiom to describe how the most nutritious part of the milk and thus the best, separates itself from what is weak and liquid. What has this got to do with Apple? Cream is full of essential fats and amino acids. So in applying this to Apple’s out performing status as a technology monarch, we might also be reminded of that other thing which is…

Is Google dying?

George Washington vs Google Gemini vs Sundar Pichai Everyone’s calling for Pichai’s head on a plate again. How the mighty fall. At least, if we were talking about definitive dissolution, Google has only really managed to shoot itself out of a cannon into a soft cushion with the latest AI “bungle”, wherein user requests for various historical figures would occasionally, via Google Gemini,…

Do you really care about mental health - or are you just following a trend?

Only caring when it’s about getting those likes. Like all fads, the bottom often falls away from the most shallow followers. Mental health awareness has become commonplace – but true understanding and tolerance still has not. Or actually, have things really, truly changed? There is a body of research which suggests that things have changed for people who live with anxiety, depression, and even…

AI and the Ethics of Writing - Why It Matters Now

You’d be forgiven for thinking AI had already eaten the world’s writing jobs. The YouTube and Insta deluge of Get-Rich-Quick-By-Offering-AI-Copywriting-Services content has been both prolific and comfortless, at least for bloggers and writers. The rise in AI-written content appearing online in a matter of mere months — content which lifts, copies, synthesises articles without credit nor…

JJ ROSA - PANDORA | SINGLE REVIEW

JJ ROSA – PANDORA | SINGLE REVIEW

Ferociously talented, JJ Rosa is a UK artist with unmatched talent and skill, based in London. New single ‘Pandora’ is a souful, head-bopping, gorgeous celebration of falling completely head-over-heels for someone, and into the point of no return. It basically sounds like what would happen if you squeezed everything juicy out of the West Holts stage at Glastonbury. ‘Pandora‘ is an R&B/Rock…

THE PALE WHITE - MEDICINE | SINGLE REVIEW

THE PALE WHITE – MEDICINE | SINGLE REVIEW

Infectious, grunge-infused pop rock is tough the write, tough to get right. The Pale White make it sound and look like it were the easiest thing in the world. ‘Medicine’ is The Pale White’s breakthough track and it has had raucous support (helps being radio-friendly) – and it’s deserved. With more than a nod to early noughties indie rock, The Pale White thrash about somewhere between The Vines…

CIVIL SERVICE - POST ROCK… IN MANCHESTER!

CIVIL SERVICE – POST ROCK… IN MANCHESTER!

Post rock hasn’t had it’s heyday yet – nor at all, really. Long, long songs that borrow from traditional and experimental rock genres which usually (but not always) have no vocals nor lyrics. See, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So even the act of being post-rock is an act of rebellion. That’s why it’s refreshing to hear about the very existence of Civil Service, a post-rock band from…

DES ROCS - GIVE ME THE NIGHT | SINGLE REVIEW

DES ROCS – GIVE ME THE NIGHT | SINGLE REVIEW

Des Rocs is back with ‘Give Me The Night‘, another killer notch for this hipster on a mission to write relentlessly danceable blues rock for the 2020s. If you’ve been living under a rock (who can blame you); you’d be forgiven for thinking Des Rocs is part of the Cool France school of musicians that breaks English-speaking markets. No. Actually, this kid is Danny Rocco, one of the duo Secret…

MISSIO - SING TO ME | SINGLE REVIEW

MISSIO – SING TO ME | SINGLE REVIEW

So yeah, we finally know Hideo Kojima’s game-epic, Death Stranding, is creepy. Also yeah, it makes sense for synthwave / dark electro infused Missio, to take centre stage within the game’s soundtrack with ‘Sing To Me’. And now it looks like they have discovered a whole new audience in the process. Not that they needed a whole new audience. These guys are big, but now they are truly blowing up.…

Hey, Millennial: Your Nonchalance is Showing

Too much money on avocado toast! Millennials change their jobs too much! They’re all choosing to be childless and mindlessly think that plants are children! Millennials get a lot of schtick for being superficial, shallow, benign, or even having funny characteristics. For the vast majority of world-weary, tired and wide awake millennials who can’t afford homes folks, these are the usual…

Dear BBC - please help kids without the internet in this pandemic.

Dear BBC – please help kids without the internet in this pandemic.

Dear Director General Tim Davie, The BBC is an institution of public service, made by public funding, and built for public use. Over and above the vanity rhetoric that the BBC faces on a daily basis about it’s very existence, I would ask a more probing and specific question: why isn’t the BBC using its televisual and radio broadcasting power to help raise the millions of children in digital…
