How many UBI or 4 day week trials have we done by now?
I'm glad I don't need anything from farmers and them not being able to buy fertiliser affects nobody but themselves.
Incredible posting here

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

WELL it's one year later and they've released an update, but notably, there is no chatbot. Well....I'm going to read it anyway, and you're all going to get spammed with notes :)
that's means a NEW ULTRATHREAD 🧵
listen to podcasting is praxis
Both are necessary and both insufficient on their own imo

Any academics able to help keep this space that helps people in Gaza to continue their education?

I’m running on fumes trying to get this to its goal by Sunday. This is a community project supporting displaced youth with internet, electricity, study spaces, skills classes, and more. It’s on the brink of closing.
