85% of wrong political opinions can be avoided simply by asking the question 'and what do you think the *other* person will do then?'

There's a certain scent of white supremacy to people who set their emojis to have a pale skin tone

Hundreds of holiday lets operating without planning permission in Edinburgh

YOU GUYS TRAINS ARE AWESOME WHY ARENT THERE MORE OF THEM

These franchise names are really getting out of control

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Worth noting — as most coverage omits it — that Peggie called Dr. Upton "a freak", "a weirdo" and "it". Peggie said she would like to post bacon to a mosque. Peggie reacted to news of deaths in flooding in Pakistan by saying "What goes around comes around, they've been flooding Britain for years."

Peter Hitchens, welcome to The War on Cars.

I for one welcome our new moistened bint overlords

Life was so much simpler before I was born and when I’m sleeping or under general anesthesia.

anyway COME SEE ME IN EDINBURGH

Roger Federer inducted into International Tennis Hall of Fame: "This is the greatest honour of my career, and i'm just so incredibly grateful" the Hall, 72, is reported to have said.

What people usual refer to as 'negative polarisation' should really just be called 'polarisation' because it is the normal case. I do however believe in 'negative moderation' - when someone you ostensibly agree with is *such* a bellend that you instinctively sympathise with your opponents.

yowza

That goose clearly has a fetish for being yelled at and I refuse to participate.

(Showing the barber a picture of me & him skipping hand-in-hand through a tulip field) Can I get something like this

Bike helmets should come with different wig attachments for different moods/weather conditions.

The point of the famous "drunk driving" dril tweet is still true without the word "drunk", but you guys aren't ready for this conversation.

Capitalism kinda feels like a game of monopoly a few guys are refusing to stop playing long after most other players have got bored.

Quite cool www.heraldscotland.com/news/2629500...

more than anything else, I'm worried FIFA have a half time in extra time show ready to go

The right only care when something affects them. Sadiq Khan needs a 24 hour detail, fuck all to say. Diane Abbot gets more abuse than all other MPs combined, fuck all to say. I wish they'd stop pretending he's not using the issue to legitimise his bungs. It's tedious

Just apologised to my cup of tea for forgetting about it. #britishstereotypes

That graph is a masterpiece.

an interesting story about economics and about economics

Another World Cup, another round of “the European dominance is collapsing!” after a couple of results...then another last eight dominated by Europe. The emergence of serious challengers from around the world, anticipated for decades, still hasn’t happened. www.nytimes.com/athletic/743...

I think 'mansion tax' is a good name

Again: how was a guy with no observable political skills and no allies, whom nobody liked or wanted, able to not only seize unquestioned control of the opposition but shitehouse his way to power with no plans for how to govern the country? Is that normal, does that happen in other democracies.
