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."

Really looking forward to this one - Ramsay and Pattinson are faves, it was filmed in southern Alberta, damn -- Lawrence looks like she turns in one helluva a performance.

Absolutely wonderful article: Wes Anderson's Impossible Dreams.

And a true example of the utter irreplaceable value of film criticism. Gorgeous read over at Criterion by Bilge Ebiri on Anderson's film catalog from the first 25 years of his career. www.criterion.com/current/post...

A wide shot of a movie set with a miniaturized practical set from THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU in the background. In the foreground, slightly off centred Wed Anderson sits behind a camera on a crane lift. He's slightly turned and looking over his shoulder, offset and out of the photo. He's dressed in muted browns with a light coloured scarf wrapped around his neck.

On the eve of one of the largest demonstrations of labour power in Alberta's history, sights like 20,000 supporters rallying in front of the Legislature for teachers and their students is inspiring. Solidarity! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Notably missing from the AI Strategy Task Force, whose month-long 'national sprint' begins today: a librarian, a researcher in science or technology studies, or seemingly a *single person* who would look at gen AI tools with a critical eye.
