Field notes
The homepage is structured as a numbered edition: one lead item, a set of shorter “main stories,” and an archive intended to preserve older shocks. Its five supporting headlines keep the setting close to ordinary Cork routines, including supermarket exits, school-run traffic, grocery purchases, and undersized beer cans. The publication states that new stories should appear every few days, while the archive currently reports that no old shocks are available.
