Sometimes TikTok throws us an absolute timeless gem

Call me a Georgist if you must, but one of the key moves we need to implement a much fairer tax policy in this country is to disaggregate the value of buildings and the land they occupy and tax the former properly. Land Tax was abolished in 1963, but bringing it back is well overdue.

And besides, not in the UK they don’t

Richard Spencer didn’t when he got nailed and that was glorious

We don’t punch racists as much as we used to. That’s needs to change

My daughter saw me eat a KitKat and I don’t snap the figures apart, I just bite into both like a normal chocolate bar. She’s now demanding to be taken into foster care

Blood spilled in Sudan can be seen from space. Nobody can feign ignorance about what’s going on | Nesrine Malik The massacres carried out by the RSF in El Fasher, Darfur, with the support of its UAE sponsors, will only stop when the international community acts, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

This from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social is a clear and horrifying explanation of the atrocities underway in El Fasher. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In a classic tale of 'peaking too soon', Reform's anti-immigrant bashing is starting to wear thin with the polling, so now they're going after benefit claimants.

Presumably they'll just keep cycling through all marginal groups from now till the next election? Strap in, it'll be wild.

I'm not an economist, but I can only assume that metal detectors at UK train stations would crash the economy so bad it'd make 2008 look like a blip.

Stage of the Hammersmith Apollo, bathed in a purple light with a huge screen showing the title 'Terminator Live', with the instruments of the band on stage (without the musicians) underneath

Saw Terminator Live last night at the Hammersmith Apollo - the 'band' was full of metallic percussionists and some synths. Easy to forget how 'industrial' the original soundtrack was, but live, it's amazing how evocative & emotional it is. Recommended!

The fact that one of the most homophobic players in the premier league is called Idrissa Gueye - pronounced GAY - will never not be funny

This isn't 'bad optics', it's the whole damn point. They want to be seen to be living up while the majority starve because it amplifies their dominance over us. They're doing it because they can bank on our apathy.

I wonder if the pedestrianisation that these 'renders' envision would restrict access to Dixons?

(yes, I know Partridge was from Norfolk, but it's where my mind went, sorry)

Just your regular reminder that cars are 2-ton killing machines and should be treated as second class citizens in any space where there are humans.

*in my best Simpsons college geek voice* I wouldn't call T2 a horror film

Want a horror film that is actually left wing critique this Halloween? The top 5 are:

5. Candyman: critique of white academic liberalism

3. Get Out: post-racial society is a myth
2. Jaws: the shark is capitalism
1. Alien: men are shit
