The Robbie Williams stuff has got to me. What do Americans play at funerals and at the mid morning and mid afternoon melancholy slump if they don’t play Angels?

My current TikTok obsessions: the American accounts’ responses to the British friends who went to NYC on holiday - the friends are fab too but the way people have taken them to their hearts is lovely! And Brad Mondo videos where people colour their own hair. Will it be okay? Will it be a disaster?

I appear to have run out of pictures of Christmas crafts I will never do on my phone BUT I have found a vintage card of a mammoth and a dinotherum. Compliments of the Season from these fine fellows!

I finally got some Christmas shopping done this morning. And all I can say as a disabled person is I am so thankful for online retailers. I’ll be getting my husband to take me to my local games shop for some stocking fillers but I’d have been lost otherwise. And shoutout to lovely Vinted sellers!

I really do have a lot of instructions for Christmas crafts from children’s books I’m unlikely to ever do stored on my phone. This is from The Berenstain Bears Old Fashioned Christmas

We deserve a universal basic income. Why?
Because we’re all shareholders in the economy.
If corporations can distribute profits to investors, why can’t the economy reward everyone who helps keep it running? It’s time for a federal UBI.

I swear my supervillain origin story is going to be based on those people who post “Should I post a part 2?” on those Pepé the Prawn trauma dump TikTok videos. Ugh! I need to know what happened?

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. 🧵
