I object on entertainment value reasons because we might get fewer of those "I own a small private island in the Caribbean but this 1p tax now means I have to decide between food or heating" or "I bought my London flat through hard work, frugal living and 30 generations of inherited wealth" posts.

The cognitive dissonance on display from some UK Bluesky accounts in their reactions to these two events has been a wonder to behold. Some very funny contortionism being deployed.

Didn't Trump make up an executive order declaring the US border to be a military base. Sounds like more of that nonsense.

This line would be a lot funnier if people weren't just repeating the same errors of judgement today as they did back then. The populism virus sweeping the country is as virulent and harmful as ever.

It won't be long before such pseudonyms will be used to conceal AI written stories (if they haven't already started doing this) rather than unnamed human authors ghost-writing for a fixed fee.
