Always remember to act your Wage

29 Jun 2025 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I found a meme on Instagram the other day. The point of the meme was, you have to act your wage, which is obviously a wordplay between the well-known expression 'act your age' and, well, wage. It made me realise I often didn't act my wage in the pas...

Remember IRL, the social media startup that faked everything?

I'm gonna unlock this memory for you. About two years ago, IRL went bust. It was a social media startup which, at some point, raised hundreds of millions of dollars. By 2021, it had reached a valuation of $1.17 billion, which means it was a unicor...

I briefly dated somebody I immediately fell in for - like a teenage crush - after watching a YouTube video in which said person, let’s call this person Singer Turned Bodybuilder, covered one of my favourite songs. Yes, I’m one of those people. I wat...

Air India employees were filmed partying in the office, just a few weeks after the Air India crash that killed around 270 people. The video went viral, people were outraged, and some of the staffers got fired. Everyone has different opinions. Some...

I got to my second favourite city in Europe at 5.30 in the afternoon. It was colder than I expected, but the sun was out, which is statistically not particularly common around here. I was tired. But it was still just the beginning of my day. I had h...

There's a lot to unpack. Everyone has an opinion on Donald Trump, and everyone has an opinion on Joe Biden. But what's truly interesting is I've just seen Trump do something I never saw any other U.S. President do. Actually, I heard him and saw hi...

I'm three for three so far. So far, I've had three flights cancelled/delayed on me, and I was compensated all three times. As many people know, you're entitled to compensation if your flight's delayed by more than three or six hours, or if it's can...

I'm now in one of my favourite cities in the world on business. The flight was paid for, as was the hotel, but I've snuck in an extra four days in the country to go to a different city I like, to catch up with friends, and obviously that's on me. T...

Quality is art, quantity is science

My mentor once told me when it comes to content, quality is art, but quantity is science. Translated, it doesn't really matter how good you are, the more content you put out there, the better. I think YouTube is a great example. I follow YouTubers...
