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."

Hey, putting this back out there: please help me find someone to foster or adopt this sweet husky mix. She's going to go on the red list soon, and I need ya'lls help. If you see this, please share / re-post to get the word out and get it in front of as many eyeballs as possible.

I visited Breezy / Scratch today in Modesto, and she needs a home. I did all sorts of behavioral tests on her, and she's going to be a great companion: she just needs some training. Please, someone give her a home before I do. I can't afford a divorce. #BG3

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: www.theverge.com/news/793579/...

Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account

Microsoft is disabling the best local account workarounds

The old Concorde joke was:

Fly British Airways! Breakfast in London. Dinner in New York. Luggage in Bombay.

Looking forward to a new version of that for the first airline that "uses AI" to manage luggage.

Seth Miller @wandrme.paxex.aero · 1d

"We won't even think about luggage. It will just get there."

One of the many questionable claims about how AI will change the travel world here at #AviationFest this morning.

Sora 2, Open AI’s new AI video generator, puts a watermark on every video. But the logo meant to help people distinguish between reality and AI-generated bullshit is easy to remove and there are half a dozen websites that will help anyone do it in a few minutes.

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.
