I love books, and words, and language in general. Also, I copyedit, write, commit textile art atrocities, make maps, ttrpg, and keep my garden just this side of looking like a vacant lot.

I already didn't really like the mediocre coffee, but the fact that Tim Hortons has chosen to funnel profits into lobbies for human rights violations, child abuse and bigotry cements my decision to shun them forever. Make your own choice, but if I see you with a Timmy's cup, I will not respect you.

I, for one, welcome our allium overlords...
I think so much about the food people ate pre-Columbian exchange. Huge parts of cuisine extremely important on both sides of the pond just didn't exist.
You've probably heard a little about what was brought over from the New World, corn, potatoes, cocoa, cassava, peanuts, chili peppers, avocadoes, cranberries, pumpkins, and the like. Imagine cooking without chili! Without potatoes! Modern Indian cuisine contains enormous amounts of potatoes and we just didn't have those for the vast majority of history. The best of the nightshades all on one contiguous hunk of land. Hell, tomatoes! Almost forgot about those.
But we don't often look at what the Old World had. Wheat! Barley! Rice! A profusion of incredible grains, really, the finest poaceae has to offer. Carrots! Tons of rosaceous plants like apples and cherries and pears and peaches and apricots! Grapes! Soy and Bamboo! Okra and watermelon! All these things were simply never found in the Americas. The grains one is the wildest for me, the variety of grains available across Eurasia and Africa was truly astounding.
You know what binds together the food of all cultures across the world? Onions. Onions are fucking everywhere. There's probably onions growing near you right now. Allium Gang Unite.

The 'fears' about UBI are at best, emotionally based fiction, but more likely, rooted in a desire to create a neo-feudal serf class to exploit.
Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives. No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.
