A BlueSky thread by Scott Santens on Skyview I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs arou...

Unconditional basic income works. We have the studies. We have the data. What we don't have yet is the will. I think we can build it. I know we have to try. I know we have to fight for it. It's certainly not going to be handed to us by those who will definitely pay more in taxes as part of the deal.

A foot long, heavy brass key fashioned by hand in the 1950's.

My paternal grandfather fashioned this foot long & heavy brass key from a mold that he carved. 1950's. He was a furniture designer/maker & a skilled artist who made amazingly intricate yet small wooden sculptures. A Lutheran Priest with eyeglasses and a pulpit. A woman combing her hair.

Mostly finished works in progress. Acrylics by imaginist

still painting... 🎶 🎵 🐠 🍩

It real funny how Congress keeps failing by the exact number of votes needed to not do a single damned thing.

Yep

She seems to have an invisible touch
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

Genesis 19:86

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

None of those people would respect what "under oath" means. She'd shamelessly lie just like her husband.

ICE is not about immigration.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.

Where Summer Went

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

Dusty windshield showing two embracing spiders. One much larger than the other.

Tiny spiders mating? Maybe aftermath? If you zoom in it looks like a small male on top of/facing a larger female. On my truck's back windshield. The female is roughly the size of a thumbnail. #photography #wildlife #rural #invertebrates

You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today.

This chart tells the real story.

Every time someone says "I don't get into politics" it tells me who they voted for.

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.

This is a 1990s Jerry Jones Longhorn Bass6 electric guitar made in Nashville TN. It was owned by Robert Quine who played with Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Matthew Sweet, Lou Reed and many others. It’s the final of three Quine guitars we purchased shortly after Robert died. Robert was good friends with Rick Kelly at Carmine Street Guitars. Rick handled all the musical equipment sales after Robert died. It comes with multiple forms of documentation including the promotional sales badge, copy of original sales receipt, and the inventory list from Carmine Street Guitars. In addition, there’s some case-candy left by Quine. Description from VintageSilvertones.com This Longhorn Bass6 features a solid/semi-hollow, longhorn double cutaway body, in a copper sunburst finish front and back. It has two single coil lipstick pickups which in combination are humbuckers. There's a clear plastic pickguard, two metal strap pins and Kluson Deluxe-style tuners. The guitar is 100% original and in new-old-stock condition. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

Did Bessent just say the phrase "illegal Americans"? Wow

Sad but true.

It really annoys me when people say “well how do you think people survive before XYZ?” A lot of people died and most of the people who lived had shitty lives. Let’s be honest.

both parties are the same except for the fact that when Democrats get hit with Allegations they lose their job while Republicans get nominated for Secretary of Defense or President

I’m in a hospital right now, and strangely, not one doctor is wearing a Jesus robe.
