God Thank The Queen

A startup that makes the… strangest case for the metaverse we’ve yet heard. The British political establishment proposing a response to a crisis that won’t approach any of its causes or effects. A columnist proposes a negotiated settlement between Britain and reality that turns on gratitude to the royals. It’s TF!

Upload, the corporate meta verse afterlife TV series, also has a haptic suit rental shop which may be the most disgusting thing imaginable. Much like Alice I also never want to be shot or stabbed.

The TF gang coming around to my old take that if you describe the Soviet Union in parts, including the capricious king-like figure hoarding power and wealth, then reactionaries would love it.

Most powerful parasocial vibe l've ever felt was seeing OWO written up in the FT, thinking "That's a TF-ass startup, someone should tell Riley", and subsequently thinking "l'm pretty sure he's got this covered".

After causing a massive slowdown at a Waitrose by trying to pay with a 50 note it became a life goal to try and pay with a Scottish 100 note down south.
