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."

POV used to mean from the perspective of. Like a 1st person video game.

But now it's used by people filming themselves like in this video.

It's minor but it always make me wonder whose POV they are supposed to be from.

If she's putting the tablet in then why ask him to even put the dishwasher on? It would only be 1 additional button press at that point to just do it herself.

It's not unreasonable to ask your partner to do a minor domestic task properly.

When did POV come to mean "here's a video I made of" though.

I will never get over this.

Don't be fooled by conventional wisdom because personally, I like my revenge piping hot. Really opens up the sinuses.

Canadians can't refer to cheesy chips with gravy as poutine and lecture English people about how they use English.

As a Brit who lives in Canada, I think your assumptions are way off anyway. British English just doesn't translate as well in North America for number of reasons.

This story about the FBI director handing out challenge coins that celebrate vigilante violence came out the same week that he fired an agent for having a small rainbow flag on his desk.

Must be a bot or something.

Disney plus has a fun feature in their browser where after finishing something they display a recommended show page which let's you choose from 2 options. Start that show, or get fucked.

I can answer this!

EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature.

The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍

Steam forum post for EARTH MUST DIE. The question is raised "Is this game political? or will I be able to enjoy it and escape from this dire reality for a moment?"

I think it's because people use casual ableist language all the time. If people stopped doing that then we might stand a chance.

Ah.

Why did we stop calling these people weird? They are so fucking weird.

Did... did they just whiteface this character from a children's TV show?

The BBC should litigate.

The leader of Scarecrow biker gang the Trubblemakers, from Worzel Gummidge (2019).

His head is a large green crescent shaped marrow with eyes, a nose and mouth. He's dressed in brown boots, blue jeans and a black leather jacket and is standing in a green field.

Both hands are gripping tightly onto a set of handle bars tied to a plank of wood which he rides hobby-horse style like a motorcycle.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

My story:

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown

Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."
