This pilot experiment PAID FOR ITSELF. Ireland spent $105 million on artists providing them basic income, and saw that drop to $72 million after accounting for economic impacts, then with $80 million in psychological wellbeing impacts, that dropped to -$8 million.

i just want you to know i spent €40 on organic strawberries for this

u dick. it's 10pm now we can't sleep

when i said i wanted an educational documentary about cults. i meant like a tutorial

Do I suddenly loooove pre-production (emails) or are my decaffeinated receptors just responding to the tall mug of green tea I just ingested? We'll never know

You think your interests are too distinct to ever be mashed up into one thing. But you are wrong. Here is a fish singing Largo al factotum, combining my love for the ocean and the opera. My interest of laughing tears was also catered to. 10/10, artistic masterpiece www.tiktok.com/@_lindawold/...

Can we have the temperatures of autumn but the daylight hours of summer? Pls

I've said it before, and it's been demonstrated by others: OpenAI's innovation was not a programming one. The original ChatGPT was, in size, a weekend coding project. OpenAI's innovation was to say "Hey, instead of a limited data set, why don't we just steal *everything from everybody*??"

you know that feeling where you're suddenly motivated to declutter and organise and deep-clean your whole place? ...is there a way to conjure that at will?

filmmaking is 40% emails, 20% meetings, 35% climbing cringe mountain

Berlin gang, anybody want to play an extra (we only need your hands, in gloves) on my shoot on Oct 1st? We'll need you from 11.30am until 7pm max. Ambitious project, super fun ✨

why i insisted on a studio with air conditioning even for a late september shoot. Felt temperature of 29°C on what's officially the beginning of autumn 🤡

my latest social ad, starring the prince himself ELI 🐕 i directed & edited

@coelliptic.bsky.social what if we hire each other to supervise a cold turkey internet detox like 24/7 live-in style

Best part of misplacing yr phone? Don't spend time looking at phone Worst part of misplacing yr phone? Spend time looking for phone Worst part of finding phone? Spend time looking at phone

guys you will never believe what happened. i went to TWO new places this weekend and they were BOTH AMAZING

counter theory: Eli is actually incarnated in his highest form currently, as a reward for being a good person etc in his previous lives he gets to be my spoiled dog now (i just cooked him his all-organic food for the week)

Especially in today's political climate I urge you to actively seek out contact to other (especially marginalised) cultures and their joys to protect yourself from getting brainwashed or developing implicit biases. There is so much delight to be found and

everybody STAY CALM there is a PAVLOVA CAFÉ in a neighborhood i frequent

HOLY SHIT you guys

my hobby is looking up a place on google maps and then driving an hour with my little doggy to eat there

Ok guys I think I figured it out. I think I found the solution to almost all my problems. A bhangra class would fix me

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

so over the weekends i now put my laptop in a sleeve and the sleeve in a backpack and the backpack in a hallway closet that kinda crowded and annoying and it works!

I am not ready for a new week of touching the computer :((((

People are like I wish there was a way to make healthy food like vegetables more addictive. There is. MSG

U can use dog training techniques for everything. For example yourself when you need to clean the kitchen (I got a snack for each annoying large dish I cleaned and when I was done I made cheese tteokbokki)

This is like when someone was arguing with David Simon about writing advice and asked him if he had seen The Wire

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Y'all wanna cry? I had a conversation with a commercial diver from India (i do still 💝 the internet) and he told me that there's a belief that pets protect their families from illnesses by receiving them in their stead 😭😭😭😭 ELI NO. GIVE ME THE LIVER PROBLEMS AND THE TOOTH ACHE. I WILL TAKE IT. I WI

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Hey gang, as you know I've been consistently re-evaluating my relationship with the internet and it being a new month/quarter/perceived season tomorrow inspires me to tighten the ship there. Anyone want to be ✨accountability buddies✨ for using tech intentionally rather than feeling forced by it?

The height of luxury is eating food you didn't have to make yourself

I wanna know some obscure shit that the algorithm isn't feeding me. Tell me about your obsessions and fascinations and niche hyperfocus. Some of mine: - Dolphins can send each other holographic images through sonar - I just printed (a translation of) the Bhagavad Gita and I'm going in

It is impossible to do dishes without being on the phone to someone (or at least having a *good* podcast or audiobook, but a call is preferable) and it is also impossible to drive without a driving beverage, bubble tea is best. Otherwise the car may not start

Dieses Open Air Kino hat offensichtlich ein beneidenswert treues, wenngleich (noch) nicht sehr großes Publikum. #Kinoliebe

Kolegica je u Sarajevu, see below 💕

Note to self: Don't do math after bedtime 😂🫠 To be fair I was only off by eighty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-one, it could happen to anybody

Jetzt hatte ich mich grade damit angefreundet, dass ich diesen Sommer halt keinen Sommer habe und mir jetzt vorgaukle, eine Herbstperson zu sein, da wird es doch nochmal heiß

My controversial opinion is most things are not hard, they just take time. Learning Korean? Not hard, just takes time. Learning statistical analysis? Not hard, just takes time. I think "hard" are things like resisting impulses, emotion regulation, sticking to your values in adverse circumstances etc

Oh dear. Now I have to learn Swahili www.tiktok.com/@colourfulra...

🔥Umweltschädliche Subventionen: 65 Mrd./Jahr 🚗Dienstwagenprivileg: 13,7 Mrd./Jahr 💸Steuerflucht: 100 Mrd./Jahr Merz & Co verbrennen Milliarden und erklären dann den Sozialstaat zum Luxus. So geht Klassenkampf von oben.

Timeline cleanse: Took my dog to the pet store and he found the love of his life

Since moving, I can't paint as much as I used to, but I still do it. Here are some smaller size works I made this year, inspired by emotion, and space, and - as always, the ocean.

Kolegica ide u Bosnu i pita za mjesta za smještaj i jelo. Preporuke?
