Easy way to solve the farm IHT issue vis-a-vis the "but this farm has been in Bob's family for generations" line used by populist opponents: the new tax rules apply only to farming assets purchased by the deceased, while farming assets themselves inherited by the deceased retain tax relief.

Are people on this "cuck chair" meme being deliberately obtuse? The chair doesn't "face the bed". This is the most space-efficient way to place a chair in a room with a large bed while still enabling the user to, you know, get into and sit in it.

I've never read The Turner Diaries, but I know people who have. It is, by all accounts, a terribly written, dumb book. You think that the intellectual core of political movements are going to be these convincing, cult leader figures. But they're just people who tell you what you want to hear.

The platforms that have user reward programmes incentivizing creation of popular content (including bullshit, bait, and slop) … do they have any incentivizing accurate user reporting of spam, scams, fakes, misinformation, impersonations, ad violations, and other misconduct? If not, says a lot.
