   11:30am so time for the annual tradition of my dad deciding he's put up with communal TV choices long enough.

   So happy "Alaska: Homestead Rescue" day to all who celebrate.

   The womenfolk are off to do crafting in the kitchen. My brother and I are rolling new SWTOR jedi in his gaming shed.

   @amerika @vriska @shortstories @KuteboiCoder @icedquinn >We don't need a #UBI... we need fewer people in the workforce

   that is part of what a ubi is designed to solve, it allows people to leave a workplace setting much easier, it also allows people to leave an abusive living situation, easier. it allows them to keep a roof over their head while they care for loved ones, or work in the volunteer economy, and the world NEEDS more people volunteering in their local communities. it needs more historians so we don't repeat history, more "real" artists, and more passion projects.

   the "means testing" and enforcement that goes on with the social safety net system is not only ineefective and wasteful, it costs as much to FUND as the money it doles out. It entrenches many busywork (bullcrap) jobs, and fills our roads with traffic jams that would not exist with a UBI, it forces govts to waste huge amounts of resources on infrastrure that would NOT be needed. Giving everyone a little to live on that is proportionate to the nations national income is not inflationary, but it would go down dramatically during periods when the country is not exporting enough.

   So there is still a good incentive for everyone to do their part to improve the nation as a whole, or their baseline income drops.

   My current nightmare is that the Tories will be hammered so hard this Thursday that the back benches will run a leadership challenger against Sunak ...

   … And the party rank and file will then vote Liz Truss in again as party leader.

   She's had a year to lick her wounds and work out what she did wrong, and in her tiny mind it can only be that she didn't do everything fast enough and hard enough.

   So we'll get a Liz Truss equivalent of the US Republicans' Project 2025.

   The Most Important Article on why you only need a Brother laser printer has been updated to keep Google happy. And in a wonderful twist of irony, Niley Patel switched from ChatGPT to Google Gemini to add a few thousand characters of AI gibberish to make the Google algorithm consider his timeless answer relevant enough.

   So goeth forth and hype the link to make the algorithm and Brother happy. And give your Brother Laser a nice pat on its dusty housing :) https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework
