In Defence of Light Entertainment  

This is my ode to the productions that aren’t deemed sophisticated enough to be included in the conversation around ‘film’. This is my ode to YouTube, and children’s media.  I use YouTube more than I use any other streaming service, and I am constantly amazed by what independent creators come

THE ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM

Swipe.   Next reel.  Swipe.   Next Tik Tok.  Again. Again. Again. Again. It never ends. The algorithm feeds you more. It gives you what you want. It gives you what you don’t want but can’t help but watch. It chooses, out of a million billion videos, what you watch next. And

Sports Centre – Issue 18 2025

Amira Attempts to Understand Sport So, I am what one would call a self-proclaimed ‘couch potato’. I have done sports such as cricket and football (football not soccer you can fight me on that), but the majority of the time my exercise is centered around walking to the bus stop.
