"Having an [unconditional basic income] was such an eye-opening and different experience for them that really moved them forward in ways that are tangible, but aren’t as popular or sexy to talk about in policy...

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
You will never convince me that we won't see more incredibly creative art like this with universal basic income. I want UBI for many reasons, but especially this reason. I want more people exploring new ideas and pushing boundaries and getting really good at stuff they love.
I 100% adore AdP. 🏆
I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

The calls for the 25th Amendment are understandable but misguided. J.D. Vance and Trump’s cabinet are not accountable to voters in November. We need voters to understand that Trump is only able to act like this because Republicans in Congress let him. messagebox.substack.com/p/the-25th-a...

I can neither confirm nor deny that many attempts at my last game. :)
Save scumming is just embracing the many worlds theory. Your just looking for the right reality for your game. 😊

The mainstream press may hide it but that doesn't make it less real.
The fact that NONE of the reporting on Artemis II has mentioned and analyzed the Trump 1 space directives that are governing why and how Artemis is happening and to what purpose is an extraordinary #scicomm failure and a sign of how bad journalism about policy and science has gotten
GASP!
Don't do it! That's like rule #1!!!!
Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.

To those who are traveling to the U.S. to see the Football championships…. You still have time to cancel. It is not worth the risk.

Oh, I agree, but Target doesn't have that solid of a spine.

I'm guessing they're afraid to run afoul of Trump by saying DEI is ok.
Yeah, having to monitor Truth Social to find out if we're going to randomly bomb countries isn't ideal either...
Does the Big Bang count? :)
Shoot, I never saw that. While the rationale behind it in the article is in the neighborhood of understandable, a) still discrimination, and b) definitely not great keeping people more than 1 SD from the norm from a profession.
