- I’ve found Claude’s “Projects” to be quite helpful for writing, since they allow you to keep research and writing help all in the same place. I hope they add some kind of notepad function as well and it could end up replacing Google Docs / Obsidian for my early drafts.

- Good piece by Fred De Fossard (I presume a pseudonym) on the four laws that lead to people being jailed for unpleasant tweets and harassed by police for signs saying “Love Muslims, hate Islam”. Any future Conservative govt should plan to repeal these ASAP. thecritic.co.uk/how-to-end-t...
- The best thing about Bluesky is the restoration of high follower accounts to their rightful place as the most important accounts on the platform. Twitter’s egalitarianism under Musk, where a tweet by someone with 30 followers could go viral with enough engagement, was a Jacobinist disaster.

- I'm amazed that inheritance tax is so popular with UK elites. It strikes me as being really appalling – distortionary, anti-investment, invasive, and undermining of one of the most basic motivations humans have, which is to provide for our children.
