The indirect benefits of free lunches

Screenshot of a tweet taken from yet another social network but summarize that it is a note to summarize a quote of a quote here a paper from the National Bureau of economic research showing a result that free lunch programs reduce the amount that parents spend at grocery stores which makes grocery stores cut their prices because demand is down and so everyone in the area gets lower grocery prices

Feels more grounded to the first film.

Beautiful scene in Scotland. By Mary Ethel Muir Donaldson, ca. 1920s. www.anart4life.com/mesmerising-...

Black and white photo of a handsome older white man with white hair and neat beard, sitting with on a grassy slope with a peat spade across his knees and beautiful rolling hills stretching out behind him. On his shoulder a shorthaired tabby is perched and looks brightly into the distance.

The September equinox is today, 22nd September, 2024. Today the sun will be directly above the equator for a moment as it makes its way south. And that moment is now, 13:43 Dublin time (i.e. 12:43 UTC).

My cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books.

Panel one:

Two small figures stand before a huge machine.

One says “Our startup has innovated the human writer out of the publishing process. This machine can write sixty-five books an hour.”

A conveyor belt at the front of the machine dispatches a continuous stream of books.

Panel two:

They walk across the workshop.
The second figure, who is reading one of the books, says “but will people actually want to read this stuff?”

Panel three:

They have reached a second huge machine. 

“The real beauty of our integrated system” says the first figure “is that it also frees companies from the tyranny of human readers”. 

A conveyor belt at the front of the machine dispatches a continuous stream of robot readers, happily consuming the content from the other machine.

Howth looked like it was channeling it's inner eye of sauron this evening

Red moon over Howth looking a bit like the eye of sauron from the Lord of the Rings
