clash of the tyrants + tracking internet trolls
you’ll never see this face again Hey you. Half of the office are currently sunning it up in Cannes at a certain globally renowned festival - check our Insta stories - but us lanyardless members still have our noses to the grindstone. We’re not bitter or anything. But less of that...

when music is so bad it’s good
Sometimes music releases can be so horrendously awful that they somehow go full circle and become enjoyable. Is this musical brain rot for the masses? Probably, but I don’t mind. Lil Wayne released ‘Tha Carter VI’ last week and the reviews have been…well…mixed, to say the least. The series has been...
Navigating the surprising religious boom of Gen Zers
Although the evidence is circumstantial and incomplete, many outlets have reported a rise in religious association from Gen Zers, especially young men. What’s causing the numbers to rise in both the UK and US and what could this mean for the future? For the last several decades, religious association and...

The Gen Z lawyers and students reforming big law firms
The rigid and overtly traditional business of law is subtly being reshaped by Gen Z lawyers and law students. Billable hours and a culture of overworking are ebbing away in many organisations, as work-life balance and an emphasis on personability come into play. The business of law is serious for a reason, but is there room to make the industry lighter and less reticent for workers and clients alike? Gen...
a tale of two cities
I basically live in both Bristol and London these days, bouncing between either on a monthly basis thanks to the expensive miracle of modern trains. It’s not exactly how I saw myself existing at nearly thirty, but it’s a typical reality for many younger millennials and Gen Zers. When I was in primary school, most of my class mates would probably have given you the same basic prediction for their...
