Equally the case with the UK welfare state after WWII. They didn’t want a cohort of disciplined battle-hardened revolutionaries arriving back from the front to upend the aristos

It's kinda like the 'Nazi bar' template. You shut down open racism every time it happens. Once a politician says 'oh well they have legitimate grievances' and the news media follow suit, the lid is off, and there's no putting it back on.

With a heat wave shattering temperature records across the country, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

The planet just marked a "shocking" new milestone, enduring 12 consecutive months of unprecedented heat, according to new data from Copernicus.
Every single month from June 2023 to May 2024 was the world's hottest such month on record, Copernicus data showed. cnn.it/3XbBQqK

First they came for the racist with a milkshake, then they came for another, different racist with a second milkshake, and then like six years later they came again for that first racist with another milkshake. I'm just saying it's a slippery slope.

Earth's experienced highest CO2 increase: 14 parts per million in just 55 years. That is about 0.25 ppm per year.
Today we(!) increase the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere by 2-3 ppm per year. That is about 10x quicker than any natural process. Ever.

In Ireland the government just piloted a Universal Basic Income for artists scheme which is already changing lives and having an effect despite its small scale. Scaled up it could have a tremendously beneficial effect.

May 16, 1944: 600 Roma and Sinti staged an uprising at Auschwitz after they'd heard that 6000 of their kin were about to be executed.
Their armed resistance meant no Romani died in camp that day.
It's Roma Resistance Day.
Opre Roma.

Money is like shit. If we spread it around, it functions as fertilizer, enabling incredible ideas to sprout and grow. If instead we just pile it up into mountains, it stinks and all the great stuff that could sprout and flourish is starved of nutrients. Universal basic income is the good shit.

I met him once when he had his Galway studio and I was screening Lost Weekend. The only photo of Ray Milland I could get was from The Man with XRay Eyes , which he was quick to point out. Busted! A proper gent , I think he appreciated the cheapness of my efforts #RogerCorman
