Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

Basic Income Action ↗️ @basicincomeaction.org · 03/10/2026
Welfare asks "do you qualify?" A right asks "are you a member of the community?" Basic income is more than money. It's a claim, a right to access, our shared share of what we all inherit and build together.

"Dear Diary, There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

Behold, the world's smallest cow
A silly photo messing with perspective. A hilly grassy field with 4 cows, three quite far away, one a little closer. The person who took the photo is next to the fence, and the closest cow appears to be standing on top of a fence post.

On Thursday afternoon, do drop into Rutherglen Library and hear me talk under their amazing dome about the latest in the Dr Jack Cuthbert series. It’s a free event, but do book your place with the library. And there’s tea & coffee — worth the trip alone. Would be great to see you.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Heres’ a poem for all the pedents.
Pedents
 
Foot soldiers in the War on Error,
they’re here to save us from ourselves,
with Fowler’s Modern English Usage
(first edition, nineteen twelve).
 
They scrutinise each word we write
for typos, gaffes, et cetera,
correcting all our dumb mistakes
to make our grammar betterer.
 
They sigh and tut and tell us off
for the rules we have forsaken
and chart this nation’s steep decline
by the care we should of taken.
 
Custodians of the King’s English,
they merely serve to keep it pure
and restrict, they hope, the ignorant
to three mistakes or less.
 
In doing so, they hold no fear
they will deprive a thing of life:
for it’s not important what is said,
what matters is that its right.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
