When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

It’s kind of incredible how long we’ve been forced to accept social media platforms that are openly hostile to their own users, suppress political content, and throttle third party links.

Apparently, taxing landowners for the first time at half the rate the rest of us pay and giving them 10 years grace to pay it (which we wouldn't get) is the politics of envy. (Only 6% of UK population will be liable for IHT) open.substack.com/pub/benjamin...

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

As the Trump reality hardens into something world-threateningly grim with a cabinet chock full of dangerously vindictive inadequates; including power-abusing billionaires, sex pests, conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, racists and climate deniers… Never forget who cheered this nightmare on…

Thoughts on "echo chambers." Twitter was one anyway and had, in fact, become a gigantic echo chamber in itself - full of racist arseholes shouting nonsense and sucking up to Musk. If I'm in an echo chamber, I at least want to be surrounded by intelligent people saying interesting things.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.
