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."

A few years ago, when there was a super moon, I was walking home pretty drunk. I text my wife a picture of it, because it looked massive and bright, to which she replied “that’s the church clock”. Still makes me laugh.

I am coming to realise this song is just one of those "weird things you missed" things.

There was a thread going around yesterday about what cultural black holes you have. I may be finding one of mine in real time…
