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?

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.

Succession cosplay in a republic. Cover deeds, not dynastic fantasies.

Bar(r)on is not the news
A roast of heir-watch headlines. If there is no policy and no action, it is not news. Stop using the son to puff the…
One roast at a time
No spam. No motivational soup. Just the latest receipt when it is ready.
