Meta used to block auto DMs to new followers, now ManyChat’s “Follow to DM” can send a 1 time welcome message when someone follows (they must reply to continue). Is this the new growth hack, or the next spam wave?
Gen Z are spending less. Why? 👀 Read more on our Substack, The Gen Zer. Link in bio.
Want free product shoots without booking a studio? Use Higgsfield with a reference image and your product shot, then prompt it to place the product naturally into the scene so you can generate fresh marketing visuals fast. Is this a cheat code for small brands, or the beginning of the end for traditional product photography?
The 2026 Grammys felt less like an awards show and more like a live political moment. “ICE OUT” pins hit the red carpet, speeches called out the Trump administration and ICE, and Billie Eilish used her Song of the Year win to urge people to keep protesting. Should award shows stay “neutral”, or is silence already a political choice?
A lot of people are rewatching the Lucy Letby case through Netflix’s documentary, and the comments are split. Some viewers are questioning how the handwritten notes were framed, others are debating the medical testimony and whether certain research was misused or overstated. After watching it, did it strengthen your confidence in the verdict, or make you question it more?
The UK government just dropped free AI training for adults, and it’s actually practical. Quick modules on prompts, automating admin, and using AI at work, some take 20 minutes, and you get a digital certificate at the end. Is this a real skills upgrade, or just the government trying to future-proof the workforce without fixing the job market?
Is ‘Moltbook’ the future of social media or just a digital mirage? With claims of 1.5 million users, it’s hard to tell if the AI-only discussions are legit. Are we ready to put our trust in a platform where humans can’t even chime in?
Imagine tossing your recyclables and suddenly having a shot at winning £1,000. Would you be more likely to separate your waste? It seems the data says yes – who wouldn’t want to turn trash into cash?

Meta is launching an ad-free Instagram experience...for £2.99 a month. Users are outraged, with some threatening to leave the platform entirely. Are you opting in or out?
Can you believe that earning £100k isn’t enough to secure financial stability? Meet the ‘High Earners, Not Rich Yet’ crew – young Brits trapped by taxes and inflation. It’s time to rethink what 'wealth' really means.

Imagine getting handcuffed on a London high street for feeding pigeons. Not violence, not theft, just bread on the ground. Technically enforceable, culturally unhinged, and exactly why these moments go viral. Is this public safety, or policing compliance for the sake of it?

Over the past month or so, rapper Nicki Minaj has been causing controversy for pivoting toward right wing politics. In December 2025, she made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA's Amfest with Erika Kirk, declaring her support for Trump. She alluded to anti-trans sentiments and referred to the US president as 'dashing.' A month prior, she delivered a UN speech echoing Trump's unfounded claims that Christians were being exclusively persecuted in Nigeria. She also continues to post on social media reinforcing her new stance. The LGBTQ+ community that once championed her has reacted with understandable outrage, viewing this switch up as an abandonment of those who helped shape her career. Nicki's obvious grifting is in line with other ageing celebrities who want to utilise the attention and engagement that comes with conservative audiences. It helps too that the current administration rewards an anti-diversity, anti-acceptance approach to business and social issues. Whether Nicki's move to the right will benefit her long term, however, remains to be seen.
Imagine waking up from surgery fluent in a language you barely passed at school. Foreign language syndrome is real, rare, and wildly unsettling, your brain just pulls a hidden file and hits play. If your brain can “store” a language like that, what else is it hiding from you?
Create Netflix-level shows with just ONE prompt? AI video is about to blow your mind.
