He's one of Britain's richest men. So why does Asif Aziz's property company keep leasing London gift shops to overseas students based in abandoned offices or flytipped car parks — before vanishing without paying millions of pounds in taxes? www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...

New research finds that people “with both high psychopathy and low cognitive ability are the most actively involved in online political engagement”

How do autocrats stay in power?
Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

You don’t have to like video games to watch it. You don’t have to like Shakespeare or know Hamlet. It will help if you experienced lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, which I think the majority of people did.
