A Susie esse brain comic about a little brain that gets a burst of motivation. Get me to the desk they shout, hurry! But by the time they sit down at the desk the motivation is gone.

Hurry!

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

The one with the chick who is OJ Simpson's lawyer's daughter...? I haven't seen any of that.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

So excited to see Murder on the Orient Express at Harlequin Productions directed by my ol' director pal of BUILDING MADNESS, Scott Nolte

The Big Dark is approaching the northern latitudes and I was like, "Ooo! It's so late! I'm going to have coffee at 9pm!" It's 7:41.

Okay. So PLATONIC is like watching Friends back in its glory days, except everyone is high and no one gives a fuck about Ross and Rachel.

I’m fighting to save health care for people like Leslie.

So, the title is terrible but "Platonic" on Apple+ is a delight. It is so lovely to see an exploration of friendships without the will they/won't they.
