  • It's a fake out. If you look at what the guy actually did during 08, he paid a lot of lip service to stopping inflation but went along with the policies he spoke out against. He's done this job before, and he's being hauled back in to do the same.

  • I've come to rely a lot more on Wikipedia for basic info of almost any kind, and it has almost entirely replaced my googling habits. But, I do have a use for Le Chat some days, as my work involves a lot of boring reports/summaries. On a good day I can get in a full day of billable work by the afternoon. That said, these are reports basically nobody reads and just exist for the sake of work-product and having something to report back about.

  • I made this augmented reality art

    Jump

  • I should have focused more on being a good critic. I actually do like the piece itself, I'm just fussy about verbiage.

  • UK: Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?

    Jump

  • I would be absolutely against hindering artist income. There should definitely be the chance to sell tickets to performances and to sell any physical media.

    And perhaps the art bank idea would benefit from increasing your monthly UBI if a lot of people are documented using your work. Like, a bottom tier starting artist should still get a massive boost to give them time to work, but maybe they'd still have a job on the side - but an artist doing highly valuable work should be getting a thriving wage from it, one way or another between tickets, sales, and a higher monthly income from the art fund.

    Still just spit balling, just trying to imagine a world where culture becomes a top priority again.

  • But... He's selling watermelons. Why isn't he busy? 😭

  • I made this augmented reality art

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure augmented reality means (or used to mean) there's a component of the piece only to be found online, but tied to the area itself somehow.

  • Russia strips nuclear forces, Navy, and Air Force to fill infantry ranks

    Jump

  • Oh shit! They kept on threatening to mobilize their nuclear forces and they're finally gonna do it.

  • UK: Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?

    Jump

  • Standing by for the standard "loicense" joke...

    While we wait for that, it might be worth discussing that bit about public art. You could definitely do that, but it might make more sense to simply require that any artistic output be released in a free (within the UK) format with attribution, and have them put some smart looking crest on it saying it was partly funded by this program. Then each submission could be tagged and added to a public art bank, which is then usable (with attribution) by anyone in the country for public works or private usage. And maybe businesses too, if they pay enough into the UBI scheme? Feels risky.

    Honestly I just wish there was a place like Scarecrow Video in the UK. It's pretty much the one thing I don't get here compared to Seattle. I'm even getting the same weather.
