Guide: Your Twenties

Welcome to the Decade of Disappointment The twenties are that magical span of time where you’re supposed to find yourself, build a career, fall in love, develop a personality, maintain glowing skin, save for a house, become a global citizen and, somehow, eat enough fiber. You enter this decade with light in your eyes and exit it with back pain, regrets and a haunted look you picked up around 28. The thing about your twenties…

Breaking: Girlfriend Who Said “I’m Fine” Was Actually Fine

World leaders are considering convening an emergency summit while boyfriends everywhere are left trembling in uncertainty...

Interview: Confessions of an Honest Politician

In a rare moment of professional integrity, a well-known politician agreed to an interview with that one condition: he’d actually tell the truth. No aides, no spin doctors, no pre-approved lines written by interns who think “accountability” is a fancy cocktail. Just one man, his ego and the faint smell of deceit masked by expensive cologne.

Guide: Moving, A Comprehensive Exercise in Human Misery

Interview: Man Shamelessly Uses Speakerphone in Public Transport

Darren Holcomb greets me with the same unapologetic smile he wore the day he became that guy on the subway.

Air Travel – An Honest Review

Planes. Need I say more? Of course I do! Planes are those flying tin sausages humanity cooked up to blast through the air at 900 km/h (550 mph for those who can't digest the metric system), packed tighter than a 19th-century orphanage and just as joyful. The marvel of aviation was born from one simple, unhinged human desire: defying physics while being served a curry in a microwave tray at 10 km in the air…
