CHRISTOPHER BEANLAND: SMALL PLATES RUINED MY LIFE

Christopher is fuming about sourdough, matcha, gentrification, hipsters, Love Island, pop culture, the media, Temu, Kazakhstan, Birmingham; and wondering if an unhealthy obsession with brutalist architecture is ruining his life? Also - when did we stop believing that the future would be better? Have we just given up on progress?
