Let’s not sugarcoat it: trying to rent in the UK in 2025 feels dystopian. Like you’re competing in a brutal hunger games reboot. Except the price is rocket high rent prices that will have you living paycheck to paycheck and expect you to be grateful. If you’re aged...

By now Bonnie Blue needs no introduction, but perhaps one of the thousand men who went to have sex with her does. He describes the event as a ‘meet and jeet’, and thinks the men that went are losers. We’re stripping it back (not so nude) to explore why Bonnie Blue profits from the patriarchy and why extreme content creation can be harmful in more ways than just physical. Strap in, (or on), as we put the story to bed once and for all.

Discover the world of lab-grown human ‘mini-brains’ and if whether they could lead towards a new sci-fi apocalypse or medical marvels.

For centuries, art has been a process, often slow, difficult, and deeply human. Learning anatomy, understanding light, and building a style — these are not barriers to accessibility. They’re the very bones of artistic expression. But in the age of AI, all that is being tossed out in favour of instant gratification and zero skill.

As generative AI reshapes how we create music, art, and code, a legal grey area is growing. Who owns work made by algorithms? And what happens when these systems are trained on human creativity without consent? Inside the legal chaos of AI, copyright, and the concerns...

Reality TV producers and broadcasters face growing scrutiny over their treatment of contestants, with regulations tightening behind the scenes. But once the camera stops rolling, who holds the audience accountable for demanding drama while ridiculing those who provide...

In the UK dads and non-birthing parents receive just two pathetic weeks of paternity leave, and that’s not just low, it’s insulting. It’s actually the worst in Europe, and we shouldn’t have to accept that.

There’s something darkly comical about handing over half your paycheck to live in a glorified shoebox with mystery stains and a front door that doesn’t fully close. But for most of us in our twenties, that’s not a quirky phase of adulthood — it’s the plan. Renting in...

You’ve done everything expected of you. You have a job. You might even have a shiny degree. But you still don’t have the keys to your own place. Turns out having a foot on both the housing and corporate ladder can be quite a stretch for independent, young women. So...

It’s a late Tuesday night and somewhere, in a dimly lit bedroom, a young man hunches over his laptop, scrolling through a forum full of people who hate women. They call themselves “incels”—short for “involuntarily celibate”—and they’re not just horny. They’re furious....

As more of us are funnelled into uni than ever before, it feels you can - and often need to - get a degree in almost anything. Brewing and Distilling? You could get a BSc in this - with honours. Taylor Swift? You can study her at none other than Harvard. Speaking of...
