Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Do you ever suffer the experiential yearning? I do, and I mean to do something about it with a strong dose of the old #ttrpg. New musings on Old Men Running The World:

Why indeed? Because the UK political and media class are all still on twitter where US politics is always the main meal of the day. Get off it, you fools.

Things can, and do, get better.

Nigel Farage is essentially declaring war on not just every immigrant in the UK, but on the post-Brexit immigration system. An immigration system brought about by… Nigel Farage

Gold Teeth update coming later this week. Apologies to those waiting!

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Perhaps the home secretary can announce how they intend to protect the life and work of these people, UK citizens being threatened, rather than another proclamation about the fucking boats.

Right you lot. Get WYRD SCIENCE Issue 7 ordered: shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr... I am in it talking CAVES OF QUD. I will take it as a personal favour if you pick this up. But don't do it for me, do it for the health of #TTRPG generally, because this is the magazine we all deserve.

My strongest belief is that there should have been an Elric TV show that was done with Gerry Anderson puppets.

Fascinated by "not thinking" being a thing people come believe is desireable. The vacant ecstacy of zombiehood. Consciousness slowly vanishes, evolved out by symbiosis with graphics cards, but mankind somehow continues. A bustling planet, devoid of mind.

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

Interesting answer. I can do either without much effort, which seems to chime with this, but I feel more comfortable inverting because that's how I was programmed by 1980s flight sims.

British politics really needs to wake up to what is happening in America given we have imported a huge amount of its culture war politics. Maybe there are some clues about what would be on the cards here under a Reform government?

Subtle. It just looks wrong. Also typing out instead of our, which I have to correct in 100% of cases.

Stop. Please stop. Change direction.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.
