I like films and draw comics about them, am attempting to write a longer story/comic, support #ncfc, play Rallyman enemyrequest.com comic alt: @enemyrequest.com Neurodivergent/ADHD and stuff like that. Mute #ncfc to hide the footy posts.

I used to tell my students, who were almost always reflexively against UBI, that it'd take the bullets out of the gun. Imagine if employers had to make employment attractive? If they couldn't threaten you with hunger and homelessness? Or waste your time
Can we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish?
Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage.
It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves."

This is a question on the level of "you live in your house, but the Prime Minister lives in 10 Downing St. How can you possibly be PM?"
#bbclaurak tries to get a gotcha. Zack, you refuse to fly. How can you be a candidate for high office if you'd refuse to ever get on a plane?
Well Laura, in that situation I'd get on a plane.

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

Wouldn't be at all surprised at this point to find out Epstein is somehow behind the Batgirl movie getting canned, the Game of Thrones finale being shit, and the big boat getting stuck.

At least I think we can now all understand why rich tech freaks are so impressed with an artificial intelligence that can write coherent emails.

My mate doesn't really need to work much any more so is looking for suggestions of what to do with his life and will be asking the rest of our uni group.
I'm tempted to get them all to make Project Mayhem type suggestions.

My ex always said he liked to have a little wiggle room, which I was fine with, until he showed me it on the floorplans.

Tbh if you'd offered me 9 points from these 4 matches before the first one I'd have bitten your arm off up to the shoulder so I can't be too disappointed with a tight defeat and a pretty decent performance. #ncfc

Looking forward to the stewards looking doubtfully at my bag before telling me they wouldn't let me into a premier league match with all these essential medical supplies and waving me through.
