Of all the reasons to endorse Universal Basic Income, mental wellbeing is often overlooked. Imagine fewer people acting out of desperation and frustration. UBI has the power to alleviate stress and foster a more compassionate society. Turn down the suffering, turn up the empathy.

I was a Journalist/Editor. Made the big money move to Education (LOL) when my kids were little for better time spent with them. I knew after Sandy Hook this would never change. If Americans can accept dead elementary school kids then they don't give a shit about teachers or teens.

This post from a teacher at Apalachee High School. 😭 America isn't just failing students. It is failing teachers, too.

I lied to my kids today in second period. I told them it was just a drill. I told them to get behind my couches (thank GOD I ditched desks and have bulky furniture!) & be quiet - the more quiet we are the faster the drill will end. I knew it was a lie. I knew this was what I always plan my furniture arrangement for every year. My kids were able to just hide & not panic for over 10 minutes, until we heard the banging on doors, walkie talkies, & yelling in the hallway. Then I had to come clean. My kids
- & that's what they are. Not just students. They are MY KIDS- were so brave. They still trusted me & did exactly what l asked. I felt so helpless. 18 of my kids.
All I could do was ask them to listen to me & to hide. It was the worst 20 minutes of my career. 18 kids.
Depending on me. Anna somewhere in the building unable to get to me, or me to her. No idea what's going on. More yelling, banging on doors. Finally the door is opening & we're evacuated to the football field.

Every few years there comes a 'Copyright is a crime' call, it's always wrapped in 'it's a benefit for all' from capitalists who merely want to steal the labour of others for their own profit. My favourite personal anecdote about this was when I attended a talk at a - futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free
OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free

OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

Loads, but a rich corporation did it, so it doesn't count.

The same Warren Beatty that kept his Dick Tracey costume and makes regular terrible episodes (the latest one being Dick Tracey Phones It In) just to prevent a sequel being made until it goes out of copyright?

You gotta wonder about Kohima sometimes.
