My last wordle with verse here on X. Continuing only on Bluesky. Reportedly, Musk has said, "If you're not with X, you're an Xile."
So I #Xit.
I hope you like the rhyme.

Here's a thing
"Asset rich but cash poor"
was a term used a lot yesterday referencing the Farmer's demo against inheritance tax.
Reminded me it's also used to describe elderly home owners, whose families are obliged to sell the family home to pay for the care of ageing parents.

In a stunning admission, Mike Johnson is willing to undermine the Senate and ram through Trump's cabinet picks with recess appointments. When I told y'all what the Enabling Act of 1933 was for Hitler, Project 2025 is for Trump, I wasn't joking. ๐ณ๐

How many farmers will actually be affected by the changes to inheritance tax?
@DanNeidle does the math...

Sorry I must have missed the section where Madeley criticised this demo for potentially stopping ambulances on emergency calls and preventing patients getting to cancer treatment and funerals.

Half of farms sold last year were to investors looking to avoid IHT, this is artificially pumping land values. You should be welcoming this change.
On a technical level it wasn't that tricky.
On a personal level I find today's word appropriate.

Today was a classic case of a list of words already used by Wordle really improving the odds and reducing the number of tries needed to solve it.

Whatever you do, do NOT repost this - it would make Trump suuuuuper mad. Like ketchup-throwing mad.
Finding three letters on Line One was less helpful than I expected, but when the fourth came along in the right place, Line 2 it clinched it. I'm fascinated by all the ways wordle pans out on different days.

Anyone else been given a โfriendly nudgeโ not to โtweet about Gaza/Israel so muchโ because โit could be misconstrued [in the media industry]โ
I have.
To the person concerned: unlike you, Iโm not a bully, biased or a coward. Iโm evidence driven.
Try it again and Iโll out you.
