A reminder: unemployment benefit is pay to do nothing. Unconditional Basic Income is pay to do anything.

What has always puzzled me about Covid guidelines is that we have an analogue for airborne infection spread which is easily understood and easily verified by ordinary people: cigarette smoke.
If you can smell someone smoking near you, you are being exposed to their germs too. Simples! And cigarette smoke travels a lot further than 6ft/2m!

@georgetakei It seems to be a universal truth. Right-wing supporters care more about themselves than about others. The sad irony is, for most such supporters, they are the ‘others’, let down and ignored by the people they elect

This is truly terrifying. If the Gulf Stream fails, there will be massive and probably irreversible consequences.

@ChrisMayLA6 Two things can be true at the same time. 😁
The UK’s malaise is deep-seated and has been around for a century. Membership of the EU hid its most egregious effects, but Brexit has turned it into a crisis.
The root cause is probably British exceptionalism — we have a wildly inflated idea of both our importance and our competence. And nowhere is this more evidenced than in our political system and the incompetence of our politicians.

Take your holiday on the Bibby Stockholm.. 😁

@adamconover Good plan. 😁

@Mastodon The fact that Threads is not available in EU at launch causes me to worry. EU is generally stronger on consumer protection than most other regulators. What EU requirement are they failing to meet?
