This is the era they want isn’t it?
In 1913 we did not Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the EITC, SNAP or much else of a social safety net. Life expectancy was about 52 years. If this is the era they want to go back to, lets hear about all of it.
Trump: "In 1913 they traded to the income tax system. We used to be all tariff. And we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913. We had more money than anybody."

Had occasion to go on twitter and my word the discussion on the future of racing and the unholy alliance that is trying to save racing from the evil clutches of hyper global megacorp casino would be incredibly funny if it wasn't actually serious. I really hope they get all they want tbh.

No. This is too American.

Can’t be too careful

This is just so incredibly correct. Just check out of the daily news flow. It’s not helping you and you’re an unwitting pawn in the game.
A big lesson from Trump 1.0 is you can drive yourself absolutely mad trying to keep up with the daily noise and not actually be any better informed.
What happened last time, Canada edition.

Right. Let’s never speak of that again.

Wales are 25/1 to win tonight and you can’t even call it value. I know the 90s are back in fashion but I could have done without it extending to Welsh rugby tbh

Every now and again I go and have a look at the old place and it's just a radicalisation machine now. I am sure this place is a bit of a comfortable hiding place, a safe bubble, but twitter is just going to chew up and spit out so many people now.

I really can't with this anymore...

Hospitals around the country collapsing under the weight of A&E overflow caused by primary care underfunding and a lack of beds due to social care underfunding and everyone is rabid about grooming gang cases from two decades ago.

Please stop asking me to review stuff. I beg you. I can’t face an email inbox of 20 emails asking for me to review my recent parking experience.

Shame there isn’t more racing on today. Looks like my annual donation to the Denise Coates Foundation will be a record amount anyway

Very late to the party on the new Gambling Commission data but seen a few people talking about how racing betting is in crisis and there is a huge black hole in finances and so on but if you look at actual revenues not turnover, which is in part a function of overround, then guess what?

My son used to be into genuinely good music on Spotify but is now actively seeking out Justin Fletcher versions of tracks and this feels like an horrific inflection point

Not sure if anyone on here is interested in gambling industry nonsense, but one thing I've noticed last few months is just how much UK sports betting is losing its hold on the market

Sports betting no matter what anyone tells you is still massive, but its standing still while slots is growing.

I’ve not seen a single advert for Gladiator 2 but I’ve seen more of Paul Mescal than I have my own family the past couple of weeks. I swear he’s every third instagram post

It’s a shame that wales have stopped playing international rugby but there we go. Never mind. Was fun while it lasted.

Morning. Time to try this thing out I guess with one of the great questions that has been plaguing me since I left the other place.

Is it more psychopathic to eat toast or cake with a knife and fork?
