wondering a little if it's "reality" or just "britain" that's scripted by the lads

There's been a TikTok trend of late in which americans discuss their experiences getting held up by roadmen while visiting the UK—pretty consistently, everyone describes them as, frankly, not scary. The manner of dress scans as not quite intimidating—too clean, often skinny, more eccentric than frightening. Frequently they fail to even steal anything. There's lots of emphasis on the kind of fresh and vivid feeling of being in a dispute with someone and being sure they don't have a gun. No need to panic, maybe it's even worth getting in a bit of a scrap. Worst they can possibly do is stab you—so much better than having your brains blown out that it doesn't feel like a real risk.

I saw one today that described a roadman whose weapon of choice was a stick—someone please tell me that's an exaggeration, right? Nobody is doing robberies armed with a stick?

Depends how big the stick is and whether the wood is already rotten or still nice and strong, I guess?

Iranian Ex-Official Supports Porn Star’s Stance On Israel

An advisor to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the Islamic Republic stands by anyone who fights against Israel, even if that person is a porn star.

Could be something from The Onion:

"We welcome any moral support in our ongoing global fight against Zionism", said the Grand Ayatollah. "Even it comes from the Lebanese-American ex-porn star Mia Khalifa, who became the most searched-for performer on PornHub within two months of shooting her first scene in 2014 and was voted the world's #1 porn star by users of the same website the following year, although we obviously can't condone such un-Islamic depravity."

It's probably a trendy thing due to the 'Backrooms' craze a couple of years ago.

Either that or the cost of renting an apartment is now a complete joke for anyone on a remotely normal income.

Story out of Cali recently. Most readers just impressed that they did the entire job of the conversions—two homes, with kitchenette, bedroom, etc—for under $50k combined.
