The Emmy nominations have been revealed! HBO lead the pack with some of our favourite TV of the last year but it seems that Emily in Paris is still a thing. Why?

A great VOX read explores how trends have dissolved in this age of individualised media and expression and asks the question, are we cool anymore?

Annabel Crabb’s new TV series Ms Represented couldn’t have come at a more perfect time and we’ve binged it all. And what does the orientation of your toilet roll say about you? A lot, apparently.

Meanwhile we’re banging on about quitting, and Zan has been reading Final Revival of Opal & Nev.
