I've updated my author website a bit to include some informational pages about dyspraxia, how I experience the world as a dyspraxic person, and how it informs my worldview on neurodiversity politics. Here's the link if anyone would like to check it out:

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Universal basic income will reduce crime. That crime didn't go down in the Finland pilot does not disprove that, and it definitely doesn't disprove the causation of crime by poverty, nor support the eugenics view that crime is in the genes like Elon appears to grossly believe.
Elon Musk is Wrong About Basic Income and Crime: Here is the Pile of Evidence He Ignored
Why Elon Musk is wrong about the Finland experiment, and why we must stop ignoring the massive body of evidence that proves poverty is a policy choice that drives crime

The "basic" in universal basic income does not mean low. It means basic as in base. Foundational. Primary. First. Basic income is an income floor. All other income adds to it. It's basic income because it's everyone starting income.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

If they want to slow down the Trump administration, Democrats should begin promising this *now*
We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I hate holidays — or at least the way they’re traditionally observed in Western culture, anyway.

"With its vast troves of information about Americans and their activities, the federal government has an enviable, but often decentralized and disorganized, gold mine of data untapped by AI companies to date."

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

New video up! This one is a special guest episode with @jamesfeltonkeith.bsky.social who is running for US Congress in NY's 13th district with universal basic income as a key part of his "We Owe Us" platform. Whose work trained AI? Ours did. All of us. Data is labor.
