If 'doing your own research' means using Chat GPT then you didn't actually do your own research at all

You asked an unreliable chatbot to do it for you

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. 🧵

There are a few areas of history that, if you speak about them on social media, will instantly summon the “well actually” men to tell you why you are wrong in forensic detail. They are as follows

1. Titanic history
2. Military history
3. The British heatwave of 1976

This bill will, overnight, put thousands of people in massive difficulty. People are going to die, some will kill themselves because of this; and I can't help but think that this Labour Government would just see both as one less mouth to feed.

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Me: a trained professional in sewing.
Also me: bookmarking TikTok’s about the most basic techniques cause it’s always good to refresh on the basics but also because I have this irrational fear I’m gonna wake up one day and forget how to sew a french seam.

Today's #ootd is this 1893 wool muslin two-piece dress with a muslin collar and lace trimmings. The asymmetrical draped bodice is my favorite element of this gown. It was made by Atelier M. Muelle, the costumer to de l'Opera, Parigi. Sadly, I don't know much more than that. #Fashionhistory

Had to message my mum about being my contact regarding organ donation (just got a provisional license yay).
I didn’t want to put any grim thoughts in our heads so I asked if she would be my contact “in the event organs need rehoming”.
And I may just keep referring to it like that

I understand the impulse to hate on the #MetGala and the opulence of it all while the world burns.

But also art and fashion and creativity and individuality are all things fascists can’t abide.

Not to mention this was a night celebrating Black fashion.

More than one thing can be true at a time.
