...oops?

All Of Us Murderers flyer with book cover. tex says: Readers Say, followed by quotes: All Of Us Murderers is why I am sleep deprived at work today.

Kept me up until 2am on a
work night!

I read this in one sitting and stayed up until 3am because
I couldn't put it down.

I was only going to read a chapter before bed and then I blinked and it was 8am.

end tagline reads: Out Now. sorry about that.

A reminder on the 8th day of this Republican shutdown: Speaker Johnson could call Members back to negotiate to re-open the government any time he wants. He's choosing not to.

Republicans would rather raise costs and kick millions of Americans off their health care.

It’s the American robins chirping their fucking hearts out at 4:30 in the morning that really take the cake for me.

Might make my own little audio lesson for last minute cramming on the flight over.

"Ok, Sarah. Repeat after me.

Would you like a squid zine?
イカのジンはいかがですか？

Which way to the squid?
イカはどこですか？

Thank you for the squid!
イカありがとう!

No octopus please, I only like squid.
タコはやめて、イカだけが好きです。"

This is very close to what I did for lunch. Basically every meal is “how can I use up what is in the fridge before it goes bad“ lol. It’s always a race against time!!

The one big donation to Wilson's PAC so far is $75,000 from PROTEC17, the union that represents city employees. As Harrell likes to mention on the campaign trail as an example of his management experience, most city employees ultimately answer to him, and they're backing his opponent.

Tonight’s improvised dinner:

Sauteed mushrooms in shallot and garlic, with a little bit of thyme and white wine. I threw in some leftover creamed spinach with a little bit of black lentils. grated some parm and threw it in. Filled 3 leftover crepes with it. NOM. Would do again.

Maybe ask your readers if they expect you to have a subscription?

Just put your face directly in it. Do not pass go. Do not ask any questions.

How many times does UBI have to be tested

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

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."

Pain sucks so much. Today was the first day my head didn’t hurt in over a week. Sympathies.

Jill S @outseide.bsky.social · 14h

Ohhh. Hmmm I was going to do a thing at noon but if they end up not starting until 4:00 … okay I will keep that in mind. I hope they do get a later start time and more time to rest.
