Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

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."

The "insurrection" photo they're using is so old the donut shop has a sign advertising their payphone.

Shame on CNN for pushing the false impression that Trump's bullshit claims of violent insurrection have ANY validity.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

"You did Disney adults, now do Democrats"?

Buddy, there is *one* group of terminally-online adults in America who approach politics as a pageant of crowdwork with catchphrases, hats with slogans on them, and *literal storybook victories*, and it *ain't* the Democrats

Here's the reality: Trump and Russell Vought know using the shutdown to punish Dem constituencies delivers a sadistic thrill to the MAGA base. But sating MAGA bloodlust alienates the middle. That's WH's core dilemma.

Is that how you say that, in Traw'na?
