Hello, readers. If you are readers, that is. Or are you AI? Perhaps I am, too. I'm Hallam Bullock, reporting to you from London, and welcome to my existential crisis.
Well, perhaps that is a little strong, but I've recently joined Elon Musk in mulling whether life is all just one big simulation.

Do you like thrifting, readers? Hello, I'm Emilia David, and I've made it a goal to shop secondhand as much as possible.
Shopping for second-hand items grew in popularity in the last few years. A new report from online consignment store ThredUp showed about 30% of Gen Z bought used items to afford high-end labels. It's not just a generational quirk, either. Heck, I furnished my apartment mainly with second-hand furniture.
