Watching BBC Breakfast for the first time in ages. My God! I would say the intellectual target level of the content is akin to early 90s Newsround. It's as though they are broadcasting to under-13s. Is our adult pop. really so daft?

The richest 10% own 57% of all wealth, but most of it isn't earned – it’s inherited or inflated by rising asset prices. Yet we tax income, not wealth. That’s not just unfair, it’s bad economics. But there are better solutions than wealth taxes | Stephen McNair @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Author Michael Moorcock: “You don’t fight chaos with law - You fight it with chaos - better chaos… “The aim is not to be nicer than them but smarter than them. When they go low - we go lower better! Otherwise we march into the camps with our noses in the air. Chaos engineers unite!”

UK spent more money than most countries on Covid pandemic help; ended with more sickness, mental health problems, life expectancy drop. Looted in frauds, contracts for cronies. Poor, already struggling suffered most. Govts still fuelling inequalities, making the poor vulnerable.

The president's latest interview puts to rest the longstanding question of whether he's knowingly lying or detached from reality. Of course, there's plenty of dishonesty mixed in. But Donald Trump appears to be delusional. New from @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...
