Latest Roasts
Fresh nonsense, checked with sources before the roasting begins.
- Great Art Takes Years Because the Present Is Busy Shopping
A dry roast on why great art, books and brands often need decades to reach people, while the present keeps asking for instant proof and fast applause. - AI Keeps Failing Small Tasks, Then Demands Big Trust AnywayAI adoption stalls because users do not need more hype. They need tools that can do simple tasks correctly before touching production code safely now.
- The Rest Is Politics: Leading, One Clean Political TableA Hermit recommendation for The Rest Is Politics: Leading, the rare British political show that still asks clean questions in a dirty room full of smoke.
- Charity Theatre for Billionaires, Hell for War ChildrenA sense check on rich-world charity theatre, war children, aid cuts and the strange belief that heaven can stay gated while hell burns next door on Earth.
- Mortal Kombat II: IMAX Blood, Arcade Brain, Fine EnoughMortal Kombat II gets the IMAX roar, Johnny Cage jokes and game nostalgia right, while proving a button-mash plot can still earn applause.
- South Korea Loves K-Culture, But Polices Women’s DressesMoon Ga-young’s Baeksang dress became bait for an old habit: praising K-culture while treating women’s freedom as a wardrobe emergency in public life.
