I’d read books and take walks and drink tea. So I’d support the book and tea economies, at least.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

So the flipside of this:
One person with £143m of wealth is given, just for having that wealth, the same amount as 10 people working average-income jobs. Every year. If they don't spend it, then it's 11 people, 12 people. etc.
10 years of average-citizen spending power for every year.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

According to google’s top of the list AI summary earlier today, for the search term “louvre robbery”, reality is fiction. #theInternetIsBroken

@404media.co the sheer unreality of google’s AI summary for the basic search “louvre robbery” earlier today. I guess reality is fiction, now.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

like how little do you think of americans that “daily videos of masked men terrorizing children and tearing families apart” is an issue you don’t touch because you think you’re going to lose on it. that’s insane
again find it bizarre that national dem leaders avoid the topic of ICE even on here but have time to congratulate an unpopular former speaker on their retirement from insider trading at 85

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Agree so much. All ads using AI images make me suspicious, tbh, like why did you need to fake it all so hard if you have a good product
I hate all the AI models in the clothing advertisements now. They’re creepy. They don’t communicate any useful information like how does this ruffled waistband look on a human body (even a painfully thin and long one). And, they’re creepy.
