The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out!
122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo
They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

It's hard to imagine a more brutal illustration of climate injustice and a failed society than indentured teenage slaves being used to protect the homes of wealthy Americans.
These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

Actually Open AI: The current SoTA LLM DeepSeek v3 is completely open source (open weights, fully free and available for anyone) — and it wipes the floor with closed source models of OpenAI and Anthropic. This is great news for end users. 🔥 (Not so much for Silicon Valley hustlers.)

Anyone out there still denying that Israel is intentionally carrying out war crimes that easily pass easily the genocide bar? Watch this. And then, if you can, fight against what humanity there is in you to continue to deny it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPE6...

Less than 24 hours after Israel's intentional bombing of Al-Ahli Arabi hospital, murdering hundreds of innocent civilians, many of them children, the two main Norwegian news outlets have limited their covering of the terror on their front pages to ONLY parroting IDF propaganda. This is journalism?!

Imagine Hamas bombing hospitals and schools in Tel Aviv, murdering 1000 children, while putting the blame on IDF because they were hiding soldiers there.

Elon Musk is a bold, heterodox thinker who cannot be classified as either left or right. For instance, on the one hand he hates unions, but on the other hand, he thinks too many people are allowed to vote.
