Roast of the Day
The roasts take a current claim, film, product, institution or public performance and ask the impolite but useful question: does any of this make sense? Each article separates the judgement from the evidence, checks the important factual claims and leaves the sources in view. Expect dry British satire, modern incentives and the occasional three-panel sketch. Start with the newest receipt or use the topic links to narrow the archive.
