This is just such a no-brainer win for everybody that I hope that it gets rolled out in a much bigger way.

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."

My sentiment exactly. The myth that Irish is a difficult language only makes sense if you only speak English. From English, everywhere is uphill.

Aonghus Ó hAlmhain @aonghusoha.bsky.social · 10d

Irish is not the most difficult language that I have ever tried to learn. It makes sense grammatically. There’s a few small things here and there but overall, it’s definitely not the worst.

This is a slow moving thread of screaming and horrified city gates. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #ScreamingCityGates

The horrified city gate from Wetzlar is shown: it's windows do look like eyes, and the gate itself looks like a screaming mouth.

23 september 1955, voorpagina van de krant van mijn geboortedag. De Motie-Tendeloo (Corry Tendeloo) werd met een kleine meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer aangenomen. Een ambtenares mocht niet langer worden ontslagen, wanneer zij ging trouwen.

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.

If there is a Lindyhop community near you, I would highly recommend that. While living in Dublin, it was my lifeline for friendly non-work people and banter on top of some very happy dancing! Still feels like home when I go back <3

So many of the half-baked AI implementations are happening in professional arenas that have been hollowed out by extraction and divestment. No journalist needs a writing aid unless they’re being paid too little to write too much, no teacher needs a commenting tool unless they’re overextended.
