I'm sorry if this is obvious but the Tory proposal to exempt family homes completely from IHT will lead to 1] pensioners buying the biggest houses they possibly can 2] pensioners refusing to downsize which can only be bad news for younger families trying to buy family homes

We are about to see an avalanche of AI generated animations. I think all those low-quality children's animations can already be replaced, which suggests they will be soon. Opus 5.5 is incredibly powerful and cheap. The weirdening is accelerating. Like, this isn't even obviously AI.

When I was a girl, I ate one dozen eggs Ev'ry morning to help me get large
"Chun-Li is all kicks. So we did a bunch of Taekwondo training, Muay Thai, and Wushu (Kung Fu). I did two hours of that a day and strengthened my legs a lot and changed my diet drastically. When I was bulking, I ate 12 eggs a day. Every two hours I had to have a meal, and I was on the verge of throwing up. But it worked. By the end of the shoot, my thighs had grown six-and-a-half centimeters each,” she said in an August interview with Empire Magazine.

The “jaw-dropping” El Niño currently heating up the planet has burst through the highest temperature ever recorded for the phenomenon, several months before its expected peak.
A line chart showing temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean, compared to a 30-year rolling base period since 1982.

A gold line shows temperatures in 1997, a teal line in 2025, and a red line in 2026. The red line surpasses all others reaching 3.07ºC, and at an earlier point (September) than the previous El Niño that reached a comparable range in November 2015.

This remains one of the weirdest stories in the industry. If Kojima was late and running over budget again, I get why Sony might get worried. But this company has blown unfathomable money this generation on live service games that never came out. How could the savings be worth the awful PR?

Interestingly rates of tactical voting (or willingness to consider) are higher when presented with individual parties than asked in the abstract. Though again parties on the left are more likely to say they’d consider it than those on the right.

But on the right - Only 45% of Tories would consider tactically voting Reform, in fact more would consider Lib Dem 50% - Reform voters are more likely to tactically consider the Tories than other way round; but still at lower rates than on the left (60%), 61% would consider Restore
