In 1990, billionaire wealth was 2.5% of global GDP. Their wealth is now 14.1% of GDP. In the UK, it's now 22% of their GDP We absolutely have to get inequality under control. It's the extreme level of inequality that's causing so many of our problems. We need to tax wealth + transactions and do UBI

Putting some feelers out here, but are there any UK Warhammer players who'd be interested in buying some Cadians off me? Have 30 troops, old metal Command Squad and 3 heavy weapons units.

#eurovision is tomorrow and I won't be covering or speaking about it because of the cowardly and unconscionable inaction of the European Broadcasting Union: Allowing the continued participation of the Israeli broadcaster KAN after the ongoing, documented genocidal actions of the Israeli state and 👇

Someone just told a pro AI bro in my comments: I’m not using it because it’s not smarter than me, I can see why you like it though.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

This should be shared a million times until no single American can escape hearing it. Make like it's AI and put it everywhere

I've joined over 300 artists, arts organisations, academics, think tanks and campaigners who have signed this open letter. Add your name. Tell Scotland's political parties and cultural institutions to deliver a basic income for artists: actionnetwork.org/forms/an-ope...

Please retweet.

"britain is ungovernable" is so funny considering you could unfuck solidly 65% of britains problems by just rejoining the EU

Want more indie games, animation, music, everything? Support UBI. That’s literally the only way I can think of that it becomes feasible, at all, for people to make things they love and are passionate about *without* also burning them out and working them into wreckage.

Trans rights are human rights!

Trying to figure out who to vote for? 1. Stands up to fascists. 2. Supports universal Healthcare for all; NO DONUT HOLES. 3. NO PACT money from the 1%. 4. Supports universal basic income for all. 5. Protects the environment. 6. Knows climate change is real and will work for a green energy economy.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Whaddaya know: Opportunity's tax policy is actually a banger. Universal Basic Income! Land Value Tax! Higher upper tax brackets! @greens.org.nz I can't wait to see how you top this! 💚 #nzpol

It's Astonishing how little attention the full scale reintroduce of Jim Crow white supremacist voter suppression through anti-Black gerrymandering is getting both on here and generally Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Remind that for UK folks there's still time to vote. Let's keep Reform out, eh?

My oldest Commander I still play - Mayael is old enough to buy drinks here in the UK

hi pets, it seems we need more help, despite things looking better, it isn't good enough. This time, with a goal of just ~200 USD (1000 reais in conversion), we just need some help paying rent, food, and medicine, keeping me and wife safe and medicated. wife's kofi: ko-fi.com/baladesilver

While I would love to get some new art made for MagicCon Amsterdam tokens to give away but can't really afford it atm. 😅 So if I were going to get something printed, what legacy art would you prefer? Here are some art options below. Most likely will end up as a 1/1 hero or treasure token.

Local Election Day in the UK - get out and vote friends, and whatever you do, keep those Reform bastards out.

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

I will never vote for a party which attacks trans human rights. In any election. That's a hard line for me, and any party who wants my vote will need to bear that in mind.

We have a toxic combination of low wages and high bills. We need to make life affordable for everyone. Make hope normal again & Vote Green. 💚 (& remember to take photo ID to the polling station!)

Still looking for work/sponsorship for Magic Con Amsterdam 🥰 here’s my updated media kit ✨

So I (living in the UK) have been on universal credit for the better part of 2 years. It’s not universal basic income; it’s hardly enough to survive on, and only under the condition I’m constantly making job applications. And there are no days off allowed. It is fucking exhausting. We need UBI.

Do this today. Even if your MP is awful. Don't let them claim that they only had emails from constituents opposing trans rights. It really does only take seconds to fill out.

Don’t miss out today’s stream with our friends at War Room EDH right NOW!!! Hosted by @manatithe.bsky.social and @revelo.bsky.social ❤️ #mtg #magicthegathering #edh

Hi. excuse me, I’m going to be talking in all caps. WHERE IS THE UBI INSTEAD OF THIS BULLSHIT OH MY GOD WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER HUGELY EXPENSIVE MOVIE INSTEAD OF HELPING PEOPLE WITH THIS FUCKING MONEY I AM SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF THIS I WANT TO RIOT

Friendly reminder that @revelo.bsky.social, @manatithe.bsky.social, @miabyte.bsky.social and @cassmtg.bsky.social are live tomorrow for #EDH Details in the post below! Hope to see you in chat!

On the Elon Musk thing by the way: You do more work than Elon Musk. Your value to society is also far greater. Even if you actually do nothing. Because he breathes death. He's killed millions of people with DOGE alone. That's just a fact. But it was also true before he did that.

Welcome to blood profits season: where every major fossil fuel company announces windfall profits thanks to mass murder and the 2nd global fossil fuel price crisis this decade. We cannot stay trapped in this cage. Time to escape. New Al Jazeera op-ed live here www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

What I keep coming back to with Musk and his fellow billionaire scum is that, even if they weren't actively killing people which they are, their individual wealth would be enough to solve world hunger which kills 9 million people per annum. They should be remembered as history's greatest monsters.

It's not just that the minimum wage is still $7.25, or has been $7.25 since the Obama administration. Adjusted for inflation, the purchasing power of today's $7.25 only has the purchasing power that $4.71 had 17 years ago. Wages aren't stagnating, they're falling.

Comparing people’s living conditions in 1901 to now is already silly & serves no meaningful purpose so let’s talk about numbers that matter to Alive People In 2016 Elon Musk’s wealth was 11 billion dollars. Today it is 800 billion dollars. Federal minimum wage in 2009 was 7.25. Today it is 7.25.

UBI is freedom to choose useful work over bullshit jobs.

MagicCon be like "There are people you love and adore with all your heart in the building and you will NOT see them for one second" 🤪❤️

it’s giving the classic

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education
