This is fantastic news for Irish artists. The key thing now is that the scheme remains randomly allocated, rather than decided by some committee of govt-appointed gatekeepers.
It also begs the question, if Basic Income works for artists, why not extend it to everyone?

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

when you look at the things people are doing now on their phones it makes you wonder if there was some new kind of virus a few years ago that makes people dumber every time they catch it

I dont understand the trend of girls in groups wearing matching yet bland outfits to go out? It gives very interchangeable and lacking in individual character, which I cant imagine is the point. Light-wash denim, black top, center part beachy waves. Ive seen this outfit on dozens of girls, and why

Hell with it, thread of Nelvana cartoon intros and some of the shows I grew up with, given the recent news of the studio's impending shutdown.

Everyone thinks the throughline with America and Israel is empire, but its actually grift. The central American and Israeli identity is grift or be grifted, independent of religious denomination. To be anti-US or anti-Israel is to reject scamming as premise of interpersonal engagement, simple as.

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny
at that point, you often see them let go of their pretensions towards being a Player and just go full Handmaiden's Tale. It's where they always were, but they deluded themselves into thinking it could be fun and frivolous
