- Webcurios 13/11/26 - Reading Time: 35 minutes I’m in the curious position as I write this intro of having no idea how long this week’s Curios is going to sit in inbox limbo, held hostage by whatever fcukup is currently causing your work email to be fcuked into next week, and so as such I’m slightly-disinclined to put much effort into…

- Webcurios 06/11/26 - Reading Time: 37 minutes Something something throw the booky wook at him something something. WHAT A WEEK TO BE ALIVE! A Republican defeat in the mid-terms (now would you all fcuk off and be quiet for a while, America? We have, frankly, had quite enough of you over the past couple of years, maybe just take a quiet…

- Webcurios 30/10/26 - Reading Time: 37 minutes I confess that while I personally have no beef with crypto per se – other than my occasional angry recollection of how much I would be worth had I bought Bitcoin when I first wrote about it 15 years ago and it was worth thruppence – I can’t help but find it very, very…

- Webcurios 23/10/26 - Reading Time: 35 minutes I went to Thorpe Park on Monday with a godchild of mine – Thorpe Park is great, rollercoasters are ace, etc etc, but my main takeaway from the day was ‘wow are there an awful lot of young people in 2026 who have taken early-00s ‘Fred Durst’ as their fashion inspiration’ (that and “I…

- Webcurios 16/10/26 - Reading Time: 37 minutes While I appreciate you are all REELING from the latest revelations suggesting that Reform UK’s membership might in fact comprise SOME ACTUAL RACISTS, I had quite a weird experience this week which I am going to share with you instead of Doing Commentary (you’re welcome!). So as a result of Google’s slightly odd mechanics,…

- Webcurios 09/10/26 - Reading Time: 38 minutes WHY HELLO AGAIN HELLO! I *missed* you! No, really, I did; I even woke up at 6am last Friday in a sweaty panic that I had a Curios to write and no links to fill it with – this is my internal life, you see, SO RICH!! – and, well, what more proof do…

- Webcurios 25/09/26 - Reading Time: 34 minutes While I imagine that most of you delete this email unthinkingly every time it crops up in your inbox – no, really, I don’t mind, I know you’re busy and this is only the textual expression of my very soul you’re ignoring, don’t worry about it! – I like to imagine that there are…

- Webcurios 18/09/26 - Reading Time: 40 minutes WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE! Well, of course we are, this isn’t news, but thanks to AI – or at least the imaginary version currently taking up the space left by the Silicon Valley brainworms – it seems that the entirety of the media and political classes have decided to spend the past week…

- Webcurios 11/09/26 - Reading Time: 41 minutes It is frankly terrifying to me that we are 14 years from Danny Dyer’s seminal 11-year anniversary commemoration of 11/9 (look, it’s been 25 years, let’s reclaim the fcuking date structure shall we?) – SO LIKE SANDS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES, EH??? Anyway, I went to Helsinki (my main…

- Webcurios 28/08/26 - Reading Time: 38 minutes Hm, it does rather feel that Summer is now OVER – not, to be clear, that I am complaining about the fact that it is no longer threemillion degrees, but there’s been a feeling this week of the world rather rolling its sleeves up again and preparing to Get On With Sh1t, for better…
