I'm getting cancelled for saying that the ban on Chinese cotton from Xinjiang has nothing to do with human rights and has everything to do with protecting the American cotton industry bc there is no end to the number of much worse human rights violations to occur at home and abroad without penalty

Low-stakes conspiracy: Cost-cutting was just a smokescreen. Removing headphone jacks from mobile phones was a deliberate choice to weaken the social fabric. Forcing uncivilised behaviour in order to turn people against each other.

I've been seeing a lot of pull quotes specifically about UBI from this article, but I love this section talking about the power of a community of creators. Every period I've been really inspired to do good work, it's because I'm in an incredible community. www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

Saying "we'll need UBI when AI takes our jobs" is free to say. Funding UBI is not free. So, I've just launched The AI Pledge for Humanity. It dares the people profiting from AI to do the second thing. Sign and share. And reply with this every time another tech CEO talks UBI without backing it up.

KEIR STARMER: [face entirely melted off] it is staggering that the civil service vetting team failed to tell me not to open The Lost Ark

THIRD THOUGHT OF THE DAY… The resistance to UBI (universal basic income) by those in power comes down to this… If ordinary people had access to this safety net, then more ordinary people would be in a position to do the right thing. Most people having no safety net are compelled to “obey orders”.

UBI won't happen because it would kill capitalism. Not because UBI would make people stop working. People LOVE putting in the work but only for things that matter to them or the world. UBI would kill the need for mindless bullshit jobs, and that's like the whole foundation of capitalism.

If your boss can't threaten you with homelessness if you don't work overtime this week then that's a good thing.

Tapping the sign

If being woke, radical or an extremist means I believe everyone has the right to universal healthcare, affordable housing, universal basic income, food and then you can call me the most wokest, radicalist extremist and there are millions of us Human rights are not optional

I also have an extreme number of synaesthesic synchronicities - clustered together to make several per day - and I'm keeping an eye on this

That's why we need Universal basic income. If our very survival wasn't tied into us working a 9-5, peoplecould focus on their passion projects instead, even if some of them dont necessarily pay. Money wouldn't have to be the driving force of our lives anymore.

One of the most interesting things about UBI trials is they often use relatively modest amounts of money per participant, yet see massively outsized gains even in studies that seem like they were designed to show failure. It is a resilient system, hard to sabotage. Put money in pockets, see results

@mancultureplym Needs rephrasing - unless this is equally a call to arms for men to take part in violence!!?

Nothing about this unfortunately clarifies that men should stand up *against* this violence. It equally reads as a call to stand together and jump on this trend (as you're getting away with it).

A radical thing about Universal Basic Income is the message it sends: "You have inherent worth simply because you exist." In a society that equates human worth with productivity, that is a revolutionary shift in our collective psychology. UBI is all of us saying to each other, "You deserve to live."

So many of us have spent years warning about the dangers of Christian dominionists in the U.S. government...

“We can’t give you UBI cause it would be too expensive”

Slightly funny advert for a printer in 1986 that makes a great case for using a pen, and yeah, most houses probably still have that exact pen in it. Great pen.

Income inequality is growing faster than ever in Canada , those over 50 are falling into poverty and struggling more than ever, younger people are pushed to the brink with spiralling rent , cost of everything as well. Canada is screwed up , and broken for many . We need a UBI .

Man Americans really will use any measuring system other than metric, huh?

I have a ticket for Greg's gig at the Eventim Apollo on Friday 13th March. It's seat C1 in the stalls and I would ideally like to get what I paid for it which was £58.25. I am a very reliable person but in order to receive the ticket you would need to download the Eventim app #gregdavies

Happy International Women's Day everyone. (November 19th)

why is it called the taskmaster house and not

Don’t put ants in your ears Or bees in your anus Lick a porcupine once You’ll find out what pain is And there’s just one last thing One final reminder

Fancy being so arrogantly ignorant that you make a post on something you know nothing about & haven't experienced, and then disable not only replies but even quote tweets. And being way off the mark. While also being incredibly ableist & unempathic to people's varying needs

Poverty is stressful and does not have great outcomes. If people knew they had a guaranteed income they would be mentally and physically healthy. We all know this, intuitively. UBI has been studied ad nauseam since the 70s and proven extremely effective.

Don't tell us we can't have a universal basic income, free health care, free college, and no people living on the streets when we apparently have money for war and militarized police.

these people should all hang

Hopefully Labour now realise that 75% of people don’t want Reform and that the people who vote Reform will not vote for Labour. It’s so fucking obvious. I don’t know why they’ve been doing what they’ve been doing. Congrats to the people of Galton and Simpson making the right choice.

Hooray for @thehornesection.bsky.social whose second TV series won the Best Returning TV Sitcom award :) (Oh and also Taskmaster Comedy of the Year...)

Buddy, you're an old man, poor man. Pleading with your eyes, wanna make the big bucks someday. You got no class, no grace. Big disgrace. Charging four dollars for

Maybe the bread and circuses we needed all along was for exactly one rich & powerful epstein class dickhead to get arrested per week

@brainmage.bsky.social I can't recommend any of this but it's amazing to read that smell can just .. pop back. Maybe you need to shit harder www.facebook.com/share/v/1DhG...

people say i shouldn't steal their pensions and put the money into a big hole in the hope that it grows into a massive delicious money tree. and to those people I say: this money pit is my baby. she needs money to live. are you trying to starve my baby? wow. get a load of the baby starver over here

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████
