A thread on the 50 best fortifications to go and visit in the world according to me. They are all fun for at least one in the family. They are listed in reverse rank order as determined by how much fun, unique and awesome they are.

The strange shape of Liberal England, 2024 edition. Constituencies with more Lib Dem vs more Labour votes (ignoring other parties) are still largely divided by Watling Street (modern day A2/A5), a Roman road built almost 2000 years ago that divided Wessex and the Danelaw in 886AD

I'm from a 3rd world country and I made enough from Fartcoin that I can literally buy all houses on my street. I do not know how to cash so much out. I was drunk when I bought this coin cos I liked the name. Held it all, sold near the top and here we are.

The Times, Telegraph and FT all appear to have a policy of not linking to publishers when they take information from elsewhere, Press Gazette research reveals. Poor form and not good for the news ecosystem/original journalism. BBC is not great either. pressgazette.co.uk/publisher…

Great chart from @AinslieJstone and @LloydPa77648353 packed with insights:

• Nixon/Ford and Clinton/Bush are the same ages
• Biggest age increase was Obama to Trump
• Biden is old

Financial advice I see on here for US vs. UK residents:
US: Max out your 401(k), diversify with index funds, and use a Roth IRA ladder
UK: if you only run your washing machine at 10pm and you only shop at Aldi on Thursdays, you can save an average £51 a year

What’s fascinating about the Journalism +AI deals currently rolling through the industry is that they represent a fissure between the interests of publishers and journalists. Previously deals with tech companies have been (maybe wrongly) viewed as aimed at ‘supporting journalism’

Yeah, we are making likes private.
Public likes are incentivizing the wrong behavior. For example, many people feel discouraged from liking content that might be "edgy" in fear of retaliation from trolls, or to protect their public image.
Soon you’ll be able to like without worrying who might see it. Also a reminder that the more posts you like, the better your For you algorithm will become.

The age of the “millennial lifestyle subsidy”, where VC-backed companies offered services below cost to take market share, ended years ago. But there’s one part of the tech world that hasn’t yet received the memo: crypto.
