"So in relative GDP terms, what the Marshall Islands just did is equivalent to the United States paying everyone a basic income of around $750 per month, no strings attached."

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

"Silent Hill is terrifying" Silent Hill is only scary if you haven't done the inner work allowing yourself to sit comfortably with silence or if you are somehow afraid of being hunted by a man with a giant sword who also happens to have a pyramid for a head. Otherwise, it's not scary. It's regular.

It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

So make sure you file your claims.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Don’t allow tech to turn you into an un-person. Refuse to let AI make things you could produce with your own brain. Develop your mental & creative faculties. Read constantly. They want you illiterate, and nothing threatens them more than a brain that is sharp and intact.

“The disabled people you let die to ‘return to normal’—it was for nothing. Because at the end of the day, [Democrats] are prepared to treat you the fucking same way.”

They have no healthcare plan. They only have a plan to take away what exists.

The incongruence. “You people want us unemployed, kicked out the street, want our family broken up and my newborn to starve. All because I disagree with you politically. What you try to do to us personally is far worse than any of our general political ideology.”

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Starting here, this whole thread about Gul Dukat is on point, and ends with the real kicker that is relevant for today: we don't hate fascists ENOUGH. We need to hate fascists MORE.
honestly for me the obligatory kick-O'Brien episode became tiresome quickly, while the Dukat-Kira arc is dramatically compelling, influenced positively by the actors themselves, tells a complete story before the end of the show, and reinforces Dukat's irredeemability.

My movie choices this week have been sequentially odd, bizarre, compelling, disappointing, mediocre, liminal, well-crafted, unnecessary and formulaic. But that's the way when you go into films blind.
