Before everything lived in the cloud, life felt a little more hands-on. For Generation X, the pre-digital world wasn’t better in every way, but it had a charm that’s hard to replicate.

Looking back, it’s no surprise so many of us still feel nostalgic for the things we loved before everything went digital. Mixtapes That Meant Something A […]
US troops have moved 150 Islamic State prisoners from Syria to Iraq, part of plans that could see up to seven thousand detainees transferred across the border. The Syrian government under President Ahmed al Sharaa has been seeking to reassert control over the country, clashing with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces who previously held the northeast. The withdrawal of SDF troops has raised concerns over the security of around a […]

Is it just Monday blues, or is there more science behind our collective dislike of the day? 1. The Weekend Hangover Effect After two days of rest, socialising, and staying up later than usual, our […]
Ministers are launching a consultation on banning under-16s from social media after pressure from dozens of backbench MPs. The government initially opposed such a ban but has softened its stance and will now seek views on introducing an Australia-style policy. The consultation will also look at improving age assurance technology to enforce minimum age limits, assess whether the digital age of consent is too low, and examine restricting or removing […]
The 1990s were a golden era for music. For Generation X, it was a decade of guitar riffs, catchy choruses, and pop anthems that filled bedrooms, school halls, and local gigs. While 90s dance and disco dominated the clubs, it was rock and pop that defined the soundtrack for many of us—and some of those songs still have the power to make us get up and move today. 1. Oasis […]

Emergency services attended the scene. More than sixty Labour MPs have called […]
