A NEW study of the Finland basic income experiment just dropped. Turns out psychotropic drug use decreased by 8 %–11 %, and incomes increased on average by 9% to 11% due to people not losing the income when they accepted a job, unlike traditional unemployment.

A Lithuanian phrase that one-ups “as poor as a church mouse” is “the mouse hung itself in the fridge.” An extremely metal Icelandic phrase about having little money is “to sip death from a shell.” But my favourite, from Estonian slang, translates to “I’ve got nothing but a dick and a desolate soul.”

Plusieurs centaines d’ONG, dont Médecins sans frontière, Médecins du Monde et Oxfam, alertent mercredi sur une « famine de masse qui se propage dans la bande de Gaza ». Les organisations appellent à un cessez-le-feu immédiat, à l’ouverture de tous les points de passage terrestres et à la libre circulation de l’aide humanitaire.
