“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.”

“A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

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

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."

Je ne sais pas si les dirigeants politiques et médias français se rendent bien compte de la gravité de ce qu'il se passe aux USA. Des centres de détention aux allures de camps de concentration. Des centaines d'immigrants en situation régulières qui disparaissent.
Le fascisme est là.
Un trou noir : pourquoi des centaines de migrants détenus à “Alligator Alcatraz” ont-ils disparu ? Perdu au cœur des marécages, le centre de détention se distinguait déjà par les conditions inhumaines qui y règnent. Alors que les autorités américaines semblent avoir perdu la trace de plusieurs centaines d’immigrants en situation régulière, c’est désormais son opacité qui est pointée du doigt.

Update: won a Cup with Raging Bolt feat Dusknoir (the list I played at Worlds but better), so that's 260 points from locals!
Of course I'll keep playing them, but I might skip tomorrow's Cup because I need some rest 😅 (also the pre-Mega Evolution format is over)

Won a League Challenge with Raging Bolt yesterday and one with Gardevoir today (I used Henry Chao's list, I didn't ask him I just got it from watching Abaan on stream yesterday). That's 4 Challenge and 3 Cup wins this season, hopefully I can max out my local points next weekend!

Classic sudoku is pretty boring imo, but sudoku with additional rules can be very subtle and fun. If you want an easier way to get into it, the Rat Run puzzles that I mention in the article are pretty creative but much shorter. Here's the first one: sudokupad.app/iu50qghplg

Thanks! Yeah, the first boss is tough and I think the creator recognized he shouldn't have made it this hard.

I'd say Trials & Tribulations, but I haven't given too much thought to the question.

I wrote about a game I really liked for my blog.

...I'm trying to remember when was the last time that I wrote something public that wasn't connected to Pokémon (even, like, a forum post or something) and I'm drawing a blank.

Anyway check out this review!

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing

President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

Switch wasn't extremely useful, but it's one more out to Maractus and friends, and you can use it alongside Boss or Crispin for a strong turn. Also helps a little in the early game before you have a pivot.

3 Crispin was fine, fourth one would be nice but I never felt I *needed* it.
