Starmer to Impose Nightly Social Media Curfews on 16- and 17-Year-Olds — While Handing Them Right to Vote


🚨 NEW: Under-16s in the UK will be banned from the following 10 social media apps TikTok YouTube Snapchat Instagram X Reddit Facebook Twitch Kick Threads

Controversial Are scalpers the reason this hobby is alive? Not metaphorically. Literally. If we look at the photos people post of Pokémon sitting on Target shelves in 2019. Stacks of it. Untouched. Nobody fighting over it. Nobody streaming it. Nobody refreshing a page at midnight for it. Why were the shelves full? Is it because nobody wanted it? Then the scalpers showed up and did the one thing the Pokémon Company never could: they made it feel scarce. They made it feel valuable. They turned a kids’ card game into something that felt like it mattered, and the second something feels like it might be worth chasing, everyone wants in. But here’s the part nobody admits. It was never really about the resale. It’s about the kid who now begs to go to Target every week. The wife who started pulling packs “just to see.” The girlfriend who has her own binder now. The group chat that lost its mind over a drop. Scalpers gave us something to look forward to together — and something to complain about together. That’s not a market. That’s a community. And it didn’t exist when the shelves were full. We hate them. And yet we’ve never had more fun. Yeah it’s a pain in the you know what to hunt these days, but I can truly say that I’m having fun making memories with my family through Pokemon
