Alright, We are kicking off the 2026 by debugging the biggest glitch in our social software. You probably spent the holidays watching movies or bingeing series, and if you look closely, Hollywood has been trying to warn us about this “System Admin” problem for decades. XAXAXA Whether it is the forced structure of Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale or the… Read more →
Alrite! Ever feel like we, the mighty Gen X, are standing right on the edge of a massive, irreversible cliff? Like we’re the last ones to truly remember a world without constant digital pulses zipping through our brains, or tiny chips implanted under our skin? We grew up with VCRs and rotary phones, witnessed the birth of the internet, and… Read more →
Aight, you ever look up at the night sky from, say, your balcony here in Johor Bahru or wherever you are now reading this, and just wonder, ‘What’s out there?’ For us Gen X lot, we grew up glued to telly screens, watching Star Wars and Star Trek, dreaming of blasting off to distant galaxies. Even now, with all the… Read more →
Could influencers be the new priests of our age? Spreading gospel in the form of skincare, hustle culture, and conspiracy? Aight, let’s start with a confession — I once bought a RM200 face serum because an influencer said it made her “glow like peace and purpose.” Spoiler alert: I glowed like a “pisang goreng” instead.

Aight, I don’t usually talk about politics on my blog—except for that one rogue entry “Politic Explained,” which, let’s be honest, was a cheeky copy-paste job from somewhere XAXAXA. But this one feels too important to ignore. So buckle up, we’re diving into the messy, noisy, dangerously fascinating world of misinformation and democracy. Fake News, Real Consequences 📰💥 We used… Read more →
Aight, let’s talk about something that’s silently watching you. No, not ghosts. 👻 I’m talking about surveillance—CCTV, phone tracking, face recognition, and even your “smart” fridge giving away your ice cream habits. XAXAXA. In the name of national security and public safety, governments and corporations are collecting a lot of data. But here’s the million-dollar question: how far is too… Read more →
Aight, 🖤📺 let’s just say it—Black Mirror is back, and this time, it hits differently. Season 7 didn’t just deliver; it gave us that sweet, sweet closure we’ve been craving since we first spiralled into techno-paranoia all those seasons ago. For longtime fans like myself (a Gen X’er who remembers a time before smartphones ruined our lives, XAXAXA), this latest… Read more →
Aight, remember the good old days when waiting in line meant, well… just standing there? No doomscrolling, no notifications, no sudden urge to check if someone liked your three-day-old Instagram post. Fast forward to now, and we can’t even sit still for five seconds without reaching for our phones. Boredom used to be a normal part of life, but now?… Read more →
Alright, let’s be real—we’ve never had it this good. A world of endless possibilities is at our fingertips. Hundreds of streaming services, thousands of career paths, and dating apps filled with potential soulmates (or red flags, depending on your luck 💀). Yet, instead of feeling free, we’re more stressed, anxious, and indecisive than ever. 🤯🔀 Why? Because too much choice… Read more →
