I would say: The Stranglers' No More Heroes, David Bowie's Heroes, or Modern World by The Jam ... but they were more likely my older brother and sister's choices. I would have, aged 7, probably gone for Daddy Cool by Darts!

I've been blaming memes for this, and I think it fits. A lot of the angriest people out there aren't actually consuming news, they're consuming news-flavored content, and the content is a funhouse mirror version of reality that they're mistaking for being real.

Poor guy got phished by email from "support@npmjs.help" bsky.app/profile/bad-...
Yep, I've been pwned. 2FA reset email, looked very legitimate.

@bad-at-computer.bsky.social Hey. Your npm account seems to have been compromised. 1 hour ago it started posting packages with backdoors to all your popular packages.

Yes, very much so. My son got into cycling during COVID, he enters himself into a race when lockdown restrictions lift. We turn up, I go off to pay for parking or something, I come back, he's joking around with these lads like old mates. Later "So, where do you know Huw and Spike from?" Instagram…
