Love #26

Love #26

Is culture actually stuck, or have we just lost the ability to see past the loop?

Deepfakes warp our sense of reality. Algorithms curate our desires, distort our truths, stoke division, and send us spiralling into ragebait rabbit holes. Emotions are heightened, overstimulated, optimised for engagement. Do we laugh? Do we cry? Or do we just keep scrolling?

Through the noise, humour has always emerged not as escapism, but as a knife. A secret weapon. Perhaps the last honest language we have left.

This issue of LOVE isn't just about being funny. It's about humour as a call to action, as confession, as the last place where truth can still slip through. In a world that feels endlessly policed and polarised, comedy refuses to bow. And maybe that's exactly why it's time to get DEAD SERIOUS.
