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.

i love my friends so much

I know my tradition is to share the Danny John-Jules song on Pancake Day but I think this year we need a bit of @thehornesection.bsky.social and beautiful Joe doing some proper Emoting in the kitchen. youtu.be/7zq1mp8vx3E?...

Reposting this for later as I can't watch it all at once (for squee-cringe combo spasm)

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

"The economy" just means "the interests of rich people". youtube.com/shorts/wlNBd...

Roses are red, These times are quite trying

The 2022 Ocean Literacy survey reported the % of respondents who had NEVER visited a Marine Environment: England - 11% Northern Ireland - 3% Scotland - 10% Wales - 8%

I mean I think this is TOO good for most people to appreciate

[Tune of With a Little Help from My Friends] Would you still love me if I was a worm? Would you stand up and leave me alone? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song I'm a guy and I live in the loam Oh, I'm a guy with a little nub at both ends

I think ALL THE TIME about people who've never seen the sea. If you grew up in a tiny country like Britain it's difficult to imagine. However poor your family was, you'll have been dragged to a lovably shit seafront before you were 15.

It helps to look convincingly happy about the things you're doing. It helps sell the sense that you're doing something because it aligns with your values. This government's default mode is to do something while handwringing that they had no other choice because someone else made them do it.

I want universal basic income, universal health care, buses and trains and livable wages and affordable rent, and I want my tax dollars to go towards that instead of billionaire-hosted rape festivals. Everyone does. That's not radical. It's survival. Americans want to survive. Fucking help us.

They keep doing studies on UBI and the answer keeps coming back, “It’s more than worth it.” Stunned by this outcome conservatives say, “that can’t be right. Let’s do another study.” Rinse and repeat.

Rich and Ally's Craven Newsround is BACK (what do you mean you didn't notice we had a day off?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SORf.... A lot of talk about 20-year-old's ejaculant if you're into that.

"IGNORE THE SMEARS, I WAS NEVER A CLOSE FRIEND OF PETER MANDELSON" I yell through my neighbour's catflap, desperately scrabbling at the backdoor handle, thrusting against the frosted glass my Guardian article where I make it clear I am a nice normal MP, as my neighbour calmly dials 999 on his phone

it's very strange seeing all these breathless headlines about STRUGGLING PM STRIVING AND BATTLING TO SAVE HIS PREMIERSHIP, when they're talking about Starmer, the plainest, most passive man in existence it's like a gritty superhero movie but they've replaced Batman with a tuna mayonnaise sandwich

not to be unnecessarily dramatic but i need to see what greg and alex wrote to each other or i will die

re: Morgan McSweeney losing his job - if you can't say anything nice and positive, and your first instinct is to broadcast the most hateful thoughts imaginable, you should consider applying to be Labour Chief of Staff because that's the main criteria they look for

Tenure enables freedom of speech, which is why aspiring tyrants don’t like it.

Why not, I thought, let’s give it a go. The ‘surprise’: it wasn’t a pastry at all, but a tiny magical man who is going to grant all my wishes. Unbelievable value for £3. Obviously can’t guarantee everyone will get that, that’s why it’s CALLED a surprise.

Took long enough

UBI debates must separate gross vs net cost. In the US, a $16k adult / $8k child UBI has a $4.86T gross cost, but a $605.5B net cost after offsets. Therefor, the real cost is about one-seventh of the headline number.

Can we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish? Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage. It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves." #UBI
