🚜 This week saw protests against proposed changes to inheritance tax on farms.

But there’s been disagreement over how many farms might be affected.

We take a look at the different figures circulating.

It has occurred to me that I have recently increased my use of the word “hella” for some reason and I need to remind myself that I am not, in fact, a 90s-era Bay Area rapper and I should get that shit under control.

Everyone telling me to keep saying it doesn’t understand what a betrayal it is to my 90s-era East Coast roots.

Here is a very easy one that will work well in a Trump White House: wear a red tie and express how it's in good taste. Talk about how red ties are a mark of a sophisticated dresser. I can tell you from having been with him on a forum that this will make him incredibly annoyed.

I have a whole list of things like this. Tell him you're going to get a gray flannel suit with patch pockets. Or confidently assert that Hermes ties are the best. These small comments will add up, chip him down day by day. By the third month, he will blow up in front of Trump and come off unhinged

there’s an uptick in accounts term searching to reply spam with propaganda/disinfo, especially in response to pro-trans content but resisters are also doing it to be shitheads.

something to be aware of & stay on top of.

can confirm! the shit i was only seeing on terrorgram in 2018 is now like.... bog standard everyday gop fare
obviously non-fash have also been exposed to increasingly noxious content, but it’s not something you’re inclined to agree with so it ends up being something you increasingly get sick of. but it used to be the stuff you see is only stuff folks who research fash would encounter in ugly spaces.
