Hey Zack, really love what you're doing. Finally someone addressing people's real needs who isn't a right wing racist, Russian puppet or in the oligarchs' pockets.

However, could you please communicate realistic and evidenced plans for taxing the ultra wealthy, their companies and their assets?

Sad to hear that Freddie the cat, AKA the Mayor of Shawlands, has gone over the rainbow bridge at the grand old age of 20. A kenspeckle figure around Skirving St, he'd bless the chosen few by selecting their car bonnet or roof for an afternoon snooze.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

I now also have to take the time to correct junior engineers who have presented incorrect LLM output as fact, when they could’ve gone to the ample source documentation, or run their own quick test to get the truth.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Lots of coverage today on these new government proposals to reform the alcohol licensing system.

I can see an inherent popular appeal to allowing pubs to stay open later, but I have a lot of thoughts about why these plans are an extremely bad idea..
