Putting the tax burden on those with the fewest lawyers and political donations, rather than the broadest shoulders.
“The OBR estimates that 780,000 more people will be brought into paying income tax in 2029/30. Are those the people with the broadest shoulders?”

One of my biggest problems with Windows is that there's a whole series of industry-standard programs I absolutely need to have and which can't run on Linux.
This Windows AI crap can go to hell. Stupid bubble can't burst quickly enough.

Seeing what Microsoft is doing to Windows confirms one of my biggest concerns with AI.
These companies have spent so much money on each other pretending "autocomplete with extra steps" is necessary that they're now forcing it into everything for good or ill and giving no one an opt-out.

Whereas the top wolves are basically just acting like parents and making sure everybody’s got food and letting the cubs crawl all over them.
Honestly, the most wolf-like people around are mom friends and the dads who check your oil and sneak jumper cables into your trunk.

Always hard to wake from a night of butterfly dreaming.
“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. ”

Kier, your makeup is running.
I particularly liked the line in your Today interview noting "That's why I've gone out to look at schemes where businesses are supporting people back into work from long-term sickness."
Pure comedy.

The sky is on fire; my eyes open.
Waking from another night,
of butterfly dreaming.
My wings, of air and clouds,
cut with last lines of faded moonlight,
carry me through the first breath,
and solid Earth tugs me down.

That love that comes from underneath, inside
It comes with all smiles and sorrows aboard
From near, yet feels like from far
That unknowing love from self, worthy (but feels not)
Unbidden, it lingers, until washed away
By the tide of the world, roaring its idiot joy

Happy to be here, as the bird app is becoming increasingly unpleasant. Many thanks to the blessed person that threw a ladder over the wall so I could escape.
