That’s right. Jesse Jackson, Jr sponsored that bill. They were quieter about it than National Welfare Rights Organization.

The Economist is being downright shrill here.

RIP Jesse Jackson.

That button translates to “Basic Income Now”.

I think about this a lot. You were only supposed to have a gun if you mastered it.

Did the NRA simply decide to sell the idea of expanded gun carrying in order to help sell guns?

Happy New Year!

Ben Davies has played six years longer than Archie Gray has been alive.

Tottenham fans often see the Progress flag over the tunnel at home matches. That is the work of this account owner, who has been repping for years.

Slavia Praha requested the banner be moved today, citing their supporters. Shame on them.

I am not paying those tickets and having this sycophantic shitshow run through my head throughout the match.

This is not entertaining.

Brighton is not allowing the Guardian to attend matches, so I choose West Ham without viewing.

It has been 15 years since we won at Arsenal.
We always look better after subs. (Whatever that means.)

Massive news!

The fan zone will feel different this time. People choose to go because they want a couple of different experiences at a tournament. Now, that is all most people can afford. My only hope is that people who think they are well-off will realize that those people in that spaceship-stadium don't care.

The cup will look lively on TV. Shots of fan zones will bring passion to the small screen. They will need them. Fans in the stands will more than ever just be looking for celebrities.

Curaçao just qualified for the World Cup. All of these countries are filled with story-tellers. It is their work that makes the World Cup so valuable. Now that prices will climb without limit, purchasers who just want to own a piece of this famous space and famous time will just sit there.

I will be teaching critical thinking. I have always tested for vocabulary, which seems to track curiosity and retention.

I would love to steal whatever test you devise!

We could a guy like that at Tottenham.

He was at Frankfurt (before I was there). He uses a lot of jargon. Very dramatic about everything.

The Fatal Trap UBI Boosters Keep Falling Into To win the argument for universal basic income, advocates must confront the myth that less work means less worth.

A nice piece. Basic income is good because people won’t have as many problems. We are wrong to worry about people working less or more.

Chicago is amazing. This article is so good.

I was just listening to OneSong riff on “RockIt” and the memory of his artsiness being just right there on my TV is so strong right now.

New England Unions Lead the Way on Offshore Wind Building trades unions in Rhode Island and Massachusetts are successfully fighting for offshore wind projects that create good union jobs and revitalize the economy. In the process, they’re showing ho...

Unions keep proving to be the answer to climate change and right-wing blowback.

I was impressed to read that the North Atlantic has “capacity to build 264 GW of offshore wind that could produce up to 27 percent of the United States’s annual electricity consumption.”

Too many people believe that a UBI will squeeze out other provisions.

How Basic Income for the Arts scheme is a win for all The socioeconomic benefits of supporting artists through this scheme is worth €100 million to Irish society

“The headline takeaway from the cost benefit analysis is that society received €1.39 in return for every €1 of public money invested in the pilot.”

Ireland’s Basic Income Grant to 2,000 artists may become permanent.

Plato and the Poets - Boston Review The centuries-old debate should be settled: an intellectual world bereft of poetry is a damaged one.

Boston Review is so good. They have re-posted Elaine Scarry's essay on Plato and Poetry and it is... so good.

I want to recommend River Solomon's short novel --The Deep-- which is based on a recording by Clipping.

Memory, trauma, emotional labor, solidarity. Find it here. The essay by Clipping is also very good. This was about seeing an idea move from one person and from one genre to another.

Iowa is not part of the right-wing’s image of dangerous cities that merit an invasion.

Trump is now developing the “right” to send ICE and the Guard anywhere.

Japp has the most range, I think.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
