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.
Profit in banners, pennies in pockets
Companies cheer record profits. When asked for pennies more in wages, the crying starts.
AGI promised, autocorrect delivered
They promised AGI. We got chatbots that forget what they said three lines ago. The spark may come, but the circus is loud.
K-everything, K-flat? Keep the flame, lose the formula
The world loves K-everything. Lately it sounds like everyone else. Keep the Korean flame. Ditch the global beige.
Two exes, one dream, zero peace
When your ex-wife and ex-girlfriend co-host your dream, it’s not fate. It’s your brain doing late-night admin. Laugh, learn, sleep.
Bots welcome. People on probation.
Community “guidelines” that feel like community control. The hive loves harmony. Real people are messy.
Golden spoons, silver titles, wooden results
Boardrooms are not thrones. If the job is inherited, prove the work. Count results, not surnames.
Work till the coffin? Raise the pension age again
Raising the pension age looks tidy on a spreadsheet. On building sites, hospital wards and shop floors, it looks like “work till the coffin”.
Scapegoats at the gate, billions out the back
When migrants fill the headlines, the real leaks go quiet. Count the numbers. Follow the money. Toss the scapegoats.
Child safety, adult ID checks, and the creeping gate
Protect kids, yes. But ID-at-the-gate for everyone is poor design. Keep safety in the home, privacy by default, and checks on power.
One roast at a time
No spam. No motivational soup. Just the latest receipt when it is ready.
