I have a theory www.theverge.com/policy/79849...

American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming

The Frog is owning the president.

This has backfired somewhat in that Jake is now deliberately sending us bad news in order to get kitten pics.

fascinating to hear people say they use different hands for different tasks! I’m right handed myself but have played piano & violin since age 6/7 so have quite a lot of dexterity in my left hand. I’m in a six piece band and three of them are left handed which I’ve always found interesting.

"Peter Thiel Gave Me $200 At The Antichrist Lecture" sounds like a Mountain Goats song.

I have a question for any ambidextrous people who may be on this fine site!

do you do everything with whatever eg hand that's most convenient at that point in time, or do you have things you do with your right hand/on your right side and things you do with the other?

thanking you

made the mistake of attempting some crochet.

It feels like a real flattening of culture‘s happening all over the place, doesn’t it? I dunno what we do about it but it makes me sad.

Whenever I go on the tube now, 90% of adverts for new theatre shows are based on films or bands. The lack of new / original stories is really stark.

“If we view feminism as the struggle of gender-marginalized people for bodily autonomy, rather than just calling these things “women's issues,” then we make room for all trans people within feminism.”

'Richard Ashcroft is as much the Scott Walker of Britpop as David Baddiel is the Spike Milligan of comedy is the new rock ‘n’ roll. You’d think someone who is a million different people from one day to the next would have more than a couple of ideas'

Making our politics group chat approximately 1000% less depressing by sending a kitten photo every time Labour does something we don’t like.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
