It’s not Red Pill ideology that courses through the veins of 'Adolescence', but a banal criminological reality . Content Warning.
The conclusion that mainstream media has drawn about Netflix’s Adolescence – its ostensibly menacing commentary on toxic masculinity – is much like the prevailing sentiment that animates the social media sphere whenever a stirring legal case is brought to the fore of public consciousness: at once impassioned and sorely misguided.

Women's Work Hidden by Patriarchy and Capitalism: Honoring Historical Craftsmanship Contributions
We exist in a time when the gender pay gap is expanding. Recent studies indicate that women earn less than men, and the pandemic has exacerbated the pay gap in various nations. This disparity continues because there are fewer women in high-paying leadership roles and because women predominantly work in lower-paying industries. Yet, there are even more subtle and harsh reasons contributing to the gender pay gap. Historically, women’s work has been undervalued, resulting in unequal pay for comparable jobs between genders. Although this practice is gradually decreasing, it still exists.

"End of the World"
Every time we are about to vote in the presidential election where Trump is a candidate (third time now, hopefully a charm to get him out of politics), I remember the "End of the World" episode of Trackdown that is eerily similar to our today's reality.

The Impact of Interest Rate Cuts on the United States Dollar, Global Markets, and Bitcoin
The Federal Reserve has a number of powerful instruments at its disposal, one of the most important of which is the choice to reduce interest rates. During periods of economic unpredictability, cutting interest rates can be an effective way to boost growth by lowering the costs of borrowing money for both consumers and businesses. There are, however, benefits and drawbacks associated with interest rate reductions, and the ramifications extend beyond the borders of the United States, having an effect on markets throughout the world as well as alternative assets such as Bitcoin. In this essay, we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of lowering interest rates, with a particular emphasis on the ways in which this affects the economy of the United States, stock markets throughout the world, the United States dollar, and Bitcoin.

The World According to Laurence Fox
I’ll level with you from the outset; I’ve never really liked Laurence Fox. Well, that’s a lie, as I always enjoyed his portrayal of Sgt Hathaway in Lewis. I wish he’d stuck to that sort of thing. Ever since his foray into politics with his car crash of an appearance on Question Time, he just hasn’t been my cup of tea. Which is interesting because he’s often put into a “camp” of sorts with people who I do have a lot of time for, i.e. those who believe in free speech, old-fashioned liberalism, challenging authorities/narratives, scepticism, disdain of all major political parties and how they’re so similar to each other etc. etc.
