*PREVIEW* Stuff Is All You Need

Jan 17, 2025
The UK government's ambitious AI plan promises to predict potholes—before ignoring them, of course. Hilarious critiques emerge about new Australian laws aimed at reckless driving, juxtaposed with wild tales from the street racing scene. There's a satirical exploration of 'hoon' culture, examining what masculinity looks like in this context. Meanwhile, the discussion on cultural appropriation becomes a comedic lens through which identity and freedom of expression are reevaluated. A blend of humor and absurdity runs throughout.
