- Webcurios 01/11/24 - Reading Time: 35 minutes The world’s either going to get maybe, possibly, a tiny bit better next week, or it’s going to get LOADS worse – EXCITING, ISN’T IT? I don’t know about you, but part of me quite wants to be put into a medically-induced coma until America gets its sh1t together. I am still Matt, this is…

- Webcurios 25/10/24 - Reading Time: 36 minutes It’s still, technically, Summer here in the UK, until Sunday morning at least – WHY AM I SO FCUKING COLD THEN? Yes, that’s right, we’ve reached that phase of the year when all I can seem to think about is how fcuking cold my fingers are when I am typing this fcuking thing, and whether…

- Webcurios 18/10/24 - Reading Time: 34 minutes HELLO I AM BACK HELLO! What have YOU done with the past few weeks of your life? I have singularly failed to take a holiday of any sort (how does one take a holiday from oneself? No, not ‘acid’, tried that), or indeed to really stop looking at the internet, but I have caught up…

- Webcurios 27/09/24 - Reading Time: 36 minutes It’s been astonishing this week to see exactly how badly a political party’s comms team can handle something – FOR FCUK’S SAKE, LABOUR PARTY COMMS PEOPLE, IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS DIFFICULT. Also, the past seven days’ succession of embarrassing revelations and gift-related gaffes have somehow managed to achieve the unthinkable and made me feel genuine…

- Webcurios 20/09/24 - Reading Time: 33 minutes I ought to be in Slovenia right now, hanging out with nice internet people and thinking about nice internet things, but instead I am in my kitchen in London, in my pants, a bit tired and hungover and generally feeling quite resentful at the fact that things like ‘needing to earn money to eat’ have prevented…

- Webcurios 13/09/24 - Reading Time: 33 minutes Sincere thanks to all of you who emailed me last week to, er, check that I wasn’t about to do some sort of internet-induced harm to myself – don’t worry! If I do *that* I’ll put the livestream link in that week’s Curios so that ‘MY COMMUNITY’ can join in the fun! (seriously though, it’s…

- Webcurios 06/09/24 - Reading Time: 36 minutes I went to the seaside last weekend, to visit an old friend of mine who lives there with his partner and child, and who has an allotment, and who is pretty much the least-online person I know, and I looked at his life and thought ‘yeah, ok, fine, leaving aside the kid, I am…jealous?’ For…

- Webcurios 30/08/24 - Reading Time: 34 minutes HAPPY LAST FRIDAY IN AUGUST, EVERYONE! That’s right – it’s basically all over, it’s all mist and mellow fruitfulness from hereon in (apart from those of you reading this in the antipodes – thanks Rosie! Does this satisfy your hubris?), but thankfully this edition of Curios is PACKED FULL OF SUNSHINE and will possibly extend…

- Webcurios 23/08/24 - Reading Time: 37 minutes So it turns out that going clubbing is still fun, even in middle age! Ok, so I still feel a *bit* like someone has scooped out all my innards and replaced them with sawdust and nails, and I’m hoping the ringing in my ears will stop soon, and I don’t really understand why all the…

- Webcurios 16/08/24 - Reading Time: 37 minutes Look, I need to be honest with you – I am VERY VERY TIRED. For reasons literally none of you need or want to know about, this has been a week of relatively-minimal shuteye and as such I have written what follows through a general fug of insomniac incomprehension – can we all pretend that…
