yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

This means, depending on what amounts we earn when, and how our "basis period" falls in the month, we may now have a month where we get no income and no UC at all, and have to do monthly accounts reporting and claim calculations to achieve that. This is, i believe, some bullshit. #UniversalCredit

So as self employed writers we have bad months (no income) and good months (wow they finally paid!) which means the great months cause the following month to be zero UC and zero help with Health stuff, and the bad months mean the following month we get full UC and help with health.

The admin to claim any help with anything is purposefully confusing. I rang the tax credit exemption helpline. She said id possibly be eligible, and shed send me an email. Great! Email said "find out if you are eligible" hit link, and theres five y/n questions, then "depends on prev months income"

Monday spent getting papers together for interview to move from tax credits to universal credit. Tuesday two hour UC interview, then submit figures etc, yesterday sorting to do accounts/tax return, today? Free dentist/prescriptions depend on monthly accounts, instead of yearly HC2 certificate.

Voted for the lesser evil. Literally all any of us can do. If you don't do it, you get the greater evil and you may as well have voted for them. A shit system but, if you don't vote at all, you just make it easier for the the very worst to get elected.

Alien (1979): Early art by Jean "Moebius" Giraud One of the legacies of Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune, cancelled in the mid-1970s, is that Dan O'Bannon had met Moebius, H.R. Giger and Chris Foss on that project, and was able to recommend them to Ridley Scott a few years later.

Lots of great stuff in this, but this struck me as fundamental: "Silicon Valley will continually fail to innovate at scale until it learns to build real things again — things that people use because the things in question actually do something."

Thus March 12, 2020 - The Dow falls 10%, its worst day in 33 years. There is bedlam at unprepared airports as Americans, sick and well, flood home to beat the travel ban, many waiting for hours packed in confined spaces. Also, it turns out no one in DC warned European leaders about any of this.

This is true. There isn’t even anyone at Marvel or DC who can blacklist you from the industry. If a small publisher owes you money and aren’t paying, though, the last thing they want you to do is tell everyone. You have more power over them than they do over you.

I'll have more to say about it, later, but for now I'll just say that @jomc.bsky.social's 'Wrong Way' is not only a solid examination of the shams of tech solutionism, but also a tightly atmospheric and appropriately claustrophobic apocalyptic character piece, resonant with Kafka, Ballard, & DeLillo
