man/child/goblin @manchildgoblin.com · 20/08/2025Headline in the Independent: "Reeves’ ‘mansion tax’ would stall home sales and fuel exodus of super-rich, experts warn" I don't see how an exodus of the "super-rich" is a bad thing. Their mere existence is an indication of their parasitism on the economy, the sooner we are rid of them, the better. 010

man/child/goblin @manchildgoblin.com · 02/01/2025Hindsight can be a terrible thing. At the time, I thought I'd never get the approximately £80 I spent on USB ASIC miners back, and I only got them as a curiosity. I should have just bought bitcoin and been done with it. 100
man/child/goblin @manchildgoblin.com · 02/01/2025Wish I hadn't already cashed out the approximately 0.1 BTC I mined about a decade ago (when you could still do such things on a home PC with an inexpensive USB key). On balance though, I managed to do so before the value has fallen to zero. I'd absolutely not recommend anyone get involved now. 100

![Badenoch interview in the Spectator:
Badenoch is, however, ready to fight. Her Nigerian heritage often comes up in conversations about her straight-talking style. But she says this misses the point. ‘I find it interesting that everybody defines me as being Nigerian. I identify less with the country than with the specific ethnicity [Yoruba]. That’s what I really am. I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where the Islamism is, those were our ethnic enemies and yet you end up being lumped in with those people.’
Badenoch is proud of her Yoruba heritage. It’s given her a ‘very strong identity about who you are, where you come from, traditions and so on’ – including her maiden name, Adegoke. ‘Somebody once told me when I was very young that my surname was a name for people who were the warriors. They protected the crown and that’s what I see myself as doing. I am here to protect and I will die protecting this country because I know what’s out there.’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hrzbbg3ul7kqmh3u2noouqm3/bafkreigpoggzlzmkds6r4uvzfoic3wea5y3t7e5xmft2aomtpv2m4vqllm)
