Between 2015 and 2020, Eton College saw its assets rise from £445 million to £611 million – a 37% increase in a time when national inflation was 13%. In 2015, Eton’s annual income was £69.9 million, rising to £78 million in 2020.
But, sure, VAT is going to risk the citadel.

Can you afford to release your album on vinyl?
I work for a small vinyl pressing plant, our customers are mostly independent artists doing small-run pressings. My job is advising people on how it all works.
Here's a short thread outlining the very basic costs of pressing and releasing an album:

Do people know that nuclear doctrine is just a bit of paper with a vague promise on it? How much do we really trust Putin to follow through on any of his promises? Why is the threat to unleash nuclear apocalypse any different?

These massacres are intended partly to enforce Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing, and partly just for the sake of killing.
Israel's apologists no longer even pretending this is anything other than nihilistic mass slaughter.

Good cannot prevail against evil without your active participation. Voting is a civic duty but when that isn’t enough, your voices need to echo through the streets.

Sounds familiar…
Why are MAGA people still so angry at everyone online? They won. They’re getting the President they want back. The wokes have been defeated. Why are they still out there screaming at strangers to debate them? It’s gotta be tiring to be completely incapable of ever feeling good.

As someone who left for other (family) reasons, this is right. The fascist movement is transnational. No place is safe.
Few thoughts for people who continually talk about leaving the country.
1. Not everyone has that option or the resources and that’s not their fault.
2. In terms of solidarity it communicates you won’t be an ally if things get bad.
3. This is a worldwide movement. You can’t escape it.

Let the @Bundeskanzler phonecall be the last dying breath of the failed strategy of trading land for "peace" with a genocidal dictator. History keeps telling us that true peace can only be achieved through strength.
