Ok Boomer. It’s simple, succinct and already people say its ageist in its use and the old people equivalent of a racial slur. Screw that. If we’ve endured years of ridicule then it’s time for Boomers to get a taste of their own medicine for once, something that the Internet has been brilliant at. Here’s a brief taste of the best meme of the year:.

Held twice a year, London’s Movie Comic Media expo may have started life as a single day event in 2001 but right now it’s an entire weekend of fun that runs the course of three days.

This week, the dread of rolling blackouts returned as Eskom announced that load-shedding was back.

Comments Off on The sensational cosplay of New York Comic Con 2019

The cosplay year, she is coming to an end.
